Anybody wanna do few more? Need to decide to if I stay with Runemaster or BotD with Shaper inventory.

This is what I got thus far, and is working out but not the best, I guess.

Just got back to my PC so I have time to type a few things

I'll write this under the assumption that you intend on trying out some GM melee duels. (AKA, this advice does not really apply to pub dueling where you'd be up against sorcs, assassins, etc. - I know less about this)

- Having an inventory of 36/20s on a wolf is pretty atypical and not often utilized. I would say the only use case for 37x 36/20s is if you are dueling high defense melee classes and using a dagger or something where you would not need to use 9x 45 life SS GCs. I.e., a fools fanged knife or bone knife with 37x 36/20s might be OK vs. a zealot or conc barb. Even in this case though, I would recommend using some 3/XX/20 small charms mixed in there as well as you would really benefit from the +maximum damage using a fools dagger and you might not need as much AR as you're thinking

- If you are intending on doing gm melee duels, you'll primarily be up against: 1) other wolf druids, 2) zealots, 3) jab zons, and 4) conc barbs. Your build is probably going to switch depending on what you are up against. I saw nepenthe mentioned you need a gface - that's absolutely correct, but gface's best use case is in FvF (fury vs. fury) for that CB and DS boost. Ideally, you would take off the Gface and put on a Cerebus if you were up against a zealot, conc, or jab.

- I saw you mentioned a 160/60 armor. While they are cool, their use case is pretty limited if you are playing gm melee fury. Fort is very hard to beat. You should check out the rare melee league if you wanna use a 160/60 :)

- 9x 45 life SS GCs and 10x 3/XX/20s and/or 36/20s would probably be best for either Rune Master or EBOTD

- Finally, there are a lot of melee duels happening. Check out pn/1 on Americas realm, there are usually people in there and they are always sparring. Other games include rpk/1 (this is for rare duels only, aka only rare/crafted items), barb vs barb (obviously this is for BvB, so I wouldnt bring your wolf in there), and zpk/1 (Korean ruleset for gm melee, wolf druids are welcome but there are slight rule changes such as Death runeword being unbanned and such)

Working on it, boss.
45's need to be delivered, I can spend 5.2k on it.
Guilaumes I found at mule, so that is okay.
I even won a few duels.
Thank you _VERY_ much!
:)

You can probably afford a set of 9x 44s for 5.2k, I think 9x 45s go for like 9-11k

Okay, that is not my budget atm.
Got few goodies to catch up them 10+Thousand Forum Coin.

And yes, I only used Cerebus at this time.
Good to know that I only need the 2 helmet choices.

Right know 45s go for ~900+ea, 44s go for 300-400fg. Most likely you may build the mix of them in the budget.

I post because of reasons.
This user blocked me cuz I upped my offer, it somehow triggered.
Your community is full of ''do you need charms, breh''.
Why is that?
Because first thing I entered the game, some shady guy told me he was locked cuz of illegal trade and gave his 'brothers' account to add me at discord and jsp.
Nomatter what, I keep myself far from you.
