hi all, had 10min free today and didnt feel like doing some mf; so here a quick guide.

ok, im not sure but i think a druid can cast fisure in bear form. if not.. then let me know fast so i rechange guide, but i thought i remember i duelled a druid once in bearform so should be ok

lvl18 ele druid rushed into hell


firestorm: max (1
molten boulder: 1 (prereq)
fissure : max (7)
oak sage: 3


helm: +3fisure +3oak sage / 3 socket helm [antlers,hawk helm or wolfhead [ all -27str req])
armor: twitch (20fhr/25block/10dex/10str [27str req]
boots: cow king (30frw/20dex [18str req])
rings: 2 * manald (replenish life +8 ,Regenerate Mana 20%,+20 To Life)
or
rings: 2 * 10fcr / 40mana / energy-life rings
amu: +1 elemental / 40life / 40mana
gloves: bloodfist (30% Fhr / 40 To Life) [0str req]
shield: bone shield (30/20 - 12%dmg to mana - 2socket) [25str req, 40%base block] 2 * eld socket = 40+20+7+7 = 74%block or 2 * eth socket for 60%block and 30%mana regen. id go for eth runes, as eth socket = 60dex, eld =52dex, if i got to chose between 8stats and 30%regen, id go for 30%regen
weapon: pritty much anything, as there isnt really one good; maybe try a Skewer of Krintiz (10dex/10str on it [25str25dex req]), maelstrom to win some fcr, but dont think fcr will be needed. if u need it, go for fcr ofcourse. socket it with 12%dmg to mana jewels

all other sockets can be filled with either rubies or saphires if u have mana problems

lvl18 = 85stats +15rushed = 100stats

str: 27 (15base + 10 armor = 2 left to invest)
dex: 60 for eth eth boneshield (20base + 10 armor + 20 boots = 10 left to invest)
vita: 55base + 25 (lvl18) + 176 (88stats left) + 152 (4 perfect rubies) + 600 (40sc with 15life)+ 80 (gloves+amu) = 1088
energy: 20base + 40 (amu) + 80 (rings) + xxx (from sc) = 140 + (i think ull need a good 400 mana if possible ^^ but never played it so its a very rough guess)


sc's: best would be 40 * 15life/7mana sc's, if not, use plain life's and use mana pots in pubie games (also u got 24%dmg to mana, and some mana regen, so i dont think u should run out of mana, unless they dont hit u., so maybe 400mana is not needed, and our base 140mana is enough)


total life: 2k+
fhr: 50 fhr
dmg: 293-325 dmg (with 75%resist, this would give around 15life they lose /sec = 900life / 60seconds, but this is probably wrong as i have no idea at all how many times u get the dmg /sec. it was just in case the dmg would be done every 1 second)
skill cost and duration: 15mana / 3.2seconds.

as in lvl18, almost all chars are melee, and exept pala most wont have 75 resist. most pala's wont even have it as they prefere ed/ar shields..... u just cast fissure stand in the middle of it, and do what u want ^^ atack with your fist, or anything. with 3k life, 75 block, u should be ok.

At level 18, you are mainly going up against pallys lol. YOu could also use that to your advantage by making a 6 sock wep (crystal sword or something like that if they get 6 socks) and then put in some stat jewels and/or dtm jewels. With the pally's hitting you, they just regen your mana enough for you to attack.

You may be able to use an open wounds weapon on 2ndry to annoy them every now and then. Well thats if you can hit them..... but just hope they dont have those fire res boots in the stash.

[Solartje]

yeah its an option ederfico

dsm, dont think ill hit anything ^^ ill mainly be running around and avoiding hits by running in weird ways to confuse them

well guess no one ever made one, seeing the comments, so time to make one for me. still to busy making my other ideas, but this druid will be on my list soon.

its true 99% of lvl18's are pala's (zealers, chargers and smiters), but i just refuse to make one. so after my trower barb that is really not doing badly, ill make my ama first, as i got some max/life gc's left enough to make a melee 18, ill start making the druid.

(ps a lvl18 bonenecro really works well. can beat any pala with the right gear, and its alot cheaper)

I didn't see anyone mention this, but the only elemental skill you can cast while shifted is Armageddon, which is basically the most worthless of them all.

I am trying to put together a level 30 FIssure Druid right now. With my setup, I have something like 1100 Fissure damage, but I still have to find that ultra-rare +3 Fissure Lore to make it work right. *sigh*

[Solartje]

edit: yeah dont works in druid form


updated the guide.



(ps im thinking of making a melee zeal bear lvl18) using a zeal charges scepter and MAX life ^^)

i really wonna make a lvl18 druid, but no idea wich one will be the strongest.

the fisure, the zeal, the fireclaw..



EDIT: PART II


ok made some quick dudu's in open
and here are some screenies

its a druid using zeal as atacking skill from a scepter. and using fisure to cast on the place where the battle will be held

now one version has maxed oak sage skills and 15life sc's only, the other has max firestorm(synergie for fissure and 6max/**/life gc's)
All jewels where realistic 15max jewels. nothing godly
(if a sacre scepter is used the dmg on the max firestorm version has up to 1k sacre dmg)

zeal cant be used in bear of wolf form wich was my orininal plan.
i think 500 (5hit) zeal dmg and 300+ fire dmg is not bad at all. especially as the fissure will do continues dmg, whyle 500 5hits isnt really bad, as a pure zeal pala does around 1k dmg (but remember u got alot more life then they) so i THINK this druid might win vs a pala

(+3oak +3fisure 3sock pelt)
gothic 4sock
+zeal charges/20ias scepter
30/20 fhr 2socket bone shield
angelic set
deaths combo

all 15max sockets

Nope!~ Cannot Cast Elemental in Bear form except armageddon i think which is friggin useless.

So, I wonder if this build will still work as nicely if no bear form...hmmmm

one way to find out...build it...
