[Azalin]

I have maxed out Werewolf, Lyc, and Fury all 3 with 28

On the animals I have

7- Ravens, Spirits, vines, and grizzly
8 - Dire Wolf
11- Spirit Wolf

and 15 skills I can take

My stats are

217
116
196
56

and I have 25 stat points to take.

Any advice will be most good.

You need to get yourself a spirit.
1. If you are having trouble staying alive because of low life, put all of your skill points in Oak Sage.
2. If you want to kill stuff faster, put all of your skill points in Heart of the Wolverine. (plus 1 in Oak Sage for the pre-requisite.

For stats, put the rest in Vitality. Strength and Dexterity should be kept to a minimum based on what your weapon/armor require.

I have 7 points in the spirits. They are worthless in hell as they die right away.

I have near 1900 in health now and damage is 4677 and that is without spirits or my barb buddy war cries. My AR is a little under 10k without spirits or cries as well.

So I thank you for the opinion on spirits but they don't seem to help with 7 points in them I don't think putting in more will make that even better.

Vitality I can see that for more health. My equipment is set and will not be changed. I wear the IK set and Jalal's Mane. I might have to change my jewelry but at this time its not feasible.

I was going to put the skills in my Spirit wolf because it gives AR and Defense bonuses. But defense isn't to much of a matter since if it dies I can recast it. Dire wolf gives it health, but then again.. recast it. Grizzly gives it damage which is making me lead this way, but without AR it will miss.

So I will have to see what others think as well.

My Oak Sage dies like once an hour if that much, it's all about positioning. If you just run in like Rambo the spirit does the same but if you employ a little tact and hang back to draw a few monsters at a time your spirit should barely ever die.

[Verashiden]

I agree with Jinchuu. Don't run into the middle of a mob and start swinging. Instead, start with the outside of the group and fight them first, stepping back a bit when the others try to engage. If you do that your spirit won't die nearly as much.

I have to admit.. That is the first thing that Baal kills.. So making Heart would be best? Love doing more damage than having the extra life... Only 81 btw.

So you are both saying pick a spirit over doing wolf/grizzly upgrades?

I never make a druid without a spirit.
Heart of Wolverine is better at surviving than Oak, and putting lots of points (and 15 is a lot) into it makes it survive even better. The extra damage and AR will help you, your pets, your merc, your barbarian friend, and his merc. Since your barb friend has Battle Orders, you should be fine with life (so don't max Oak).

If you maxed grizzly instead, I still don't think the bear's damage would be that noticeable alongside you and the Barb. So I wouldn't max Grizzly.

It's widely acknowledged that the passive bonus from spirit wolves isn't worth the investment, so skip Spirit Wolves.

Spirit of the Barbs sucks.

So then it's down to HoW or Dire Wolves. And my vote would be for HoW since it helps everyone in the party.

[Verashiden]

Depends. If you want a great tank to fight with you max Dire Wolf. If you want something that'; amplify your own abilities get a Spirit.

7- Ravens, Spirits, vines, and grizzly
8 - Dire Wolf
11- Spirit Wolf

Those are the number in the skills right now...

I have 15 more to take.. So your saying put the 15 in HoW (which will make it 22 level) Still only 81 level.

With my stat points just keep maxing out Vitality? I'm hitting pretty easy with the dex I have now.

do like 7 in dire wolf
and 8 in HoW (which will make it 15)

[Verashiden]

You could if you want a balance.
