Looking for advice? !?

[Adaianu Steelwind]

Hey all,

i want to make a Bear/Geddon druid. But I've been playing with and skill planner and just cant seem to decide on how to do this. I Seem to lean towards the hunger style build, to keep him alive and let geddon tear things up. I'm not so concerned with a gear list, but I would love some ideas for skill allocation from the druid community.

(Ideally lets shoot for lvl 85 completion, I rarely go much farther then that anymore)


Thanks in advance!


My idea thus far..
10 lycanthropy
10 werebear (to help boost hunger dmg for leech)
1 Hunger
1 Shockwave

20 armageddon
20 in molten boulder or volcano (dont think it will matter as I can't cast them in bear)

That puts me at lvl 63, so I could max another skill. This is where you come in!

1 point into shockwave, max armageddon, volcano, molten boulder. Hunger isn't going to be that effective unless you use a high damage weapon with a lot of enhanced damage to offset the penalty. I would say the best thing you can do is either A) Also max grizzly bear or B) Use maul but you need a grief or something else that does a lot of damage.

why not fireclaws? seeing as they share the same synergies?

[Stomphoof]

Fireclaws would probebly work best, since it shares synergies with volcano/fissure ect.

Appreciate the suggestions so far, but fireclaws just leaves me helpless throughout a LARGE portion of hell. I will be using hunger, with either Azurewrath or an IK maul + 4 other set parts.

I'm looking for advice on what else to max, with the listed skills to increase effectiveness. I mean, better to max lyc, werebear, or another fire synergy?

But again, appreciate the input. I'm just not a fan of single element characters.

hunger has horrible damage. the only way around this is loading up on elemental damage.

id suggest maxing armageddon and its synergies (or as many as you feel necessary) and put one points across the ss tree including hunger.

[samithedood]

perhaps more point's into werebear for increased damage??
if u have CB u will still be able to do damage against FI and u will do a small amount of physichal if ur using IK or azure parts u will have a decent amount of elemental and physichal damage as well as azure removing undeads immunities. the ar boost from fireclaws will still help ur ar even if it isn't helping ur damage, whereas a low point investment skill may have ar problems.

[superjayson]

werebear wont help.
