The problem with this build is that....u maxed out 5 skillz....when u can only max about 4...unless u have da patience to lvl to 99:confused: ...but other than that its ok:p

[BlackMage908]

Nah, you only need to get to 94. My sorc is almost 94, and all of my stuff is maxed, only one is missing 2 skills or so.

94 + Skill Quests = Completed Build.

[MadCowBoy]

And this build has really high add skills,so u can get twenty something skill even u put only 1 skill point in~
Forgot this point,u'll get around 16k-17k fire damage when using all number one items~And 25k armageddon~

[Kingsrookie]

nice build. could be an even decent fire clawer at lvl 99 with bear lycant wolf feral maul and then fire claw good damage on fireclaw to

[MadCowBoy]

SORRY,16k-17k is firestorm

[Silver Ice]

u could add more into the conclusion of the build.... like total max dmg with armageddon, total with firestorm, attack or cast speed, fhr speed, total + to skills, total life after bo+sage... other then that your guide looks awesome.

[Keitaro]

I made one of thoose druides before when, but i diddent have enigma then. (I have tested with after)
The only advice i can say to you is that you shoud not max armageddon. Yes armageddon hase a huge damage, but the skill in un-stabil. It rarely hits, but when it does hit it hits good. I agree on most of what you say, but you shoud max fissure and its syn-energys only.
There is 1 more negative thing about your build. The druide wont get any life when you low level oak sage is gone.
I wanna suggest another build wich i see as an improvement for a fire elemental druide.

Strenght: Enought for eqipment
Dexterity: 75 (desent block, and you can use wizzard spike vs blizzard sorc.
Vitality: Rest
Energy: 0
A good druide needs to have huge life. Thats why hurricane druides are so good.

Skills max in order:
20 Fissure
20 Oak Sage
20 Firestorm
20 Volcano
There is no need to max Molten Boulder or Armageddon, since bouth skills are pretty useless. Fissure is by far the best fire element damage you have, and is the one most people use in duelling. Combinating this and enigma is a hard combination and require fast reflexses. If you truly want, then use enigma, but a CoH would work just as good when you using fissure.

Gear:
Helm:
Ravenlore socket Um or cham if you want cannot be frozen (-18-20% enemy fire resist, 20-25% all resist)
Weapon:
HotO
Shield:
Stormshield socket with ber, shael or um
Armor:
CoH Archon
Gloves:
Magefist
Belt:
Arachnid
Boots:
Sandstorm (15 strenght, 60-70% psn resist)
Amulet:
Maras (28-30%)
Rings:
2x SoJ


I shoud add that i dont play ladder, so i dont know much about ladder items for the build. This is how it would look like in non-ladder.

[MadCowBoy]

LoL~OK~I'll go try to test these changes with my JAMELLA,cos it finally worked~

[Fishee]

Kae's guide seemed more right i like Hoj or phx more though

Sirs,

Question, is it just me or is fire the seemingly first element or the most widely immune element in Diablo2 ?

I often meet my first immunity as a fire immune. Why is that? hmm...

Do have a nice day.

That is correct, but 80% of the players play to get their players to duelling. Wich means most dont bother that monsters are immune.

[PoisonWolf]

Sir,

Oh well, in that case, hmm, sigh, I guess ultimately, Hammerdins are the still the best when fighting or playing normally.

Thanks anyway, do have a nice day.

[Fishee]

My fire sorc suked in hell... she turned out to be a dueler as all of my chars do after time
