I want to commit to a 99 grind and the pvm character I have the most fun on is my fury druid. I want feedback on the best build or what I can do to improve my build for 99 grind pvm. The thing is right now he already destroys solo TZ content with no real weakness and multiplayer games. Im playing on non ladder bnet.

I am wondering if I would see a big improvement with Death or Tomb Reaver or Ribcracker over my Grief/Phoenix combo. Ive got a really high eth 3os tomb reaver I could use. I run around in wolf mode with bear, HOW, and merc, as one does.

Gear:
Jalal non socket
DS Fortitude
Grief PB
Phoenix Monarch
Highlord
LOH
20/233 Raven
4LL BK
Travs
CTA/Spirit switch but I never use BO
Anni/Torch/Physical Sunder/random max ar life charms and life res poison scs

Merc has 17med eth ca insight, eth treachery, cure helm

Use Meta instead Jalals
Use Gores instead WT
Hoto seems better than CTA on switch for precast.
Shapers skillers.
I never use cta in PvM fury wolf.

I play solo offline p8 with this set up:
Metamorhosis in +3 fury pelt
Fortitude
Eth Death Decapitator
Highlord
LOH
5LL BK + Rare melee ring
Gore Rider
CTA \ Spirit on switch
Anni \ Torch
ACT 5 merc with double hustle + Lawbringer + Cure

I tried many options, but this set up i like most. I wreck everything in p8, including ubers. Maybe Act 2 might merc with pride would be better, but i don't have another Cham rune to test it.
CTA on switch i used mostly for merc, without it he dies on ubers.

And yes, once i switched Jalals on Metamorphosis... Its like a reborn to killing machine... So it's a first think, that you should do with your gear

Is an eth death decap better than my grief pb / phoenix combo in a major way? I noticed my 3os eth tomb reaver is around the same as my current set up.

I'll try this out I have a spare zod I found in the pits. Just need to trade for an eth reaper. I am curious how it will perform compared to my grief/phoenix combo.
