Flaming Rabies SS for PvM question

[batuchka]

Hi all! I have read Kaz's excellent Flaming- Rabies guide and his guide is more PvP orientated :P I have more or less gathered equipment for this build but want to have PvM fun hehe. Just wish to ask others who have taken this build all the way in PvM :D

Skills:
Max Fireclaws
Max Firestorm
Max Rabies
Max Lyncantrophy (life/duration)
As many into Oak
1 pt Shockwave

Gear :
4*shael + 2*ar/ias pb
'Stone' Archon/Dusk (synergy to fireclaws/def/clay golem)
angelic ammy
angelic ring (ar/life/dtm)
carrion ring (synergy to rabies)
trang gloves (+rabies dmg)
trang belt (life/cbf)
Jalals
IK/Aldurs boots? (top r/w, dtm with aldurs or ar with IK)
Stormshield
on switch : Fleshrender + Spirit Mon/Lidless for prebuff (depends on str) or
maybe Ondal's/Mang Song?
gathering SS GCs

Merc : Act 2 Prayer
Weapon : 'Insight' in elite polearm
Helm : Tal/Crown Of Theives
Armor : Duriels

Now is my skill/gear set up ok? This is just planning stage and have not build him yet so any input in much appreciated :D Also since i am whacking baddies with fireclaws (bear) or rabies (wolf) i dun do any physical dmg so no leech. This is the reason why i selected a prayer merc as Mediation aura from Insight would synergise with prayer aura giving me life and mana replenish hehe. I like shockwave and once i infect baddies with rabies i'd shock them while sinking my paws in bear mode with fireclaws :P Thanks to any input in advance!

As long as you have max resists you should do fine in hell.

You can use fireclaws in wolfform i think........

Thks all for your inputs :D Yes i could go all out werewolf but thought i'd have fun with the shapeshifting routine by being able to play wolf or bear hehe. Hmm ya would have to take care of resists ^^

IMO rabies performs very poorly in pvm. But thats just what i thought, anyone like to disprove this?
