Just wondered wot everyone thinks is best? and how do they cope with the usual cookie cutters? i.e sorc hdins bone necro's

(Not a windy already got 1 and love him, but i need something new)

Fury/Rabies for the win

Or Pure Fury if you can pull off the charms.

Yeah I was thinking maybe a rabies, but because there melee do they get owned by alot of chars??

e.g how do you cope going through hammers?

Also could you please list the pro's/con's of the builds u suggest. thanks

Fury/Rabies Hybrid, as posted in the stickies by Stoute :
Pros - Two damage types, high damage output on both, can detect desynch with summons, gear independent enough to add stack without crippling the build, hell on wheels against casters and smiters, high life, Best fhr in the game

Cons - No teleport in wereform, minor (some call it major) bug with fury animation (mainly an issue vs smiters, but that's what rabies is for), Get's ganked a LOT when the pubby morons realize you can pwn all of them

Pure Fury :
Pros - Very high life/ar/damage, Best fhr in the game, also capable of stack, also can detect desynch with summons

Cons - No teleport in wereform, bug with fury more prominent, though again mainly vs smiters. Also gets ganked a lot in pubs, but with more charm room, probably has more r/w to get clear (mine with full frw gear can desynch without vigor).

i see.

How do they compared vs hdins, bowzons and trap sins?

Don't spose ur on ladder west? if so would you mind dueling me so I see how they do?

Lol. Shapeshifters are only fun if you don't mind dying.
I am hinting you that you will die alot without even landing a single hit.
You won't win against what... 95%+ of the classes out there.

Unless the other player makes a mistake or plays dumb, you won't win.

**Tiidus** · 13-04-2008, 20:33

mm ok thx dream :(

Any idea's of a class? or arent there any other than windys

**DayDream** · 13-04-2008, 20:35

Fire?
Windy
Shapeshift
...Town guard summon <--Lame and easily owned :P

**Tiidus** · 13-04-2008, 20:42

Not sure what you mean dream???

So what class was that your saying does well in pvp pubs? :P

**DayDream** · 13-04-2008, 20:44

Only thing a druid is good with and can fairly duel with top classes is windy. Any others from a druid is weak or sorbable.

If you don't mind dying and only play for fun then make a fury/rabies. Don't expect too much and brace yourself for easy k.o's.

There also doesn't seem to be much shapeshift dedicated duels as you may see for zeal, bvb, smite.
