uhm would this work

can you use curses in wereform?

anyway use the glitch for more AR and enchant yourself for even more AR
(see you don't need Angelic's ^_^)

a 4 sheal griswold caddy gives 120 IAS wich is enough for a nice 3-4 frame attack (I think)

the sheal in the stormshield is for faster block

anyway would this work in hell (or PvP)

According to the latest replies in MM's melee-mancer thread, the p.dagger bug doesn't work any longer.

As far as I can remember, your blockspeed does not change when in bear-form, therefor putting a shael in your SS would only reduce your blockspeed by one frame (from 7 to 6). I'll leave it up to you to decide if that is worth it or not.

Since I don't have the wealth for a Beast, I can't tell if curses can be casted from it. I have my doubts... If they can, you may want to invest some more in the curses to add some damage, because it will probably be quite low as it is now.

It looks interesting and expensive, but may require some tweaking.

I think that if you plan on using Poison Dagger, you might want to invest in it's synergies. You can't use any non-passive skills in Wereform other than the Druid's Armegeddon and Summons, so transforming into a Werebear limits you to casting before shifting, and then unshifting for to cast again... I think that would be inconvenient.

On the Wereform calculator, I am getting a 5 FPA attack, and 7 FBR with this set-up.

I am making a Meleemancer at the moment, and one of my biggest concerns is Attack Rating. :lol: I would use Demon Limb, but I've tried that before and it just gets very annoying in PvM, as you'll be repairing an recasting Enchant every so often and it's gonna cost a fortune.

I'm not sure how mine is going to turn out in Hell, as I'm still in the early stages of Normal, but I'm definately sure this build can only PvP against other fun builds. I don't see a Meleemancer getting very far in PvP. :(

No. You'll need to be shifting back and forth in order to cast. You can have BA active while in Bear form.

You can use the Enchant. You'll need Angelics.

According to this (http://students.washington.edu/akrinke/wereformadvanced.html) your attack will be 5 FPA in Bear mode and you are wasting 15 IAS. You'll hit 11 FPA in Necro mode.

Depends on your definition of well. You can clear out Baal and beat the game. You can do it reasonably well if you are a bit careful about how you play. I find them interesting to play because of the tactical element this underpowered char has.
Forget about PvP, your AR and Damage will be too pathetic.
