Hi guys, wondering on the importance of FHR nowadays with all the changes.. as Maul werebear does it worth it still stacking FHR?
Got 4 sock life armor for reaching insane IAS bps but at the same time not sure if 24fhr one would be more suitable. I remember very well how important it was in D2, but it seems in D2R once you start maul-ing (and thats what you do all the time), FHR just doesn't matter... so what would be your advice/experience?

attacks in bear form are now uninterruptable in d2r. so if attacking yes fhr useless.


if chasing zon or something, then maybe need fhr

No need fhr.

I’d recommend using hustle armor, the 40ias on it is most likely gonna bring you to the same breakpoint as an expensive 4os/life + 4 jewel armor, but the real advantage is the 65frw and +6 evade.

This build doesn’t lack dps… what it’s craving is more mobility.

Else Fort still ends up the highest dps option when paired with metamorphosis and just about any weapon choice.
But low frw on a werebear is kinda lame to play on the long run.

i agree, hustle armor is like made for werebear (just like Obedience for FClaw but thanks to blizz FC is dead now),however, the resist department is low.. 30anya, 40 torch anni, 10 meta, 10 hustle = 90 or -10 on hell. Eventually 20 more from rings. Yes, you have summons etc. but if start filling inventory with resist charms it will end up more expensive than armor with 4 x jewels.. and loosing AR from inventory (since we keep hlord at all times).. then again there is enigma, with hustle on switch for BoS max speed is achieved with just gloves + hl... for 2 minutes...
then you can just go frame slower and use anything you like..
anyway, will make the armor with 4 x ias/res for ubers.. this allows dracs and max speed with hlord.. 75cb is fine for them
