Flaming Rabies Question

[Redman681]

I was wondering if it would be easier to get into wolf form, hit once with rabies, then stay in wolf form to use fireclaw. I haven't tried dueling yet so I really have no idea if it would be better, but I was just wondering. If it isn't, how do I spare enough time to shift from wolf to bear during a duel? Thanks for you input.

Anyone? I'm really having a hard time dueling cuz I'm not sure when to shift and how to get away so I can shift

hmmmm there is a guide i havent read it ... but i would assume bite ... rune ... deshift .... shift ... attack. However i dont think there would be that much of a difference if you just bite then attack w/ a fast weapon on the wolf. Granted you will be attacking one frame slower ... however you will be gettin higher ar .. its kind of a trade off. Try wolf mode and see how you like it ... I think the bite then deshift reshift into bear is going more towards vs. casters ... i could be wrong though...

I prefer stayin in wolf form because i tend to hit a lot faster thus do more damage... but if you need the life and defence bonus.. the bear is your choice.

Does any1 know what helm is better for a flaming rabies cerebus or jalas? Jalas would help out my fire claw too but it lacks the attack rating,life leech and open wounds... input would be greatly appreciated

it says in the guide and in the thread like 100 times.
rabies then fireclaws. if you see a good opportunity to shift in a bear, you do so. if not, you are not FORCED to, nor HAVE to. but shifting into a bear have greater advantages. faster fireclaws attack, more defense, more life.

edit: use jalas if you feel you lack resists, if not, go for cerebus, more ar, and open wounds is real nice to have.
