Not sure about werebear but it rocks with a werewolf. My first pvm I ever made was a IK Set (excluding the helm) Fury Druid. The elemental dmg helps a lot.
A double sheal'ed one is a fine set and as mentioned the elemental damage is very nice.

what frame is it?
can someone please tell me if it's even worth it? because i play hardcore, and wouldn't want to die because it's not viable on the bear, :(

A pvm ik fury wolf can... solo player 8 hell baal. Own pits. Do it all. 5 fpa fury with huge dmg (w/ +dmg to demons n undead) crushing blow, eleemental dmg, nice resists//ar. I have a lvl 86 one on ladder and hes godly.

but not a bear? use maul and shock wave secondary

By my reckoning it should be 8 frames for Maul with IK. Even with two ed/15 IAS jewels (hence 70 IAS), whether that's viable I'm not sure, never played a Mauler before.
don't like the way the wolf looks really, why i chose bear, and i figured since the set gives huge defense and decent attack rating bonus, could be good for bear. eh, guess i'll remake into wolf, will wait for any more replies on this though, because i don't really want to, heh, thanks though guys, appreciate it
also thought maybe bear would be safer then wolf on hardcore, since fury is multiple attacks in a attack, which could be suicide if iron maiden casted, and bear's maul stuns, and can use shock wave to stun groups, don't know. would i not be doing much damage with maul? could i still solo 8 player games like the wolf can? thanks again fellas

indeed , feral rage is much safer then fury
eh, so nobody is pro for bears on this?
MrGoth, Gandalf? you guys know bears, would this work?

My Werebear druid is wearing the belt, gloves and boots. They work great on him(double leech, IAS, massive life and lots of Strength), but I don't plan to use the weapon or armor.
well, i'm 76, wearing ik's, played around, attack speed is somewhat fast, killing is eh, decent i guess, definately good tank. probably remaking into wolf though, for damage. but have a question on bear, have maul, lycanthropy, werebear, oak sage all maxed, have shapeshifting charms so figured there would be no point in maxing shock wave, stun length is enough for me to take out groups. what should i do? i was thinking of putting a point into summon bear, then rest into dire wolf for life synergy, would be good tank while i maul enemies one by one, eh, suggestions?
Fred, or anyone who's used or uses or knows someone who who does, has, that's used ik's set on ww, what skill points you, they used, and how effective you were pvm? if double shael maul, does ww only require 1 point to hit 7/4? oak or how? thanks again for replies, <3

I maxed out ww, but 1 pnt would be ok with + skills (why wouldnt u max it pvm?)
It hits 9//5 fury iirc, but thats more than enuff for pvm. You would want to dual shael it.
I used ( and still do) full ik set minus helm, jalals, dual ravens, highlords, and lacerator + blackoak luna on switch (for nuff to dex for lacerator)
No good pvm wepaon will hit 7/4 fury, just a side note

I've made both wolf and bear IK users.
Both worked very well, although the wolf was an attempt at combining rabies and fury so he broke when bliz fixed the synergy bug.
I play 95% pvm and have to say that its one of the better setups out there if you don't have top end gear (sort of a ghetto build :D ).
I would recommend pumping werewolf up a bit for the AR boost though (if you make a wolf). I seemed to have serious whiff problems until i got it to about 20 with skills.
I went the standard route of oak for wolf and how for bear. If I could have my 19 extra skill points back from rabies I believe I might max both spirits.
edited to add content.
do people max feral rage? was thinking:
20 werewolf (maxed later)
20 lycanthropy (maxed first)
20 oak sage (maxed second)
20 fury (maxed third)
rest into feral rage?
total of 232 strength including gear, rest into vitality, wear angelic's halo, angelic's wings for attack rating combo, then raven frost for cannot be frozen and decent attack rating bonus, jalal's mane.
