I'm sure everyone here is sick of elemental druids.
They are a tired archetype that is unbelievably easy to beat. (Yes, even the godliest ones), and unbelievably boring to play.
So, let's make a new archetype.
Fury Druid (Pvp and Pvm!!!)
Equipment:
Gloves: Steelrends
Armor: Coh/Durress
Helm: "CHAM"ed Near Perf Cerebrus Bite
Shield1: "SHAEL"ed Stormshield (trust me you need it)
Weapon1: Good % Eth Death Cleaver or Botd (DC IS A LOT BETTER)
Shield2: Sigons/Lidless/Splendor
Weapon2: CTA, (try to get as good one as you can find, since you don't have much + skills)
Belt: 8/15 String or 40/15 Vendungos (makes little difference)
Rings: 9% carrion (you MUST use), and 5% bk (you can replace if you don't like)
Amulet: Go for a perfect res metalgrid or a highlords.
Boots: Upped Goreriders, there is noooo substitution. Cept maybe perf eth treks.
Charms:
1x Annihilus
4-9 Shimmerings
As many shapeshifting charms with 12% fhr or 30+ life you can find
Skill points:
20 Lycanthropy (max first)
20 Werewolf (max first)
20 Rabies (don't put a single point in poison creeper)
20 Fury (primary skill, start using this after you rabies them once)
20 Heart of Wolverine (max last)
Stat points:
Strength: 120 (your items add a total of around 100 to str)
Dexterity: 150 (You will have a godly amount of attack rating and block)
Vitality: All that's left
Energy: NONE!!!!!
Ok, first of all you might ask, why Rabies? I mean, with no points to devote to Poison Creeper, it might seem like a weak skill... WRONG. Carrion wind is the exact same thing as the marrowalk glitch. It has charges to 21 level poison creeper, effectively maxing out the synergy for rabies. Expect rabies to be around 12k damage over 15 seconds. Formidable as a preemptive attack, then you start furying. You'll have an unbelievably high amount of AR. Because of cerebrus 120% bonus to attack rating. You will also have almost 100% deadly strike, 100% open wounds, and 40% Crushing blow. With fury attack, that equals death.
Siding.
Make sure to have a couple of things in your inv.
Blackoak Luna/2 20 dex ravens/SpiritKeeper for cold attacks, it will save your ***.
Rising Sun/2 dwarf stars will protect you against fire based attacks
And lightsabre/ 2 20% wisps will come to your protection against fohers (even with conviction), trappers, and light sorcs.
I hope you enjoy. The dueling strategy is surprisingly easy. Hunt down chars and kill them. A double rabies against barbs is my suggestion as they are your hardest character to beat. ENJOY!
