new build includes 4 damage auras!!!

total resets so far - 4

Damage auras obtained - Might act2 merc, concentration pride ca, wolverine druid summon, fanta beast ba

summons maxed - dire wolve, bear, wolverine

wolf - fury maxed, 1 point wolf and points down to fury, beast gives points to lycanthropy so make sure you cast wolf transform when beast is equipped.

remaining points into spirit wolves so they get more hp and last little longer. Im not casting ravens so I just jumped points into spirit wolves to chill mobs with their cold damage. might reset again and dump points into lycanthropy for the extra life to druid and never cast spirit wolves if they continue to die too much.

Fury casts life tap quickly, summons and merc stay alive for most part. No decrep cast since merc has pride instead.

going to do some more runs later to test fuller games. P1 is really easy now.

So far getting summons to kill in P1 was hard part. Now we are there and druid is helping kill fast.

edit:
might just put 1 point fury next time and max ravens, then finish points in spirit wolves. Ravens are a huge damage when maxed. Fury damage is mostly irrelevant since we just want crushing blow procs from beast runeword. Maxed out ravens would end up doing more damage overall maybe..

I prefer the werebear version where I just run around shockwaving stuff and my summons pick em whilst they're dizzy. Works on minions of destructions too and very "safe" for cows - especially extra fast tz cows. Beast gives you werebear and if you can find a shockwave pelt for metamorph even better.
