For d2r rabies is bad and unconsistent in pvp.
So either you can make a hybrid, or a ctc build, or you can go full fury + maxed grizzly.
USE warrens attack speed calculator, build the build the way you play.
People often think that one cannot teleport when ur building a shape, but you can, its just more struggle with unshape-tele-shape-attack combi instead of tele-attack… ofc, doing it with 0fcr is very slow, the shapechange skill itself is also slow after tele with low fcr.
Here are some fun items to build around:
Metamorphosis, Even if ur a wolf the mark of the bear can be active for 180 seconds.
- Grief ba or Pb, both are usable, and so is eth death zerker, doom. But doom is bm.
- For 2 handers i would say eth tomb is best, because you need the resists, however there Are some botd 2 handers which perform better damage and range. (GPa and gt)
- Hybrid then eth zod earthshifter is great. High fireskill level grants Nice physical damage and ranged attacks, meanwhile nado is more a middle ground with more damage but Worse combination.
- When it comes to ctc builds eth zod stormlash + phoenix is great. Mb with pheonix and you easy reach decent damage, and 30k+ ar.
