Hey everyone,

I'm getting ready to finish up my Fury/Rabies Druid and wanted to know what you thought of my build. Not sure exactly how to distribute my skills to be most effective since Spirits seem to die in PvP. I'll post my gear and hopefully that will help you to guide me. Also not sure on a few pieces of equipment and sockets.

Weapons:

Eth Tomb Reaver Zod, 40/15ias, 15res/15ias
EBotDZ
Griz Caddy (Sockets?) I've heard 3x 40/15s and Lo or Ber
Death's Web (Socket?) thinking 15 res with second mod here or the usual facet
Call to arms on switch

Not sure if I should try and include Grief Pb &/or EBotD GPA I've heard both have their merits for sure, but they would take even more space. Input?

Shields:
Stormshield (Socket?)
JMoD 3x Poison Facet + 15 res other mod jewel?

Helms:
UP'd Jalals (Socket?) thinking 15 res 7 fhr or 20 life?
circlet +2 FRW socketed for max damage and resists hopefully other mods on circ
CoA Ber Ber
CoA Lo Lo worth it?

Armour:
Bramble Archon Plate
Enigma Archon Plate
Fortitude Archon Plate
Duress has my interest here but I can't think of any situation I would choose that over one of my other options.

Gloves:
Not sure here, Trangs claws and bloodfist jump out at me do i need both?

Belts:
Verdungos
Nice crafted str/fhr/life/ow with resists that i traded for :)

Boots:
Again drawing a blank lots of options though, Aldurs, Gores, Shadow Dancers all come to mind as well as nice res pair.

Ammys:
Angelics
Highlords would love to get my hands on an ultra expensive 1.08 HL :D not gonna happen though
+3ss/95+ life
miss any? maybe a rare +2/life/10 frw/res?

rings:
Angelics
Rfrosts
Wisps?
others? rare with stats and life?

charms:
9x +1ss/40+ Lifers
torch & anni
Small charms im clueless lots of good options with 3/20/X life or frw or res/x

Skill wise im thinking,
20 Lycanthropy
20 Rabies
20 Poison Creeper
20 Fury
15+ Werewolf
id like to skip spirits unless theyre better than I think they would be.

2 last ?'s that im curious,

#1. What kind of damage bonus does a druid get for strenght? 1% per str? or 1.1%?
#2. The FHR bps are 99% and 163%? or 173%? or am i off ?

thanks alot for reading everyone. and no im not sure if theres enough room in my stash for all of that lol.
