Is this new best PVM weapon for fury pvm

Rumor?

Bump

Most likely that or eth upped ribcracker with zod.

I use that non ladder, summoner with sonme fury points, enigma and zoded eth reapers, its very good honestly, can have full summon charms and still do a lot of damage.

I think dbrunski has a video with demo of how it looks.

Can you share gear and merc gear ideas with me

Do you need ar if u have ignore def?

What ias needed are there new ias bos?

Ideally Merc would need either might with pride, or if act 1 then faith for fanat i think.

Gear for mine is eth reaper zod, enigma, gface, loh, highlord, gores the standard stuff, hoto and spirit on switch for teleing around and summoning. thundergods if going wsk, arachnid if chaos.

Chaos and normal farming is no issue at all due to the huge meat shield, something harder like dclone is easy as well, but the only part of the horde that survives till the end is the bear and yourself, i just do one feral rage and then fury, resummon anything that dies.

Have not tried ubers though, need to do that, see what works.

edit;

i looked at maxroll to check the ias, and it says that with reaper+highlord+Loh you get 4.81 hits per second, and if i add goldwrap, 15ias jewel in andariel, treachery the attacks per second are still 4.81 so i dont think that changes, a grief in a pb is 4.17 so it seems that reaper is able to hit max ias just with loh and highlords.

Awesome!

Thanks man.

How does he fair in p8?

Would you consider ebotd wp for stronger damage merc?

with maxed heart of the wolverine and maxed summons it does well in p8 as long as you are have good res, so for enigma and p8 i use jalal's mane with an um/res jewel. If no tele, then i use forti/gface with an um. Or if you get the res from +5 sc then you can use a cham and replace the ravenfrost with a bul kathos ring i guess.

About the ebotd, before blizzz unlocked having all the summons out at once i think it could have worked, now its simply better to get concentration for all your summons+ yourself than more damage to your merc.

According to maxroll, at lvl 44 the bear is doing 8k damage before heart of the wolverine, the merc with ebotd is doing 6.5k.

With pride and heart of the wolverine, lvl 44 bear does 14.5k damage.

I think the auras give you a lot more bang for your buck.

The big question is how many points to put into fury and lychantropy, i think that 8 hard points in each gives you a nice balance, you get 26 total for lychantropy (+145%life) when using hoto and spirit to transform, and when you switch to reaper, you still have lvl 21 total fury for +440% damage this at lvl 90. I think thats where preference comes in, you gotta choose you want more life when transforming with hoto, or more attack when using reapers.

I wouldnt go for a heavy armor though, i used a kraken shell enigma that i had originally for my barb and it ate too much into my life before transforming.

I went a slightly different path, but am also very happy with the druids current state.
Skills:
Max werewolf
Max lycanthropy
Max oak sage (you could go wolverine if you prefer damage)
Max fury
Rest into feral rage (you could instead level up your summons, depends on preference)

Play style: left klick feral rage to hit a few mobs for improved leech, then hold right click and run through the map and remove everything

Loadout:
CoA 2os with 2*IAS res jewel (I took fire and lighting)
Fortitude light armor (Archon)
Nosferatus Coil (need the 10 IAS and lifeleech + strength always handy for melee)
Gore Riders
Ravenfrost
Dual Leech AR Res ring
Draculs Grasp (depending on where you farm you don't need them, but i want a one for all loadout without the need to adapt, so I can go even to non-leechable areas and farm there, again, Str and lifeleech always a nice bonus for melee) if u prefer extra dmg vs demons go LoH
Highlord
So we hit 60 IAS
And then Death in Champion Axe!
Crushing Blow and Deadly Strike just rip everything apart.
2nd slot: reapers toll or lawbringer pb to Procc decrep for PIs

With a decent Anni, Torch and a few AR/Max charms this is a brutal setup and viable for every place a melee char could go.
Wanna do Ubers? Buff with demon limb and treachery and let them pop.

Ez all area char!

I felt that the Merc didn't matter too much, you could go a2 might with pride, eth andy, eth Forti or also a2 with reapers toll for another source of decrep.
If you are super wealthy, go dual last wish A5 frenzy Merc with eth Arreat and eth Forti.
A1 Cold Merc with eth andy IAS/fire res jewel, eth treachery or fortitude and high aura roll Mist is also nice and something different. Nice cc with freezing arrow. You can also use Faith in GMB or Mat Bow instead.

Actually, what also works out fine is grief PB with Phoenix Shield. A little hard to hit maxblock but still a viable and lil bit different choice. There u can go Guillaume with um, and nosferatu + highlord for ias (need 63, so at least 33ias Grief). I prefer keeping the Dracs but u can use LoH (If u use LoH, IAS in Grief doesn't matter and u can use another belt like dungos or Thundergod)

So i changed the kraken for a mp and now i have 2.8k life after wolfing up, and if you use 5/5 cta instead of hoto you get 3.5k life, without heart of the oak just max wolverine.

here is the build if you wanna take a look
