This is my 2nd type of druid I'm attempting to make. I <3 my windy and wanted to try a melee druid after making my Zealer. I'm in process of making a Rabies/Fury Druid. (Lvl 83 atm but I stopped after looking at my stats/skills)
Skills
I started with maxing Rabies and Fury. Then I maxed Poison Creeper and Oak Sage. Put 1 point into Cyclone Armor. Now I'm adding points to Lycanthropy. Sud I have maxed Lycanthropy and then added on Oak Sage?

Stats and Gear Conflict (I'm hella confused here.)
<<17 Attrib Anni & 19 Attrib Torch>>
I am able to wear Jalas, Bramble, EBOTD, SS(-15/15 Jewel, 136str req), Dungos, Treks(15 Str), Trangs, Bk, Raven(20 Dex).
For ammy, I am looking for 2Druid/str or dex/res/life ammy but haven't found one yet. I'm thinking of using Maras if not. Atm, I'm using plain 30dex ammy for max block beacuse I wanted to plan out my stats first.
BIG Problem-When I switch weapons, my str is at 106(No 30str from EBOTD). So, I can't use a 20/-20 Psn Faceted Monarch that I have. [Haven't found a Death Web yet. There's a big 50 Str Gap. If I pump my 50 Str, then I'll have to socket my SS with smthn else(No big Deal) but that's 50 str.
I wud like to have a lot of options open for my gear. So if I miss EBOTD and Treks, I still want to use SS and other stuff. I also have a MP nigma but I think Bramble is a good armor to use with (FHR/Res/Extra Dmg). If I use Nigma, I am able to use everything(Even switching Treks with Gores)

So, I need to plan this better.
Gear I've planned to use/have (Suggested by guides)
> Jalals (+20Str){Socket with ?}[65 Str Req]
> EBOTD Zerk (+30 all attrib)[101 Str 38 Dex Req]
> Grief PB [25 Str / 136 Dex Req]
> Doomz [111 Str / 48 De Req]
> Stormshield (+30 Str)[133 Str Req with -15/15][156 Str Req if ?? Jewel]
> MP Nigma (+0.75 str/lvl) [55 Str Req]
> Bramble Dusk [77 Str req]
> Dungos [106 Str Req]
> Ravens (+20 dex, +20 dex)
> BK
> Trang Gloves
> Gores [94 Str Req]
> Treks (+15 Str)[91 Str Req]
> Poison Faceted Monarch [156 Str Req]
> Death's Web
> Eth Tomb reaver [93 Dex / 155 Str Req]

My current stats:
38 Str, 80 Dex, 264 Vita {98 Remaining Points} Naked
I still have Hell stats/skills quests to do. So, still some point to spend.
Do I have achieve max Block with each gear setup excluding the caster one (Tomb Reaver) ?
I have 17 attrib anni and 19 attirb torch. So,
74 Str, 116 Dex, 300 Vita
Now wat sud I be adding to wear my gears?
There's a big difference in using bramble/nigma and Ebotd/Grief PB. Every setup has pros and cons but do i really need to worry about using different setups or just go with one?


This post might be long and boring to read but someone out there might be able to help me with this. Thanks in advance.
PS: Took me like 30 mins to post this.

Well, the bad news is that you did screw up a bit. The good news is that it's nothing that'll wreck the build. You should have maxed Lycan first. Oak Sage is bait for the opponent as they always seem to want to kill it. So you're dependency on it is going to hurt a bit if you're not good at quick recasts.

As for the build. My general rule of thumb is to plan enough str to wear my switch gear, then build around that. That way you are able to switch out gear freely instead of having to have a certain combo out at a certain time. i'll edit this post in a second and get my exact stats on my Fury/Rabies Wolf naked to help you out. I think he has 75-80 base str though.

That's all I can really say about this. So gimme a sec to boot up DII and I'll get right back to you.

EDIT - Actually, I have 100 base str. But I'm crazy :) and didn't have near perf gear when I first made the char. So take with a pinch of salt.

Hey, thanks for that info. I'm actually building the Druid on my Single Player with Editor with same exact stats to see how I will do but it might help me a lot if I knew what others' stats are.
I'm thinking of rebuilding it since I'm not gonna max Lycan when I hit 90(that's wat I've planned to lvl to becuz most of my chars are that lvl).
Also,
How much u got in Dex?
Socket Jalas with? Socket SS with?

Both depends on what you need. I socketed my Jalals with Shael since I didn't really need the additional res from Um and didn't use Bfist ofter AND didn't have SS FHR GCs.

SS was Shaeled cus I was cheap.

I had 137 in dex rest int vit.

Necro,

If I was you I would at least trade out treks for gores. It will give your damage, a good boost. I would have also added a highlords wrath as well. I am inturested on how well your amulet is going to do.

Well, I do have Highlords and Gore Riders in my stash. Just the amulet I don't have.
