Druid (Bear) for S4 - Suggestions plz

Hi,

i want to make a druid in the next season and not matter what, it has to be a bear (i love the d2r bear graphics so much). Any suggestions on a build? Right now im unsure if fire claw or

Shock Wave. It does not have to be meta. Just good enough to get slow farming stuff like Countess and such, when free time in the evening or doing some (not all) TZ. I read

Shock Wave was pretty strong and was nerfed. Is it any worth going for it now? Are there any other unknown/unpopular bear builds that can work? Maybe a physical or summoning build +

Maul/

Hurricane/big bear friend? Or physical with fire or cold? Havent played a bear yet, so maybe you can give me a forecast what can work, or fails miserably. Any advice appriciated.

Fire claw+armmagedon for sure. P8 farmer. You can go fire claw+

Maul but it's just single target. I never tried shockwave so cant tell you what is the state of that.
About

Hurricane if you plan to do p8 it's worthless, p1-3 can be nice.
Never tried summoms too

You can try morphing into a

Werebear with a Barbarian if you have Beast

I have a

Frenzy barb and Beast and ocassionally use

Werebear form, it's sub-optimal but really fun

I prefer

Werewolf form (faster) using

Wolfhowl so my barb can be

Frenzy, wolf or bear. The wolf can solo Ubers. Haven't tried soloing Ubers as a bear though.

Normally im running with 1-2 rl friends only so p1-3 is the most i will play. Do you think claw+arma will be doable p1-3 even if im just running budget? I dont think i will get enough in a season for making meta things like Infinity or Phoenix.

Good question... I think it will.

Ok i did my decision: Going for a fire claw + phys bear. Leaving out

Armageddon and spending the additional free points on

Maul or

Werebear. Metamorphosis + Obedience screams at me to be used. This will be fantastic. Thx for your shared thoughts.

You will onetap everything. Sounds fun!

Upgrade to Phoenix(

Decapitator?) When you can. It's the mother of Obedience. But Obedience is very cool and like you said very fitting.

Gl hf!
