I've built a Fury Druid that's coming together nicely, but I'm not sold on what helm or armor to use. His current loadout:

Guillaume's Face w/15%IAS-22 Light Res Jewel
Upped Ribcracker w/Shael
Duress Balrog Skin
String of Ears
Lavagout
Dwarf Star
Angelic Ring
Angelic Ammy
Disciple Boots
Low Druid Torch

I am in the process of trading for/finding Gore Rider's and Dracul's Grasp to replace the boots and gloves, respectively.

I try to use gear that I've found first, to be certain that I'm not using dupes, then gear I've traded for. I avoid anything with a 99% chance of being duped, like high runes and 40/15 jewels. The guides I've read recommend Jalal's Mane (of which I have 2 in storage), and Chains of Armor or Fortitude armor. Since the odds of me finding a Ber or Lo are slim-to-none, is there another armor choice that would be better than my Duress? Also, is Jalal's universally agreed to be superior to Guillaume's?

I'm not saying that I won't try to do the Ubers, but that's not my primary goal. I just like playing PvM for fun, joining other people's games to help w/Anya quest, etc.

I use G. Face mainly as a source of crushing blow on characters that are lacking it. Since you are using a ribcracker which has 50% cb on it already, I'd use the Jalal's for all its other useful mods. As for armors, if you are trying to avoid hrs then I'd recommend looking at duress (which you have) or treachery runeword for the fade. Also, the lionheart runeword might be worth a look . One last thing - look into replacing your dwarfstar for a ravenfrost for the cannot be frozen mod which is very important for a wolf.
