a few fireclaws questions

[Slaughterstubbs]

Before anyone says something, yes i have read the guides. but the guide i found was for PvP and since im not much of a dueler, this guy will be PvM.

well, im venturing into the unknown on my end. i have only made one druid and he was a werewolf that used fury primarily (if i recall)

i decided to go with the fireclaws bear but i have a few questions.

1) would shockwave be suitable (at a low level) as slight crowd control?
2) how to dispatch the pesky fire immunes?
3) what merc to use?
4)should i max all 4 synergies for FC? or go with max 3 and max lycanthropy for life?
5) is a low level oak sage worth anything?
6) is this build actually viable in hell?

Answers:
1) yes it is...with only 1 pt. into it and +skills you get a high enough seconds stun to do enough damage to kill...Mine is a 8 second stun.

2)I usually use volcano and my waheed merc to take care of them.

3) I perfer a norm defense merc with mine...some like a nm defense merc.

4) I like to have as much maxxed damage as I can get...so I maxxed all 4 synergies.

5) It's worth something...and with +skills gets to be good enough...though you might need to recast from time to time.

6) I find it viable enough in hell...between volcano and merc taking care of fire immunes...you can handle everything else decent enough...depending on your equipment.
