Ele Question

[Coldblood]

I plan on going fire elemental spec, 20 in them all, and they all seem to have a cooldown, maknig nothing all that spammable except firestorm to some degree but it has a permentant 4 mana cost.

My question is, i wanna see if the right gear lets me get away with only about 35 or 45 energy, IF thats a good choice, i'm wondering if i should spend points into Dex ... about 100, to give me a good block chance with a SS or a equally good blocking sheild? or should i just dump all of it into sta, i'm thinking about 100 points according to their calc, would give me a 74% chacne to block (using a SS) and thats only 200 health lessened... to give me a 3/4 chance to not take damage.

i'm used to playing a barb and Bow zon, is this a smart way to go?

stats btw at 99 would be

156
125
rest(about 230 if i remember)
35-50

assuming i picked the dex :sunny:

max block is a good idea if you plan on dueling melee or general pvm.

don't put any into nrg. we will get mad.

Yes, with good gear you will not need to worry about energy so don't put points there. As for max block/max life that's up to you but if you go the max block route try to aim for 75 instead of 74. Fire skills do have a cooldown so you might want some FRW that way you can move a bit before being able to tele.

Blocking depends on your Clvl.

A level 99 druid with a non-elded SS would need 150*99/67 + 15 = 237 dex for max block.

You've got the answer to you question right there; "nothing all that spammable." You'll also potentially be wearing Magefists which have a little mana regeneration on them and have you're mana pool boosted from battle orders as well, and Ravenlore even has some + energy on it so you should have more than enough to work with.

I'd also agree with Gluttony, faster run/walk is going to be imperative to this build. It's been the thought of many fire druids that you'll load up on this and run much more than you'll be teleporting. One such tactic is to walk casters and other characters that use namelocks to teleport on top of your character, when appropriate you'll run if not walk after laying a fissure at your feet. When characters teleport on you from a namelock, they'll land in a fissure, and if they move after you they'll move through the fissure which is even more damaging. A good amount of fr/w makes this tactic easier to execute.
