Hey im new to d2 and i want to make a druid but im HC so pvp isnt really what im looking for i looked at the guides and cant decide what i want to build im kinda leaning away from a werebear and i currently have a level 4 werewolf haha any help would be nice

[Verashiden]

Depends on what you want to do. You wanna be melee, caster, bow user? Do you want summons as backup, go solo, have a small army with you? And do you want sometihng that can get through untwinked?

[BoneThugsNHarmony]

yes to untwinked and not too fond of bows so other than that im open to suggestions

[Verashiden]

Safety or Damage?

[BoneThugsNHarmony]

both? haha i play Hc so a "glass cannon" probably wouldnt work but tips on both would be nice

[Verashiden]

Eh lemme reword, crowd control or no?

[Venom]

ferial/fury for werewolf (hunger works great)

alot of life... alot of lifeleech... with right gear can do ubers

[BoneThugsNHarmony]

and veras i dont know what im looking for exactly but like i said im HC so pvp is pretty much out if that answers your question

venom whats ferial mean? and i need al il more in depth than that im still new to this

[Verashiden]

Mmm well you can either go Fury/Hybrid Wolf or a sort of Werebear.

If you're playing untwinked I'd HIGHLY recommend a Fire Claw Shockbear. SSoG has Guardianed a few of them untwinked and the sheer power of Shock Wave cannot be ignored. It's by far one of the safer builds for a druid.

You could also try a Pure Fury Wolf. However, unless you find some sort of hard hitting, decently fast weapon you'll be at a snails pace in Hell.

FC Shockbear only needs a six soc weapon and a fistful of Shaels to be effective.

EDIT - "Ferial" Is referring to the Feral Rage Werewolf Skill.

oh right now i have a level 21 werewolf and was gonna do feral rage and i just got an aldurs weapon with 3 pskulls in it
do you recommend oak sage or heart of wolverine?

[Verashiden]

Oak Sage. Survivability > all in HC. Also, three PSkulls?! Someone liked a lot of leech >.>

[BoneThugsNHarmony]

i didnt put them in there i got it for free like that oh and im level 40 now

[BoneThugsNHarmony]

he just died due to the retarded windows key while i was baaling i was pretty pissed haha

[Verashiden]

Ew, that's gotta suck. My Hunter bit it from lag Beetle swarm. Server didn't disconnect after I alt + F4. I was sad :(.
