Spirit of the Barbs Summon Druid

20 raven
20 wolf (life bonus kind)
20 wolf (defense bonus kind)
20 spirit of barbs
1 oak sage
1 Heart of Wolverine
1 werebear
1 werewolf
Rest Lycanthropy (life and duration of werebear)

4 things returning 500 % physical damage and able to respawn summons (ravens blinding ranged shooters)


Hell P8 would murder this I would assume...
Could I stack a thorns arua on top of this??
From bramble,edge, or act 2 merc??


Could add like another 800% at that point..

yes but would be trash and not worth it

Any other opinions??

I actually started a summon druid last night, got to catacombs pretty easily with ravens and wolves. Planning on grinding a couple ral runes for killing Andy tho..

Let us know if you can take diablo

any type of thorns build is painfully slow and by hell you'll want to quit.

thorns/conversion works well on old patches because you could convert the mobs to deal dmg for you while acting as a thorns blanket. but druid summons do shit dmg. also 20 raven is way overkill. if you have 10 or so ravens you'll have plenty to blind casters. they wont do dmg no matter how much u point it.

if it were me i'd suggest spirit of barbs, rabies, spirit wolves for more thorns, and a few ravens. strong poi creeper. 1 pt fury w/ a CB wep for boss reruns.

plain thorns with no dmg dealing would be a serious pain in the ass.

If i get to the point i dont like this build i could just re-stat into something else, just wanted to try something defensive..

Another ideal popped in my head of a summon necro with a thorns aura (probably better than this char)

The problem with that is the thorns will be completely useless in comparison to the damage your skeletons will do. You won’t even notice the thorns damage in the slightest vs the damage a mob of skeletons does

Summon necro won't just easy P8 Hell
Choice between Druid (barely making by) VS Necro (having more damage)
Paladin ideal i had is way worse and no fun at all... Atleast with some type of summons it makes it a little different..

I want something defensive and fun.. I really enjoyed our Werebear / Summon walk (because its the only xpac char i got to beat hell p8 HC) figured if i tweaked the rules a little bit and try again i might have a little fun again..
I dont care about making it to the end any more, I just need to see the fun again..

summon nec does ez p8 hell tho. because they use corpse explode, which scales in dmg with player settings because it uses monster HP.

I want to make a vanilla throw/smite pally who aims for enigma/lacerator. You could try that so I can watch and get a blueprint for what to do lol
