Fury Druid Weapons

okay - I give up - LW simply seems to suck... so Grief + Phoenix or Reaper it is...

That extends well beyond Fury druids. LW, despite the insane cost to make, in most cases is lackluster at best.

Adding up 2 cents to the pool:

I'm using an ethereal non-perfect upped

Ribcracker with my Fury druid. My merc is using Faith.

I enjoy it a lot, you should consider this option too, as well. It will cost you a

Zod, though. Still cheaper than Last Wish, for example.

and you need an ethereal ripcracker - first I need to move this moped to hell - Fury druid leveling is - let's say - exciting - health bar is jumping between "i am dead" to "ah I am full" a lot

is a

Ribcracker still a viable option?

Viable? Yes.
Are there better options now? Absolutely.

Without mark of the bear:
pure DPS standpoint (all Ethereal):

The Reaper's Toll no

Decrepify <

Ribcracker <

Tomb Reaver (ED/IAS inside) < BotD

Thunder Maul ~= Death

Decapitator/

Glorious Axe < BotD

Archon Staff <

The Reaper's Toll with decrep

With Mark:
DPS + target standpoint:

The Reaper's Toll no decrep <

Ribcracker <

Tomb Reaver < BotD

Archon Staff < Reaper with Decrep (against <25% phys res) < BotD

Thunder Maul ~= Death

Decapitator < Reaper with Decrep (against >25% phys res) < BotD

Thunder Maul against no phys res < Death against bosses

nice. thanks for the info

I could be mistaken but I thought blocking interrupts striking during Fury. That's why big 2-handers (ebotd or Death) are mostly used instead Grief PB + Phoenix. I am no expert, that's just something I remember someone else saying.

If you are struggling with leveling I have a Oath

Feral Axe that I can gift you. Its a mid roll but decent to get you through until you get leveled for gg

My 2 cents - certainly you can level up per the "Untwinked HC Fury Druid Guide" with an Obedience

Thresher. My vote is for the eDeath

Decapitator because:

1. Relatively cheap runeword.
2. In my RNG experience, easier to come across than the

Glorious Axe.
3. Once you finally come across an

Eth base, you can reliably quest socket it, since it is 5 max.
4. Hits like a truck, one or two shot everything and kill

Uber Diablo in 10 sec.

Check out iluvmf video where he uses the eDeath

Decapitator - very fun. I'm non-ladder so I can't use all the other runewords in that video, but the build is certainly adequate with lesser gear I could self-find - LoH, RavenFrost, Cerebus Bite,

Arkaine's Valor, Goblin Toes, etc. I have

The Reaper's Toll on the Merc for physical immunes, but

Atma's or

Lacerator on swap are potential options. Walking w/o the

Feral Rage buff seems glacial, so I think the Harmony bow on swap is not a bad idea with movement speed, elemental damage, and a

Valkyrie

Decoy.

I experimented a bit around and want to add my observations. eDeath Decap is really super and even crushes the PIs with sunder. However with

Eth Reaper's Toll kill speed is almost same and you don't need sunder. Also your merc is free to carry an additional aura support. I tried Hustle and it really works great. I'm using Hustle armor by the way. It's incredibly good for the cost. And I play P1.

Consider for a moment the outside of the box approach, and a cheap one to boot.

Hellrack.

With the

Werewolf's IAS buffs allowing him to flick it around like it weighs nothing (add a couple

Shael runes if you want to go faster), and a little help from

Rabies, you'll be serving every immune monster with loads of every elemental damage the game has to offer... With one weapon.
