Level 9 Boulder Druid Guide.
First this character isn't a one hitter quiter, so be prepared to spend a a good minute or two dueling, you have to get them to hit the boulder :)

First this is a cheap build, and does decent damage even built cheap.

Gear.
Basically you want gear that has alot of mana regeneration and replenish life, so in this build there will be lots of flawed skulls used (aslo in my opinion they give everything a gray/black color and it looks cool +1 style!)

Armor: 4 soc Superior (15/15) Gothic Plate with 4 flawed skulls 12 rep life 32 mana regen.

Helm: Cheap find a pelt with + to oak sage so you don't have to put points into this with 2 soc add flawed skulls.
the less cheap way find a + boulder with +oak pelt (mine is 3 boulder 2 oak 2 soc and insert 2 flawed skulls).

Gloves Boots Shield: Sigons for all 3 and in Sig Shield you want a + mana and dtm - req jewel

Sash: Lenymo Sash 15 mana and 30% mana regen!! OMG great for the build :)

Wep: Jewels are what come into play with this caster no need faster cast rate, so a 6 soc Crystal sword does great here,
with the right jewels you can put a good majority of your characters Life and Mana in here as well as Damage to Mana (dtm)
so keep and eye out for jewels with those also could use to get str and dex with :)

Rings: Again not a melee character so no need AR need to look for a good 2 str life rep mana ring

Amy: again no need ar so str life or mana with life rep.

Example:

Charms: Since you don't have much mana you are going to want a good set of life mana large charms, 15 life is max and 7 mana is max,
if on a tight budget and the 20 perfect 15 life 7 mana are out of your reach, it is plenty fine to settle with between 4-6 mana 20 charms @ 4 mana each still +80 mana,
with your mana regen, you should never run out.
Stats
Str: Enough for gear
Dex: NN max block as you need to avoid getting hit
Vita: Rest here
Skills.
If you could get a good helm with oak then just dump all into Boulder and fire storm, if not 1 into oak does wonders
How To Duel:
Avoid getting hit, try and predict what direction the opponent is going to go, you want the boulder to hit them because that is where the damage comes from, at this level the fire doesn't do much.

Vlld ranged chars can go to lvl 12
Using 3 angelic pieces adds +1 skills gg mana and life
U can use normal skulls at 12 and get better charms too
Lvl 9 is just too weak

even when lld was at its max population only a few people built lvl 9s, presumably because everyone instantly jumped into the "noo you make my lvl 9 with 10k fg jewels in wep look retarded when you dont just point and click, stop all that magic " grain
