So im making a new toon and im stuck
I want something that can clear choas fast with some mf. But also cheap.
I was thinking windy with
Jala ist
Mara
Hoto
Spirit
Bk?
Spider
War travs
Enigma

But if i go with hdin i could stack way more mf and be more reliable.
Any suggestions guys?

Hdin

125fcr with as much mf as u can get

Not worth more mf if u cast slower and thus kill less things over time

If you really like druids or want more of a challenge, make a windy. Otherwise, hdin is superior in almost every way. The only advantages windy has over hdin is oak and bear.

No wind druid would be ever to clear chaos faster than a hammerdin. Even a cheap geared one would be casting 12k hammers at 9 frames.

Wind druids are slower, teleing 1 or 2 frames slower and dealing around 5k tornado damage which will be further reduced by monsters DR.

Only upside of druids is higher life plus summons. But when you can clear chaos in a minute or so, more safety rarely matters.

Wind is a PvP char and is mediocre at best in PvM. Bone necros are cheap but are still relatively slow until you have a geared mercenary, enigma, torch, and a wand. Fortunately everything necro apart from the enigma can be made with like 50 fg.

Typically wind druids are PvP characters at best as stated however if geared properly you can easily still clear chaos.

5Nado Life+FHR / 141 BER Shako
Enigma (low str requirement)
Eth SB with 20/15
Spirit 35%FCR/HighSorb/HighMana / BER'd Stormshield for swap if you want Maxblock
Magefists
30 Maras / 2skill/20fcr/+life/+mana/+str Ammy
Sandstorm trek 15/15
SOJ + Raven for (Cold Sorb + Mana stating here) doesnt hurt to have BK + Dwarf in stash also 15DR/5LL
Spider Belt 120ED if possible
Decent Torch
15+/15+/10 Anni

SKILLS / Stats ALL Vita.Target lvl: 94
20 tornado
20 hurricane
20 cyclone armor
20 twister
20 oak
1 bear
1 raven
1 wolf

As for your question about being more reliable in chaos if your strictly just looking to magic find then go sorceress or hammer-din there is no reason to waste time trying to magic find on characters who will have lower magic find % regardless without MFSC's cause then you'd lower skill/dmg by not having skill charms in your inventory.

Benefit: You have more magic find % / saves you much valuable time.
