Hey, I was thinking of a lvl 18 rabies druid, and wondering if it was viable or not. I found a rabies pelt a few days ago, and it got me thinking. I have gear and skill allocation in mind, but im afraid that deaths gloves would completely crippel the build. If someone could supply me with a damage calculator, that would be fantastic. But if the build were to be made, i think it would serve as nothing more than a pub killer. I'd rly like people's insight on this, cuz im seriously considering it.

You'd be hitting about 550 damage over 5.6 seconds.

Which is kinda, well, bad, especially with Death's taken into consideration.

since its mainly a poison build, i thought a wep could be a six p emerald'd military pick for about 600 extra dmg.

PLR does not affect rabies AFAIK

Well, just for added poison damage really.

seems like a fun build to make. i just wouldnt throw too much time into making it. i personally would make it a super cheap build that has some o/w to help the drain effect. steel scimitar/sig shield and just switch to raven claw
the scimitar might make your hits fast ill have to check summit first... sig shield for added rabies dmg. rc for when they run and/or when you want to finish them off. twitch or stealth armor for hit speed/run speed whichever you need. ck boots for dex/frw/fire dmg. tarn or a 20 frw/skill helm if convenient. death glove/sash. 5frw lcs arent in demand?
thats my 2 pennies.
/edit that p emerald sword might be a better idea

i'm pretty sure khalim's is the only weapon that'll help a druid without having shaels, it's the only one at that lvl that has any speed...

also yes, death's gloves definitely would cripple it, but if it's a pubber i wouldn't worry too much.

i'd go khalim's/swordback or steel/sig and raven claw or something, like master said.

I would probably use feral rage as a secondary attack, as it would also help with your run speed. And I highly recommend using a horadric axe for your wep.

Khalim's flail/swordback or sig would be a good option I think. I have a pelt with + 2 rabies, so no need for tarn. But thx for your opinions guys, I think I'll give this a shot. I'll let ya know how it turns out.

Gave it a try. Hit around 500 dmg. Own'd pubs. Raped by llders. Sucked.

You would have to restrict yourself to dueling only casters. Although they should all have decent poison resist from Stealth.
