FireClaws Druid

[Hadriel]

Suggested Skills?
WereWolf or WereBear?
I would think werewolf because of the attack speed given by werewolf skill.
Please give me some basic info about this type of build.
Thanks.

actually, a werebear can have a max of 4fpa fireclaws, where werewolves have 5fpa.

however, if you go for werewolf, you have access to rabies which attacks at 4fpa which makes you more versatile. (refer to the guide thread).

if you are interested in fireclaws only, go for werebear fireclaws, (again refer to guide thread).

for suggested skills/gear/stats.... refer to guide thread. :)

I'm sorry but I'm kind of a noob, not a complete noob, I have completed the game several times. But which is better 4fpa or 5fpa?

I don't want to be versatile really, I want to focus just on fireclaws, and get all the synergies possible for that.
Thanks.

fpa: frames per attack.

so ur question of, what is better is... weird.

4fpa is obviously better than 5fpa because you will be attacking a frame faster. however like i said, you can be more versatile if you went for the 5fpa one cause you'll have 2 sources of damage. But i wont get into that discussion cause there is various opinions on a fireclaws bear vs a flaming rabies.

ok since you want to make fireclaws build, go for the fastest attack speed fireclaws can reach... 4fpa. so thats werebear.

check out the fireclaws bear guide.

I told you I was a noob so it's not 'weird' that I didn't understand it. Also I assumed werewolf would be faster because of the +attack speed on the werewolf skill.

Why is it faster for the werebear? Is it only this skill which is faster?

[~Kazama Fury~]

the question was weird because... well i mentionned why just above.
i know you assumed it would be faster for werewolf because of the +attack speed, but in my first reply, ive stated otherwise.

why is it faster for the werebear? i dont know, maybe they (blizzard) wanted to even out the speeds werebear vs werewolf?
werewolf can have 4fpa fury and rabies. (iirc hunger is 4fpa for wolves)
werebear can have 4fpa maul and fireclaws. (hunger is 4fpa also)

feral can be 4fpa on werebarbs.

only skill which is faster? well if you mean by shapeshifts, yeah, maul is also a 4fpa attack from werebear. werewolf has a 4fpa fury but has a slower inital attack, just like zealots (except zealots starts at 8fpa max where werewolves can potentially start 5fpa fury as their initial attack).

edit: added some more 4fpas...
corrected my initial fury attack. vic, stop nubing me.

Bears have a faster base animation.

Thank you very much for the info.
