Need skill placement on fury druid or fury/rabies druid build der=

[kingkoala]

There is no guide in the sticky for either of these... which surprised me. Can anyone just give me a quick list of what to max, etc. And also which is better build for PvP. Thanks

edit, this is 100% for pvp...

20 Lycanthrophy

Fury/Rabies PvP Wolf:
20 Poison Vine
20 Rabies
20 Fury
20 Oak Sage
20 Lycanthrophy

Pure Fury PvP Wolf:
20 Werewolf
20 Fury
20 Oak Sage
20 Heart of Wolverine
20 Lycanthrophy

The best PvP wolves will use Heart of Wolverine. With the right gear you should still be able to hit over 4k life easy.

Also just max one spirit not both, and put 1 in all animal summons, with the possiblity of maxing grizzly with your leftover points.

I really don't know how rabies holds up in PVP but I doubt if its as good as fury. It would certainly have a different style of play.

I've never seen a PvP wolf use grizzly in a duel... For PvP you want both summons one for AR / Damage, and one for Life for certain duels. For a person who has more damage, use oak. For a person who has more life use HoW.

Thats pretty surprising you've never seen anyone use grizzly. For 1 point you can get some nice distraction. A grizzlies smite swing can hit anyone, defense does not matter, even blocking doesnt matter. 5 ravens can also help a lot too.

The only reason you would want Oak is vs a caster, and you are not likely to even hit a good caster anyway. Enigma pretty much ensures this.

PvP wolves are like Zealers, they can really only duel other close range characters effectively, and for that you want damage and AR. More life does very little good in this situation, other then making your defeat a little longer.

That use to be true but if I remember well that changed with 1.1 and if you want distraction you are better of with 3 dire wolves or 5 spirit wolves.

yea grizzly doesnt use smite attack anymore iirc so ... not many use it anymroe.

Making your defeat a little longer gives you more time to claim victory. It's really about preference.

Pretty sure your wrong there, his swing attack still causes knockback. I tested my grizzly in pvp and he seems to hit a lot more then he should. I will have to do some more testing though. I did play in 1.10 and I don't remember smite being gone, but it's been a while so..

Depends on the situation.

I use bolth spirits and it does just fine. I did a pure fury build. This is my set up. And some tricks on beating some of the top dueling classes out there.

20 werewolf
20 lyn
20 fury
20 hotw
(20) got at 15 oak

I use low str needed items and next to no dex.
Then I put every thing I have into vit.
The real trick is hellfire and anni. If theyre both perfect you get 40 to all stats wich is no joke. I use a jalals for the 20 str. I would have done the dracs plus to str but I have found that bloodfists helps out alot some times. Also it gives 40 life so it makes up for the I don't know 10/15 x 2 = 20 - 30 life you will get with the dracs.

cta+spirit sheild for prebuff.

shaftstop with a p ruby it gives you alot more life then 98.
verd belt/string of ears.
2 anglic rings and a amulet.

Then when in stash I keep other items.

perfect fort, you don't need a perfect one but hey I got one soo nana.
Rare belt with str +to pure life and hit recovery. I love that belt I dont even care about other stats like def so ha. trang-ouls belt will work as well if you need cannotbefrozen. I would never use ravenfrosts any more.

Then I keep resist gear

Idealy you want a coh in a low str armor. But right now I use dureils shell with a um rune in it.

Mix that with a resist all belt like credendum.

Weapon wise right now I use a ebotd greater pole axe. Omg that is the best ebotd 2 handed weapon out there. Forget the rest. But if you want the best of the best get a eth tomb reaver with 2x 40/15 ias jewels and a zod.

I use 3 diffent helms all of them are jalals. Just socted diffently um, sheal, and p ruby.


When I duel a melee user I use dr gear as in shaftstop and verd I will mix that with the shealed jalals. If I really need hit revoery I will use bloodfists. But mainly I will use dracs.

When I duel people that use elemental damage I will use resist all gear. If they use cold damage I will switch out the cendeum belt with the trang-ouls.

When I cant resist any damage at all I will just use damage gear.

The fort and the rare belt.

I never switch out rings and amulet.

I also keeps a demonlimb in stash.

hammerdins can be easy to hard matters on if they are a good player or not.

If they are a easy kill they just sit there and spam hammers run in from the south side and kind of wait till you see a opening you will and just run in and attack. Its a easy kill that way.

If they run around and cast 1-3 hammers in one spot and then run to a diffent one. You have to out run them and dodge theyre hammers. It isn't hard to do that just catching up to them. You need to have a higher runwalk then them.

You can preatty much treat most casters like that. Just with diffent spells means diffent gear used. Omg I have 5 warcry barbs ears. They are alot easyer because warcry has a really low range. So all you really have to do is just out range them and even if they do hit you its not going to kill you or even stun you its that sad.

Bow zons you have to out runwalk them. If they get a really far range on you. Your SOOL. Your hight life will protect you tho.

Vindacators You can kill. It is a 50/50 duel tho. Don't let them get you up on a wall or some thing. Theyre smite will win and you will loose. Let them come to you and time your attacks so you hit first. Then its a easy kill. It ends in like 1-2 hits.

Barbs if they have no clue what a good barb is. You will win with this build I am talking about. If they do know how to make a good barb. They will win. Then only thing you could do to kill a good barb is to stand in a corner and wait for them to come to you. As in hold shift and left click fury and hold it on them. A smart barb player will wip out a bow and kill you. with open wounds or just pure damage. When you try this. Others will try to ww from side to side next to you. They cant out range you so you can attack back. The only way is to hope you win.

Note: read the guilds on barbs in the barb forum. Even if you know how to build a ww barb. I meet way I mean way to many people that think they have a good barb. Then they die to any of my melee builds.

Treat ww assassins the same way but you can out range them by sidesteping and sift fury. They have a lower life then barbs any ways so.

Trapers You just have to get close and kill them. If you can't then your SOOL. Smart ones you will loose to any ways.

Hope that helps.

Depends on the situation.
Do you duel a lot in 1.10? Things have changed a lot. Grizzly's no longer ITD. They do still knockback, but that doesn't mean it's smiting. Most situations, spirit (never dire) wolves are much better than a bear (I actually can't think of a situation where bear is better, but there may be one or two).
