Can someone tell me a good PvM werebear fireclaws build

[DemonOfLife]

Okay it has been awhile since I have played Diablo 2 but now that I have started again I wanted to start with something new. I have made the same old Hammerdin, Sorc, WW Barb for the past 2 or 3 ladder resets and I'm looking to build a character I have never tried, and that character is a Druid.

I have heard that werebear druids suck no matter what skill you use but then I also hear that fireclaw werebears are monsters and can tank through almost anything. So if you know a build please tell me.


If you could list:

Skills
Stats
Gear

I would appreciate it. :yes:

Last time I played from a ladder reset it was with a fireclaws bear, it is certainly very doable and a very good build that doesn't take that much funds to play. At least it gets powerful once you manage to trade for all those shael runes that you will need for your weapon. It's backdraw is that it is a single element build without teleport which is a backdraw when mfing. But in party baal runs it is very nice, if you use shockwave you will be popular among your less tankish party members as baals minions are a whole lot less scary when they are stunned from the moment they are spawned until they are dead.

There are several ways to build a fireclaws bear, and I suggest you look in the stickies as I am quite sure there is a guide there.
