I have been playing this game for a long time and i tend to go for the cookiecutter builds (usually) meteorbin, hammerdin, fishymancer... I never levelled a druid above level 60 simply because i always went for the summoning build and that didn't work out for me.

However i would like to start myself a new project and i was thinking about a werewolf based druid. My intention is not to go for the strongest available gear but play this character mostly self found and self crafted.

But before i start such a project i like to ask the more experienced players of such a class what to look for on items.

The builds are self explanatory and i can also read from the stickies :) so that should not be a problem. i am seeking advice on what stats i should look for on items mostly.

Thanks for your input!

Regards,

1. IAS. Is the calculator in sticky still accurate (it is based on v.1.10)? Or at least: is the breakpoint table accurate? Recently I've been experimenting a little by switching Atma's Scarab and Highlord’s Wrath and my druid's attack is clearly slower with Atma's on. But doesn't only IAS on a weapon count (see below)? Also why does the calculator need negative input from the one on (let’s say) Arreat Summit (Stalagmite is for example speed 10, so I put in -10; but the result is slower (8 frames) than with 10 (7 frames) which makes no sense to me).



2. Damage in relationship with equipment suggestions. I use:

- Upped Ribcracker with Shael.

- On switch: Tomb Reaver; 3 os with Shael and 2 ed jewels (for res when needed and also MF; higher damage than Ribcracker, but less style).

- Jalal's Mane with Um.

- Fortitude.
- Gore Riders.

- Dracul's Gasp.
- M'avina's belt.

- Raven Frost and rare + ar, mana and life leech and some res (I'm not at my own computer at the moment; can't remember specific numbers).

- Highlord's Wrath and/or Atma's Scarab.



From what I see, the main problem is ammy and belt. Do you guys have any suggestions about the gear if I'd like to ... well, do more damage in less time :D ]]> Druid Dagaz http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?846612-Fury-druid-IAS-and-damage-questions
