What to do with Aldurs?

[yiuman]

Damage seems to low for physical melee, weapon speed seems to slow for fire claws, and there is no fcr for casting!

I really want to use this set, but can't think how, please help!

Hmmm... Lets see. Here are a few suggestions.

1) Email Blizzard let them know what a great set you think Aldur's is, at the end of your email mention that you love this set on your Paladin but can't figure out why you can't wear the helm... what am I doing wrong Blizzard? (sarcasm) Maybe they will get the hint.

2) Read the many post before yours asking the same question and conclude that not even Albert Einstein would known the answer to this one.

3) Create an OT post with the question what would you do with the Aldur's set and see what hilarious suggestions people come up with.

4) Wear the set go into public games and wait for people to respond with "Nice orange color druid". Then respond with atleast its not green.

Seriously.

I think a wind druid is the way to go, because of the high physical damage possible with tornado, the cold damage from hurricane and the elemental protection from cyclone armor.

10 elemental grand charms and the plus skills from the set will boost those skills to acceptable levels.

Leaves the amulet and ring spots open for faster cast rate, plus skills etc. The sockets in weapon and helm can be filled with life, like Io runes or prubys.

Many options for the belt depending on what you lack, dr, mana, str etc. Also with the shield there are many options.

You can even go with pets by not maxing all synergies.

Actually, Fireclaws with eventually Armageddon thrown in the mix is the best build I could come up with for the set. Triple Shael Aldurs mace hits 8fpa, slow compared to 6 shael phase but ok for PvM as far as I was concerned. The massive stats boni of the set allow for 75 base strength minus whatever you get from rings, ammus and charms and very little dex needed for maxblock thus getting somehow high life even without massive investment into lycanthropy.

The build I had worked fine until he got killed at lvl 77 by FELE madawc where I had forgotten to swap my str for my res ammu :)

methinks melee mentalist is an excellent way to use this set. You might want to look up the old 1.09 guide for it.

Made a windy with mine. Plus skills mean you can have a few friends to play with. I like my bears and birdies.
