1. should i bother with holy freeze merc if i have got maxed hurricane, or should i just go straight for might? what do most of you use for your windie?

2. does any vendor sell those druid-only masks/totems, or do i just have to hope on a good drop?

3. if one of my summons (just the grizzly really) kills a monster, does the game treat its mf drop % as my druid's, or my druid's %+my merc's %? or 0% (since the grizzly doesn't wear any mf eq as far as i know)

But yeah, loving my windie atm. Actually made it into nm act 2, a 5-act improvement on the best of sorks could do :grin: cyclone armour effectively means I have a 500hp buffer on top of my 600life, and watching carvers/flayers spontaneously burst in ice as I run past's can still bring up a grin. Carrion summon gives me a 7% life recovery without needing to getting close to melee, and grizzly is almost as good as another merc that cost 40mana not 10k gold. An nice build for any untwinked noobs, courtesy of xey :wink3:

Cheers

Hey woobe

I've actually never played a Windy Druid before, so I don't know the answers to all your questions.

But in regards to question 3, about the mf. I'd say its pretty safe to say that your bears kills calculate in your druids mf, but not your mercs. It just doesn't make sence, your merc has nothing to do with your bear.

1. The last thing a Windy needs is a Might Merc. Hurricane has a very limited radius, which is significantly smaller than Holy Freeze, so if you like the safety of chilled monsters go with a HF Merc.

2. I believe Elzix in Act 2 did in previous patches, but I'm pretty sure that's changed.

(1) the sole reason my windie died in hell throne room (ombp, so close .tt) was because i used might instead of holy freeze.

(2) you have to hope the hats drop ><

(3) for mf purposes yours is the one used.

Cheers for the advice chaps, now just have to pray my windie have a steady supply of beanburgers to get him to hell throne room :smiley:
