I heard these were very uncommon so i decided i'd try one out. Any advice or such? So far i was thinking of getting a 3 soc druid helm with +3 Fury, upgraded twitchtroe, rhyme tower shield, blood fist, string of ears, 2x angelic rings, angelic ammy, tearhaunch, and as for the weapon some kind of rare cinquedeas with 30%ias/ed/max dmg. Any ideas/suggestions?

Sanders Boots/ 6 Sheal Crowbill or Naga

Why sanders boots over teartaunch? and why that weap over a rare cinquedeas?

With Fury , only the Ias of the weapon does matter....so you need alot of Ias....if you use a 6 Shaeled naga , you get 120 Ias thats the point

[Spazz]

Sanders add 100 ar and 40 frw
and more stats, I think.

Ya i know that; My point was is the 1 frame worth the damage you would get from the cinquedeas. I think the knife would get like 600 more damage, which would help a lot, but i dont know, imput please?

Edit: oops i mean like 300-400 dmg

[Jerkazoid]

the knife with 30ias and lvl 1 werewolf already hits 6 frames (the fastest possible for it

naga hits 4 frames.. thats a big deal imo vs zealots..

4 vs 6.. the 6 frame over time is 50% less dmg

Yeah, you can easily get a crowbill with 13-35+ dmg, 6 shaeled. Combine that with max dmg armor and charms and you'll be doing a lot of damage, especially if you use a spirit.

If you can get the jewels, I would go with a 4 maxed dmg ancient armor or something similar over upped twitch. I'd go with rhyme grim instead of tower since tower only gives 4% more blocking, but it has the potential for ~170 def. Everything else looks fine as long as you use sanders over tearhaunch.

Not to mention that a cinquedeas is only range 1 and to find a nice rare one might take a bit.

[Wolf-Strong]

Well if you sheal the cinquedeas it reaches 5 frames, and if its 2 sockets like what im looking for, your looking at much mroe damage. Also(this would be a dream come true) if it spawned eth and had replenish duribility instead of the max dmg mod... . I just tested out the naga on single player and while it does require a lot of str compared to a 6 soc Dimensional sword, It seemed to do ok. I think i am going to aim for that for now, maybe if i get lucky try the knife later. Thanks!

You might want to go here and see exactly how much ias you need for each wpn to get the fastest possible attack speed.

Remember more range is good, So idealy you should find a wpn that gives you the most possible dmg with the fastest possible attack and the greatest range. Also i would highly recomend using max armor instead of twitch for more dmg. If you don't want 4 sock max try and find a artisans with +life or +fhr. Sanders are a better choice over tearhaunch because they have 20% more fr/w, +5 more dex/str wich means +5 more vit, and most importent +100 ar.

if your east nl, i have a plain, ilvl 86, 8%ed/2ar sp grim scythe for the range. but that's a 2 hander, and it's range of 5.

i said ilvl so u can make sure it will get 6 sockts, if this is what your needing

As for the twitchtroe i was going ot put an ed/max jewel in it. The 4 soc armor seemed to add about 200 more damage from the twitchthroe, but the twitchtroe adds increased blocking(saving me dex points), fhr, and more def(i upgraded it). I was definatly thinking of getting a 4 soc armor though on hand to test which does better. As for the weapon speed, i got a hold of all the handy web sites already but thanks. I was thinking zerker for the damage and range of 3. Only problem with this is that it has high str requirements. So I then thought about dimensional sword with a range of 2 but less damage and requirements. I definatly need a shield though because otherwise melee wil just rape me. Otherwise for vs casters I think i definatly could use a good 2hander(was thinking a SteelDriver).

4 socket ancient armor has more defense than up'd twitch by about 75, and ed/max doesn't work properly in armor anymore anyways. You only need around 90 dex for max block with grim shield rhyme on that lvl of druid anyways, and that isn't too much to ask considering it will help your ar also, so losing the increase block on twitch for an extra 3 open sockets for dmg jewels doesn't seem like a big loss to me. If you really like the life you save from the 10 to dex and str on twitch then just use 3x max jewel 1x pruby in your armor to make up for it, but I wouldn't. Just use 4x max dmg jewel armor. Also if you use a naga axe you can us embossed plate armor which will get over 300 def which is cool also. Vs caster you should use that weapon godz has I think, cause you would maintain speed, and have huge range so if the caster ran away, you wouldnt need to be quite as close to them to beat them up while you were chasing after
