Advice for my Rabies/Fury Druid

[Are You Rabid]

Hey fellow druid lovers. I've been reading threads from this website ever since I started playing diablo 2 USWest Ladder. Until recently I have come around to actually making an account. So if any of you veterans would take the time to help me out it would be much appreciated.:thumbup:

On to the point, I need help determining which order to max my skills. out of the different options.

Lycanthropy
Oak Sage
Rabies
Fury
Poison Creeper

Also, advice on my pubbie gear. I'm not quite sure which gear to switch around when facing a caster.
Grief Pb
Dusk Bramble
Shael'd Jalals
Shael'd Stormshield
Crafted FHR/Life Belt
Gores
Trangs
Angelics and Ravenfrost

I don't mind any constructive criticism as long as it will help me out.

Grief Pb - Not used, use some sort of 2 hander (Etomb or Ebotd GPA are good)
Dusk Bramble - Enigma
Shael'd Jalals - Um'd Jalal's (Unless FHR problems)
Shael'd Stormshield - Not used
Crafted FHR/Life Belt - Used
Gores - Aldur's or Nat boots (40 FRW and res ftw!)
Trangs - Bloodfist
Angelics and Ravenfrost - Mara's/Metalgrid along with either a ar,life,dex ring/bk and 1 raven frost

I don't mind any constructive criticism as long as it will help me out.

Unless you're slowing leveling through the game it doesn't matter in which order you max the skills but I'll see if I can find a list from an old guide that looked like it was fine.

Here it is!

Rabies
Fury
Poison Creeper
Lycanthropy
Oak

Although you don't need to follow this completely it's just something I would think to work.

As for the caster gear I edited the quote so take a peek. But if you don't need the res or FRW just slap on fort and High-lord's(Usually used vs hdins and necs, although FRW vs both is very nice to have).

Thanks for the real fast reply and advice. I also looked up your guide. Great resource for building my Rabies Druid. Would you recommend any different charms such as maybe 3 FRW or res/lifers?

If you have any room in your stash it might be useful to keep a couple 3 frw/5res scs.
