I wont make your druid for you..

What kind of druid do you want to make ?
The most obvious choices are windys/furyrabies/purefury/fcbear
take you're pick and someone will gladly help you.

i was thinking of making an elemental type.. with hurricane to armageddon.
i just dont know how to apply to stat and skill points properly to make a really good character.

your question is too general. You need to use the search function and look through the various guides in this forum under windy, fury rabies, etc, find out which skills boost each other, is your goal pvm or pvp and so on. Go back 20 pages on this forum and read all you can...

If you want an "elemental" type you're choices are either a windy druid or fire druid.

A windy focuses on tornado (physical damage) with hurricane (cold damage) while a fire druid is mainly fire damage with a few skills having a limited amount of physical damage added to it.

Do a search on this forum for windy or fire druid and you'll find alot of info.

If you want to melee with one of these spells, a wolf can cast armegeddon in wolf form but trying to maximize that skill and be efficient(sp?) in melee combat isnt easy, or even viable.

Hmm if i were untwinked and starting out like you i would choose a fireclaw/mauler or fireclaws/hunger bear featuring lots of crushing blow for fire immunes :P Welcome back :laugh:

I would prolly make a Fury/Fireclaw/Rabies/Hunger hygrid... basically you put 5 points in ever skill, use Grief and hope to god somehow it adds up lol. I'm in the process of writing a guide for it... be prepared to flame me in 2 days ><

A windy druid is gonna shoot wind attacks.... whereas a fire druid will do fire... give it a lil' time to sink in >< LOL

hey everyone. ive decided on a windy druid and am thinking of putting the stat and skill points as follows:

skills
****
hurricane=20
tornado=20
twister=20
cyclone armor=20
oak sage=20
then the rest in prerequisites

stats
****
strength=80 (or as much as i need for equipment)
dex= base
vit=everything else
eng=base

sound decent? i am currently a level 23, and was wondering how i could level up the fastest. thanks

Yeah, that's an ok build. You may want to consider:
- Taking Grizzly instead of Oak Sage, especially if you plan to play PvM.
- Go for max block (increase dexterity) instead of vita (max vitality).

Both changes are based on my personal preference, but I'm sure others would disagree.
