Best Druid for 8-player Chaos runs

[xNamastex]

Tired of Hammerdin lead Chaos runs and Baal runs. The only Druid I ever made was a Mauler Werebear and he was not suitable.

What would be best druid build, mainly for 8-player Hell Chaos runs?

[MaxMax]

Windy, no doubt windy

A windy will be able to kill all enemy's in Cs. And with a decent amount of +skills, will be able to do it as fast as a Hammerdin.

A pure fury could, but run away crying when you get IM on you.

[xNamastex]

Thanks for quick response. Windys still OK even with 8-players?

[superjayson]

if you have all the best gear for it, yup.

[xNamastex]

How about:

Enigma (2)
Shako (2)
Arach (1)
HOTO (3)
Spirit (2)
Ammy (3)
1xSOJ (1)
Anni (1)
Torch (3)
Skillers (2)

Total = 20 (+1 with CTA on switch)

Does FCR impact at all?

[bogie]

Yeah, fcr is important, especially for being able to tele through mobs so fast that you cant get hit..and for spamming nados. But with a spirit, hoto, arach, and a trang glove/magefist, you should easily break the 99% fcr bp, and the 163% is a bit outta reach unless you swap the shako for a 20% fcr circlet and grab a fcr ammy.

i'd say windy as well...IM is just too annoying

[Leohappy]

you can do 8player cs runs with a windy but it will take a while, particularly because you're doing physical dmg and diablo has 45% dr, 50% block and 50% cold resist which means all your attack damage will be cut down heavily

there is hardly any alternative as far as druid is concerned however
check light sorc or javazon if you want a powerful cs runner alternative

merc w/ reaper's toll or high cb would help smash D

Puma's guide...

What is Puma's guide and where would I find it?

[zeiris]

google it - I ran into something about a fury wolf that uses a grief PB, since it's the only weapon that you can hunger+lifetap and not take damage with... whereas all others you do take damage? Eh?
