need summon advice

[vrot]

I've read that dire wolves and grizzlies have trouble hitting unless spirit wolves are maxed. I've got currently got 11 hard points in spirit wolves and maxed HOW. Should I keep adding points to spirit wolves? this is pvm, but I intend to hang out in high level areas

I would kind of like to spend the points on cyclone armour, partly to increase the duration of hurricane, for chilling and hit recovery in monsters

any feedback would be appreciated

No, IMO points in Spirit Wolves are not necessary (just 1 pt as prerequisite). max Grizzly, DW and HoW will do enough.

Apart from that you can go the following routes:
- Hunter: put rest of points in Poison Creeper and Ravens, use bow
- Shockwave bear: 20 pts in Lycanthropy, 1 pt in Maul, Hunger and Shockwave
- Your suggestion: 20 Cyclone, rest in Hurricane

What kind of build are you? Hurricane won't force hit recovery on monsters unless synergized >.>.

Also, I don't really notice my Wolves missing to often and I normally only put five points into Spirit Wolf.

Thanks for the feedback. I won’t be adding more points to spirit wolf.
But I’ll try not to regret the points I’ve spent, ar and def can’t be bad

My build is a hunter, using harmony for the valk. I get ar from HOW, dual anglics and sigon helm with gloves. Razortail for pierce
I’m also doing a bit of MFing with this druid, so I wear sigon boots for mf bonus and angelic armour for mf bonus on the rings. I’ll topaz the helm and armour. Very cheap and fun (and fast with vigor). I haven’t completed my (might) merc equip yet. I want to keep it cheap as an experiment, so I might just use what I find
