Ive played since before LOD and have never made a Fury Druid...im considering making one. I guess my first question is because i think im getting old and forgot the calculation with this......when you up an exceptional unique item to elite (whether an armor or shield or weapon) what are the variances in rolls? For instance If I up an eth ribcracker ....what is the range of total min max dmg i can get and what is the best possible roll? I am aware when upping that there can be a variance...just not sure what it is. I have rolled some upped eth Hoz's and they came out pretty crappy...this is the reason im asking. Next, can someone definitely tell me what the best in slot PVM weapon is for a fury druid? Finally can someone tell me their version of a good fury druid (not a very rich in fg in d2r, but can make do with a 5kfg build) as far as gear and charms. TIA! I know there are guides out there to help me, but i want to hear from some of you.

upg question: no variables when upping weapons, only the ed on the item itself matters. when upping armors the base defense is randomized

3 good pvm weapons: ebotd in bases ike archon staff/gpa/ghost spear - eth death in glorious axe/decapitator/champ axe - eth zoded reaper's toll (use this on merc if you're not using it yourself)

skillers with frw + scs with max ar frw are good for you.

as for other gear: loh + forti(or eni) + gore + highlord + metamorphosis with +3 fury. no need for fancy expensive stuff really
