druid showoff thread yeah!

[L4E]

lol well i dont know much about melee druids, but afaik fury increases ur dmg, but even then.. maybe max dmg charms would add more?

Best circ on ladder? I hope so!

PS - Thanks for the guide Frater. Still not sure if I like using Doom or HOTO better though. I like mfing pit for kicks and the -cold res makes everything pop g-merc style. But I guess HOTO is more useful in general.

nice circlet dude.

Nice circlet!
No problem, glad to have been of help. Yeah, Doom is nice for PvM, but I rarely do that any more, so I was taking it from the PvP aspect really.

ok this was my first atempt at a ele druid and yes i know i screwed up with the life and strength but shhh


still rate please.

[FraterPerdurabo]

I rate your build about 2/10.

Is that Nightwing on your Druid? Remove it please.

Yes, your stats are screwed. You have way too much STR, way too much DEX (unless you are going for max block, but in that case you have too little STR).

Also, your damage is EXTREMELY low, as is your life.

[RaZzor]

Ahmagad >_< 2.8k life.

@ eg72521lty

Nice circ. Did you trade it or find it? I'd like to know how many HR's you paid if you traded it

[Nex]

lol i r teh noobie

[eq72521lty]

well that life is without bo and oak and charms lol. I traded a 45 ele lifer for that circ on jsp - fg offers were over 400. HR's? I dunno - I wouldn't take less than 60 lol!

By the way, what's the jewel in the circlet?

[eq72521lty]

I don't know for sure - obviously it's a 7fhr with maybe some res all and prolly some str.

PS - WTF is up with ele gc's prices on east? I can't seem to buy any for less than a hr per plain. That sucks!

Heres my baby ^_^ (sorry about the double post, it doesnt let you post too many images in one post ><)

Nice gear, but I don't agree with some of them.

1) The circlet is very weak, get a much better one. A decent pelt would be even better. Your damage is seriously low (under 6k 0.o). Also, why 1.08 Valk on a Druid? Pretty much pointless imo. Some people say that the amu and pelt define your druid, and in your cases both are lacking ;/

2) Oh and some of the other stuff looks like you took it off an ES soso, lol. If I were you, I'd concentrate more on STR/DEX from rare items than life/mana.

3) Ditch Spirit Sword

4) A very nice belt, but I'd use arach instead. Especially because you've got such low damage.

5) The amulet is lacking. Get one with 19% or 20%FCR.

[Syntax_Errors]

Very Impressive!

All of the gear in stash is just for alternate setups but the main setup that i use is a 163//174 24 DR Setup.

1) The circlet is considered one of the best druid helms in the game because of the many things you can do with it (BerBer JahJah ShaelShael etc). As for the damage, this druid is made for team pk and anything over 6k is overkill =/ and for the 08 valk i just have that in there to use against casters or druids because of the frw which helps you walk them much easier.

2) Why concentrate on STR and DEX when I dont need it? This character can use a spirit//ss with base str (All Vita) and as for dex, its not max block so why would i need dex o.o and im sure you know how much 56 life will add to a druid after bo and oak (Around 200?) so the more life, the better =)

3) Like I said its an alternative and I use it instead of Hoto when i dont need the res

4) Dont really need arach because I hit the fcr bps without it + I have alot more life with it and like I said, damage isn't the main priority on a team pk druid.

5) I hit all the bps without a 18 fcr ammy and the life and mana is a big + (I got an 2 druid 18 fcr 15 mana ammy in stash just in case).

All valid points, but I still disagree. I presume you only play versus casters, so constantly have 163%FCR? I see where you are coming from but I built my druid very differently (look on page one). Namely, I have max DR% set (vs smiters and other druids), max block set (vs barbs and bowzons) and 163%FCR set (vs sorcs, hammerdins and bone necs). So here we go:

1. Sorry, but the circlet outright sucks, especially if you are using it constantly. Get a rare one with +2 druid 20%FCR +mods and 2 sockets, which according to the rest of your gear, you should easily be able to afford. For example, I use a simple +2 Druid 20%FCR +20 life socketed with 7%FHR/+8DEX/+9STR jewel. Putting Bers into that circlet of yours would be a serious waste of HRs.

1.08 Valk is pretty much useless on a Wind Druid, as is FRW%. Your damage is way too low, even for simple team duels. Even when I have my 163%FCR gear on, I have over 7k damage, which is extremely helpful vs any caster, and far from an overkill.

2. Good point, you should concentrate on life if you are full vit. My druid has 140 base dex and has max block with SS at level 96 (need a hell of a load of dex).

3. Ditch Spirit Sword, it's useless, especially in team duels. HOTO is better in every single aspect, except for FHR%, but as long as you stick to over 99%FHR you will be fine. Trust me, I used to use it as well, and it seriously is bad.

4. Fair enough.

5. Still a 19%+FCR amu is much nicer if you are going for max block, or full DR%, etc. I know that your druid is for tvts, but you are seriously underpowered in dvd, or basically any 1on1. You should definately have a full dr% set (I use Storm Ber, and that is the best way of achieving it, imo). Max block is an option, but I am mainly a solo dueler so I'm very fond of it.

[RaZzor]

Very nice equipment, especally the .08 valk and bugged magefist ;D

[snoboy]

wow frater do you know even what a team pk or how to build a druid?? you have to be one of the stupidest mtoehr ****ers i have ever seen, valk is useless rofl, dmg is priority LOL, his circlet sucks?? LMFAO, hoto>spirit?? lolololol depends on the build buddy and you obviously cant read >.<. damn learn how to build a druid before you comment on other frater. a) your durid sucks monkey balls b) infected is a team pker and dmg is not priority c) infected would rape your ass in a duel anyday d) YOU KNOW ****ING NOTHING ABOUT A DRUID UNINSTALL YOUR DIABLO2 THROW YOUR DISC OUT THE WINDOW AND QUIT.

You really are one dumb mother****er. I never said that his druid sucked, I just prefer building mine differently. Out of your retarded flame, you still couldn't give one reason for why his druid was better than mine. You are just another one of those "OMG I LIEK PWN U ZI NUB!!11!1!" morons who talk trash and can't back anything up.

So, go and light your ass on fire, ****ing tard.

edit: by the way, it's called TvT (team versus team), team duels, but not team pk you ****ing moron.
