uber fury werewolf

[BigBubba]

Ok, I read somewhee that a fury druid can uber run and i was wonder(since i never used a shapeshifting druid) where to stick stats/skills and what weapons and other gear i will want?

thanks

[Veilside]

the best bet would probably be to make a pure fury druid so maxed lycan, werewolf and fury for a start, a spirit probably isn't a very good idea as they die far too easily so maybe max the vine that restores health?

If you're really building a wolf for only running ubers, then you can do what I did in the same situation:

20 Lycan
20 Werewolf (need AR)
20 Fury
20 Oak
20 Feral Rage
rest into summons (if you level really high...)

This is not, however, an optimal build for PvP; there's no real need for a pumped Feral Rage anywhere except in Uber Trist... and no, it's not pumped for leech, rather it's so you can target a single boss instead of hitting everything within reach.

Go for high resistances + light absorb + crushing blow (>>50%) + ctc life tap with the gear. One problem is that you can't cast life tap from a wand when shifted; I circumvented this problem by just using Fury on the minions until tap triggered from dracs, then switching to Feral Rage for the boss.

so your telling me dont put skills into rabie or the posion creeper, also since i never used a shape shifter do i want double weapons or do i want a shield . and does a double weapon make it hit harder?

also do i put stats on strentng- enough for equipment, mana- none, dex- ?, vit- all the rest, also will i need more on strentgh or no?

yeah its the same for almost any other char. str = enough for equip dex = enough for max block if you go that route. vit = everything else

[BigBubba]

you think i should use 2 weps or a shield or does it matter ?

If I understand your question correctly, druids can wield only one weapon, dual wield is only barbarian/assasin ability

[BigBubba]

o lol man did i make a fool out of myself

Use a Shield you are gonna need it. SS if you can.

[stoutewolf]

not sure...shield means block animation and less damage so less life tap. I would go for a 2 handed weapon. Same risk i think but the mosnters will go down faster :wink3:

Well I would still prefer a shield for resists stacking but SS may not be the best option for that.

tombreaver=50 resist :wink3:

tomb reaver provides All Resistances +30%-50% (leave alone the fact it's one of the best weapons for a Furywolfie)

*edit*
man. damn my slow english typing -_-

*edit2*
me thinks 'Treachery' armour with its +45% ias and ctc lvl 15 fade (allres +60% physres +15%) would be a good addition to a Tomb reaver.

My wolf makes very short work of the ubers..

off weapon ias doesn't effect shifted druid weapon speeds unfortunately.
2 shaeled tomb reaver would work very well, if you have a 3 socket one then add the rune of choice in there.

also would i want to go oak sage for life or would i want the hear of wolverine for more power?

oak for sure :smiley: the life bonus is just way better then the (IMO) pathetic damage bonus and the lil more attack rating (which u wont need cause fury druids have plenty of this already)

[Veilside]

probably be better off without either, they really can't survive hard areas like uber trist and you'd have to keep recasting them.

[superswiss]

hey Rangniheldr what was your druid set up?

[Quietus]

About the Treachery that was suggested earlier - it's not helpful to actually wear it while killing the ubers, but prebuffing the fade will give you damage reduction and resistances - 15% DR and 60% resist all, for three minutes. This can help a LOT, even if it only lasts long enough to rub out Meph, after whom it's doubtful you'll need it.

For actually wearing inside tristram, I'd go for Duress. 15 resist all, extra cold, slight enhanced damage, open wounds, crushing blow, nice defense, fhr... what's not to love?

[superswiss]

well do u really need to stick 20 on the rage because it dont help fury at all or in anyway does it?

[Veilside]

it was mentioned earlier that it's for attacking single targets.

It's also worth noting that feral rage charges up, and the red ball keeps circling for 20 seconds after the last hit you make with it. During this time you can fury and gain the massive life leech it offers - so it's like adding +50-60% life leech to your fury, for the cost of occasionally hitting with feral.

My 95 Pure Fury gets owned in Chaos Trist, although last time i was there i used Phoenix/Stormshield + ebotd Berserker axe.. But thats maybe because i had terrible Block Rate =/

Try to get draculs' lifetap first, and switch damage charms for resist charms =)

Go 2 handed if you are going to pvm...I usually duel though:rolleyes:

The only really hard thing about collecting Izuals organ is the Lifetap that occasionaly is casted. Just make sure rage is charged and you have a source of lifetap, like stoute already mentioned, Draculs.

[MalcolmSex]

whats draculs?

and i already maxed out werewolf and lycan what else?

also what gear? and is oak really needed?

Oak gives a signifigent life boost. Draculs Grasp is a glove that gives you a chance on stricking an enemy to cast lifetap.:grin:

oak isnt really needed cause it will die anyway in uber trist. Use the search button for gear and max out fury atleast

[MalcolmSex]

ok so i got reaver, dracul 7/12 gores, jalal's (thinking bout cerebus) and 298 stat points to spare

gonna get duress but ima need to block so whats highest Def possible?

[superswiss]

Also i still dont see how your able to do ubers if u the things are immune to physical damage!!!

[the boss]

Thats why we got crushing blow..and ds and ow ;)

[GreyGhost]

I think only the vampires in uber-trist are actually physical immune. The rest are immune to almost everything exceptphysical damage.

[remsy]

Why are you even killing the little things?
Go for the bosses immediately. You'll get your leech as the minions swarm you anyway.

And there is absolutely no point to sages as they perish before they can help you in any way.

I think he meant Iron Maiden. Yeah that IM really makes life tough for us melee monsters. The nice thing about the werewolf is it's durability when getting swarmed. I've gotten flooded and managed to claw my way out of the melee. Very hard for other characters to survive that kind of rush (Pallys and Barbs seems to be able to pull it off sometimes). My biggest challenge is to choose what kind of weapon is best for the werewolf. I've gone the shield route which limits my choices, but really makes it hard to get quickly smashed by monsters.

[Flayed One]

something I had no problems with, with my amazon, but I do find frustrating with my fury druid - those wraith/physical immune/ mana burn buggers...;/
The druid won't make a normal attack instead of fury when he has no mana, so when mana burn monsters hit me I have to use 'normal attack' to leech some mana and then use fury again. It gets quite silly after first 50 times...:tongue:

[Kiba]

Im usaully alway's forced too used Feral rage / normal attack when mana leached vs Baal.

[inkanddagger]

Honestly, getting a point into solar creeper is not a bad idea. you only need to one point it, too. I like to take care of meph far off and by himself first - if you use carrion vine, it will sometimes be able to replenish a substantial amount of life for you off the corpses of mephs infinite army of the undead. Then you can swap to solar creeper, and lure diablo and baal along with diablos minions into a spot, and go at them - solar creeper will replenish mana from every corpse that drops, which helps vs baals mana burn. Also, since the vines are hard for monsters to target, they can take a little heat off you by providing a hard to hit distraction.

I prefer eth botdz/um stormshield for ubering - botd has much needed mana leech on it, and you get more light and cold res from the storm than you could from going two handed.

Also - CoH has a lot of useful PvM mods on it. In pvm it's basically fortitude with more resistances.
