Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Keitaro - 11-05-2004
May a Moderator add this to the druide strategy list?
A Rabies Druide is great for PvP battles, but does not quite show its powers in PvM.
The Guide is build with perfect items stats, and if you dont get them perfect you shoud set the missing strenght to the base stat.
The main strategy is to make a sucsessive hit at the foe, then run and avoid from them.
Unless the foe has max poison resistance and huge amount of life, you pretty much OHKO them. (One Hit Knock Out)
Hint: If your foe has a hireling or a summoning creature then aim at them, cause they pass by their master plenty of times, and rabies will affect them too.
There ain`t so much more to say then to give you the build.
Stats:
Strenght: 31
Dexterity: 80, more if you have big problems hitting your foe.
Vitality: All the rest of your points.
Energy: 0
Skills:
20 Rabies
20 Poison Creeper
20 Werewolf
20 Lycanthropy
20 Oak Sage
01 Raven
01 Summon Spirit Wolf
07 Summon Dire Wolf
Gear:
Helm:
Jalal`s Mane socketed with a Um Rune
1Weapon:
Plague Bearer socketed with a 5/5 Poison Facet
1Shield:
Sanctuary Troll Nest
2Weapon:
CtA Flail
2Shield:
Lidless Wall socketed with a Um Rune
Armour:
Bramble Archon Plate
Gloves:
Trang-Oul`s Claw
Belt:
Bugged Siggard`s Stealth
Boots:
1Etheral Sandstorm Trek
2Natalya`s Soul (add 15 more strenght in base stat)
Amulet:
Mara`s Kaleidoscope
1Ring:
Raven Frost
2Ring:
Bul-Kathos` Wedding Band
Stone of Jordan
Inventory:
1 Annihilus small charm
9 5% Resist all, 20 Life small charms
10 Shape Shifting grand charms with life if you can get it
You may notice that you need to be at high level to wear you full eqipment, and the strenght is just enought to wear them all.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Rapta111 - 11-06-2004
If you want a shifting druid made for PvP, you will want LOTS and LOTS of speed... Otherwise you will likely be killed before you reach the enemy player.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Keitaro - 11-06-2004
If you shoud get that problem, then change your 5% resist all, 20 life small charms to faster run/walk small charms with 20 life.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Rapta111 - 11-06-2004
Yes, just what I was thinking...
And you might want to switch the Jalal's to a Cerebrus, since it has better mods for a shifter druid. Also, you might want to upgrade the Plague Bearer.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Keitaro - 11-06-2004
Jalal`s is better becuse of it offers more bonus, and the only thing good Cerebus` offer is the bonus to attack rating.
Why shoud I upgrade the plague bearer i wonder? Please tell me..:blank:
The only reason you shoud use it is because of the 5+ rabies skill, and the weapon don`t get much more dmg when upgraded.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Skippy - 11-06-2004
Whut is a Plague Bearer . and with my rabie druid i was missing the enemy when it was like a pally or a Barb because there defense was so high.
maybee i should switch my sojs and maras to angelics?
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Keitaro - 11-06-2004
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/exceptional/uswords.shtml <--- you find it there.
if you diddent hit them, make them run to you because then they only have like 1/3 of their block.
If not, you shoud add more dexterity and more skills in Werewolf skill.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Rapta111 - 11-06-2004
First of all, it is really easy to upgrade it, and will get you double the amount of physical damage which you may want for poison immunes. And monsters don't suffer from the block penalty when moving. Only YOU do.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Keitaro - 11-06-2004
Well, the dmg on that type of sword dont change much if you take a look at the differense in dmg they to.
Anyway, if you read the topic you may notice that it says PvP, and in the guide I also sayd that Rabies aint good in PvM.:blank:

- thnxz for the advice i am going to try it.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - ken2520 - 11-07-2004
i dont get it... u would need 129 skills to max it out... thats impossible..... the max u can have is lik 117 or somehting... and notice that ppl use a 6 socket phase blade with 6 shaels...
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Keitaro - 11-07-2004
The total amount of skills you can have at level 99 is 100 skill points.
Even though a phase blade with 6 shaels is pretty fast, is reduse your med my (i guess 10K).
You only need 1 hit, so speed aint that important.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Rapta111 - 11-08-2004
Wrong. The total amount of skill points you can have at level 99 is 98 without skill quests, and 110 with all skill quests. And it takes a total of EXACTLY 110 points to finish that druid. Obviously, if that was too many points, I would have easily identified the flaw.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - Keitaro - 11-08-2004
You dont say.
Well, i know it is 110 skill points you can get trough the game, and you probably would just make your druide about lvl 80-90.
This shoud be enough to max Rabies, Poison Creeper, Werewolf and Lycantrophy.
After these four main skills you start building your Oak Sage up, and if you manage to complete it, you can go on to the other skills. (require high level)
The summon wolfs are just a bonus of flesh shield if you get high level.

Why not make it bear instead? It tanks much better than wolves IMO.
Guide: PvP Rabies Druide - smirk_zero - 11-14-2004

Then you either "play bad" or just have bad eqipment.

ya i think it still depends on how u or ur opponent duel, ur stuffs, ur oponent stuffs,...
anyway, w/c is better for melee druids, oak sage or wolverine(the one that gives dmg)??
