One final question before my druid is completed

[SPIDERfrank]

My druid is a level 90 pure Fury PvM wolf with 19 unused skill points. So far, I have maxed Lycanthropy, Werewolf, Fury, and Oak Sage. Feral Rage is on left click and Fury on right.

My question is what should I do with the rest of my skill points?

- I've pretty much rejected the idea of Cyclone Armor. I don't think it will really help at all.

- Heart of The Wolverine sounds like a good choice since I could use it as an alternative spirit incase I'm Baaling with another Druid or melee characters who would like a damage boost. BTW how much boost will I get with a level 20x HoW?

- Dire Wolves final choice for controlling the crowd; although I say "controlling the crowd" but in reality I tear sh*t up so fast I don't know if I'd ever need them.

Just looking for suggestions.


If you need to know, my gear setup is as follows:
Jalals (um)
Fortitude
Drac's
Gores
Dungos
Angelic ammy/ring
Ravenfrost
Eth botd GP

Some sort of creeper could be fun to have along with you...

Ive done the oak and HoW route way back in the days. HoW did all right when others had oak out. But at the same time when you have 2 oak sages out. Its like if one dies you still have the plus to life going. Its a preatty much guarrintee type of thing. You could also add to like hunger but its not a big deal because your not using a greif phase. Dire wolves wont control the crouds as well as you think. Because the only way they work if you max out spirit wolves, and the bear. Basicly doing a full all out summoner build. With the items to back it up. So no dont do that as well. You could go with a vine that adds to your life or mana. That might actly be a good ideal.

Armogeddon for style points? :undecided:

I disagree, Puma. With only 20 points into Summoning Wolves won't be killers. However, a lvl 20 Dire Wolf can tank quite a bit of damage before dying. That could mean the difference between dealing with three enemies at once and dealing with seven +.

Carrion Vine and Solar Creeper are one point wonders. Adding more points is a waste.

I would put 19 into Dire wolves and 1 into bear for the boss tank.
