Sorb druid guide?

[Lunarhammer]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there are any sorb guides or if someone knows a build that can inform me if possible. I seen a druid the other the day versing my friend gaining life from his trapper attack, I know pallys have auras for different resistances but idk why he went the druid direction, he also told me that his character is built for all other resistances.

He was using 4 ort armor, ls, jalas, wisps, tgods, treks i think, maras i think, and thats all he showed me. :\

Usually i dont make alot of characters, but with any information on this build, id really appreciate it, thanks.

I don't think theres an absorb guide.
What kind of druid was your friend playing ? Sounds like a wolf (or a windy with no tele). Most likely it looks like he just has specific gear for different elements.

oh i didnt know this person, but he was a wolf.

Like I said this isnt any kind of guide. Sounds like just some fury wolf with equipment for stacking res and some absorb. Pretty common knowledge any build uses.

Did they have cyclone armor on? If so then I can see how they did a artic werewolf. And then put on sorb items to trash that trap sin. Privte message me and I will write one up for you.

you wouldnt want cyclone armor for a sorb build as it blocks the element you are trying to absorb :/ Just make sure your resistances are high and the absorb is high as well. The only reason to stack the resist over 95 (assuming you have +max resist gear ie tgod or waterwalk) is if they have facets/cold mastry or infinity.

edit:cyclone armor has zero resist, it just soaks up some elemental dmg

Duh roxor.. duh.

The greatest things are simple, the less damage they can do the better. To top it off you can only absorb 1 element at a time. And no not by rules of the game wise but simple build wise. Hense forth if your in a pubby and your getting tag teamed by 2 different builds with 2 different elements. Your going to need more protection..... I have done a few absorb builds my self in my days.

well your other post sounded like cyclone helped for sorbing, which it doesnt.

Right and what is so wrong with taking a few hits from a element you cant absorb? So you can have a little bit more time to attack some one who uses a element you can absorb?


Look this tread is a little old for me so lets just drop the debate ok?
