Please help with my driud

[JyroJyro]

Ok i need help with my druid right now he is lv 40 and i want to beat hell difficulty with him
solo.So far he is pure rabies there's no way i can get poison high enough to do hell as a pure
poison so i think ill change him to a hybrid ill name the best combos i could come up with
and there pros/cons and dont laugh to hard at them.( ya my items suck any items i dont
mention ill fill with rares or magic)

Stats so far: Lv 40

Max rabies
Max poison creeper
Lv 1 werewolf
Lv 1 lycanthropy
Lv 1 Feral rage


First idea my caster gear

Ok this idea is the oddest one so i put it first but i say it could work (never had a melee in hell)
It uses a sheal'ed wiz spike and a spirit shield with jalal's helm with a 15% attack speed jewel
(dont know the break points of a wolf with a dagger wiz is a -20 base with druids) i may not need
it so here's this basics.

Target lv 78 with hell den completed

Max rabies
Max poison creeper
Max Fire claw
Max Fire storm

Items:

Jalal's helm
Skin or the viper magi (20% res)
Wiz spike
Spirit shield
Rare amulet (1 to Shape shifting 54 fire res 19 psn,cld,lght res)
Trangs gloves
Blade buckle (belt)
Pros/Cons

Well I you told my items were bad but o well this build does give me max res in hell and this is the
only set up that will pull that off.It also has the highest rabies and fire claw damage i can get
at 9679-10105 poison before trang and 2327-2384 fire from fire claw this set up should also
have my fastest attack speed.On the down side i will have horrible leach and defence
when it comes to taking hits. Even with max res and 115% hit recovery (30 belt 30 Jalal
55 spirit shield) I may die to fast to do any thing.

Second idea the polearm

This idea i tried to us my best melee item The Reaper's Toll unique Thresher i think this could be
my best option as it is a good weapon.But i will come up short in some area and i dont have the
items to fix the weak points.

Target lv 73

Max rabies
Max poison creeper
Max fury
10 werewolf/lycanthropy

Items:
Jalal's helm
Reaper's Toll (with amn in it 21% life leach)
crafted gloves (10% crushing blow 3% life leach)
Goblin toe (25% crushing blow)
Rattlecage (25% crushing blow)
nightsmoke (much needed 10% to all res)
Rare amulent (same as before)

This will have the highest melee damage of the three i dont know how much i will do so ill use my merc's
damage (Thresher is currently on my strafers merc) of about 1k-2k when decrepify goes of 1.5-3k.This
is heavly rounded i may do more or less but ill go with this so far.This set up has some very nice leach
at 67% life leach while using feral rage.The poison is a let down with no trang but i tried to make it up with
crushing blow. The bigest and most likley down fall of the build will be the 95% chance to get hit no shield
and low armor.I may end up dead any time decrepify doesnt activate in large fights.This one also has horrible
res with 3 negitives in hell there may be no way to go past glooms.

Number three the lame set

Ok here is the worst high lv set full aldurs but it will come up the most balanced of the 3 but i dont know if
balance would win hell over.I would use full alders with spirit shield and some of the items from the two builds.
With this one i decided to be more creative with my skill choices.

Target 83 with hell den completed

Max rabies
Max poison creeper
Max Lyconthropy
Lv 13 Armagedon
Lv 8 firestorm

Items:

Full Aldurs
Spirit shield
trang gloves
blade buckle
rare amulent(Same one its all I've got for that spot)

This build is more of wish full thinking for skills just apply one of the other two but i will discuss it as written.First
thing u may notice is the very odd lv on armagedom and firestorm. Well using a skill calculator with full gear that
nets me the highest damage synergy to armagerdon at 865-1067. Combined with rabies doing 8848-9262 i hope
ill have enough aoe (area or effect) damage to deal with any group not immune to me.With aldurs doing nice
damage when the set is complete (210-325) 1 point into fury may clean up any left overs. This combo also has
good res with none going into the negitive .

Well thats all i could come up with for the items i have.If any of u could think of somthing that could help and the first guy to
say ebotd or bramble needs a 1 day ban if i could have that i would have it. All the items stated i own minus the Jahlals helm
I should be able to trade my um for it soon. Also only thing i have thats decent for trade is full nats minus the claw and bartucs.

So any ideas on what i should do?
First time hope i post it right

My god someone help this man. He is trying to play a druid like Blizz wanted; unsuccessfully. I would help, but I don't play anymore. *pokes david* do something!

Only advice I can give is check out some druid guides, they should be in a sticky somewhere here. They have all the info you could ever want.

[HaLoPhReAk]

I would suggest just rebuilding (here comes the waterworks), and spend time either making or finding a build, before doing it, then follow through, but not 1/2 way.

[omgitsmeta]

I think the build can still be saved if you max Fury and split the rest of the points between Lycanthropy, Oak and Werewolf. I'd suggest using a Grief weapon on switch though (Rabies mode) and Reaper's(or BotD or Last Wish) on Fury mode. For armor Rattlecage would be nice for the added damage, but you might consider Bramble for a good increase in poison damage.

BTW you haven't talked much about Feral Rage, you ARE using it to speed up before using Rabies, right? :D

For helm either Cerebus or Jalal's will do, btw. ;)

[JyroJyro]

I think ill go with your idea omgitsmeta didnt think of grief i might be able to trade for a mal but Lo is likley out of my price range. But i dont see why you would put any more than 1 point in oak sage.Since lycanthropy and oak sage give 5% per lv so i geuss ill go.

Max fury
Max Lycanthropy
Max rabies
Max poison creeper
1 oak sage
Rest into werewolf

Reaper would be my main fury ill have to find a pleague bearer for now when using rabies.Can some one please make a new rabies guide all of the detailed ones.Still use charge glitches for rabies.

Sorry HaLoPhReAk but there are no guides to follow that are up to date so you could make one if u know what would work on a PvM rabies druid. Since
in hell i dont think poison could do it alone with the carrion ring bug gone. If you can solo hell with just rabies than thats great but i havnt seen it done. yet.

Hope i put this in the write spot

[omgitsmeta]

It didn't change much now, I guess. You only have to add 20 points in Creeper now. BTW I had forgot about the Plague Bearer: go with it if you happen to find it.

Also Shapeshift skiller charms are your friends. :D
