PvP Fire Claw Druid - FrogMan - 07-17-2006
Pvp Fire Claw Druid
This build uses the Werebear form combined with the awesome power of Fireclaws. this build can be very fun as well as powerful. Its very easyily possible for your Fireclaws to deal 12k dmg+.
Ok! Lets get started. First of all are the stats.
STATS:
Strength - Enough to wear equipment
Dexterity - Enough for max block, and no, you don't have to put extra points in here for AR. Ill explain later on. Max Block formula ->(2*clvl*75/Block% on your Shield)+15
Vitality - As much as possible
Mana - None

Rest into Lycanthropy(for more life), or Fire Storm(for more fire damage)
Most duelers stop lvling at lvl 85.
Lvl 85 = 84 base skills plus 12 skill points from quests = 96 skills to use
You need to use 83 points essentially in this build.
This leaves you with 13 skills points to you at lvl 85, you can:
1] Put 13 into Fire Storm for even more fire damage.
2] Put 13 into your oak or Lycanthropy
3] Use 2 points for Arctic Blast, and Cyclone Armor for some help in taking some elemental dmg and insert the other 11 into your Fire Storm or life skills.
