A question

[OmegaHatred]

Could someone plz explain how the Spirit/Dire wolves and Grizzly passive bonus works. Like I know they all get passive bonuses for eachother, but could someone plz clarify what, or plz post a link where it's explained.

Points in:

Spirit wolves= increased defense/attack rating
Dire wolves= increased life
Grizzly= increased damage

A side note: The animal summon synergies work with +skills. At least they worked in 1.10.

So what do you guys think is better for a Windy? and for a Werebear with HoW?

[Good Fer Nothin SOB]

After your main skills are done with I think most people prefer a point in grizzly with leftover points into dire to increase grizzly life, so you have a decent meat shield you can reposition at will.

I've never really had a problem with Grizzly dying - 1 pt in all summons, including Oak, has been plenty to keep it alive against all but the most insane boss packs, for which it still lasts long enough for me to spam a few Shockwaves and recast it.

Points in Grizzly is nice for dam but it needs to be really obscene levels before the damage becomes noticable, so not really worth it I think.

The vines are an interesting place to put leftover points.
