The-Grim-Reaper Wrote:could u ellaborate on fire skills & fire claw build.. would u pre-cast armageddon then switch to bear mode and use fire claws?? bcuz u cant cast elemental skills after uve become a bear. also armageddon isnt a synergy of fire claw, so would u max that and take away one of the synergys?? if u do then im guessing ud have to max fissure to allow armageddon to last 50 seconds other than 12 seconds which just runs out too quick.armageddon isnt too powerful anyways and to take away a synergy for fire claws would make it really weak.. and to take away one of fire claws synergys just for that would be pointless. ud also have to put pts to pre-reqs for the eniter rite side of the elemental tree. plus this build would be MUCH too slow for a fire clawer. just a pure fire claw would be much better.
i thought this build would be nice cuz fury does a ton of dmg, plus ud have the extra cold dmg that freezes opponents making them slower. and ud have nice life and elemental sorb.
OK.
1) Armageddon may be cast in any transformed state, Including werewolf, werebear, and, yes, the delerium bone fetish.
2) Yes, armageddon is weak. Yes, removing one of the Fireclaws synergy makes the build weaker. Yes it would be pointless. WAY too slow for a hybrid fireclaw. Agreed, but that defeats the purpose of the build, doesn't it?
3) Yup.
On using armageddon - Don't, its too weak
On using Fireclaws - Dont unless you go pure FClaw
On using Maul/Feral Rage - MAYBE consider pts in Feral Rage if you're wolfin it, but maul seems useless here.
On using Fury - Yes. Plain and simple. Its extra hits follow a very low frame attack speed and would help counterract the effects of having to equip a slow maul. The only problem here is getting interrupted mid attack. If you get hit more than once in a fury cycle, it would seem that the remaining hits wouldn't work. COntinuing to hold the fury button will only cause you to miss over and over and over. This is why elemental damage added to each attack is helpful. The elemental burst animations let you know you hit th monster, similar to using a Fendazon.
All in all it's a good idea. Maybe if the forum collaberates a little and has a few healthy discussions about it, we could make this build highly viable. In fact, I hope it could be a good (no,no,no... Great) build, cuz it sounds kinda fun.
