is fire claw druid a fun build?

i've tried the big 3 druid builds - Fury, Wind, zookeeper.... not a fan

want to try something else....

Wind druid would be nice if the

Tornado would go straight, fucking hate having to go melee to not miss a hit lol.
wanted to try Fury, but the 800 damage

Eth

Tomb Reaver only has 2 socket, don't feel like wasting my only

Zod on that crap xD

Druid is my least favorite class. I also don't have a build for it that I find fun. Sorry I can't help.

If you didn't find any of the other builds fun, I highly doubt

Fire Claws will seal the deal.

It's the least fun druid build I have tried. And I love playing druid.

Maybe try

Stormlash Fury+wind?

i had a blast with fire druid last ladder season. It felt strong and durable, but definitely needed GG gear. Once i had a nice Flickering Flame and a Phoenix shield it really opened up. It has a mmo style rotation where you aren't spamming the same button, you rotate through a few different skills and i found that very enjoyable.

no Phoenix, will try Obedience/Flickering Flame.
r u in bear or wolf? i assume max

Heart of Wolverine

thnx!

no i meant fire elemental druid

doh! ill try mine anyway...

Fire Druid (

Fissure,

Armageddon etc.) is the most fun and the strongest variant, but you need very good gear for it to shine (Infinity, Enigma, Flickering Flame, Phoenix, Heart of the Oak,

Arachnid Mesh,

The Stone of Jordan, many Skillers).

I really love the

Werebear-Zookeeper, but even stuffed with GG gear he is for P1 only. It's the most chilled build in the game, what makes it worth playing, at least for me.

Wind Druid is lame. Fury is meh, and I don't like the

Werewolf design.

All in all, Druid is just a bad Necro/Sorc/Pala.

Isn't Fury similar to

Frenzy or zealer ?

Wind Druid is for PVP. PVE for this build is just subpar.

Assuming well geared the

Armageddon /

Fissure build is easy for doing solo p8. But you tend to have to mash a lot of buttons i.e. isn't as chill as

Nova. Also has very high life and a bear...

Fury is not for farming IMO. It's for doing Ubers and DClone. Meta build has very high single target damage.

How about a Fury Druid with Destruction rune word with some synergies for a little aoe. Not sure how I would allocate the skill points though.. or the weapon base.

I did a Fire Claw -

Maul

Werebear buold myself, following this guide :
forums/something-for-maul-werebear-play ... 79475.html

With non

Eth Reaper's toll for main weapon (cheap), a Fortitude I had in spare, a Fire sunder and a Metamorphosis offered by Shadowheart.... which made the whole pack really cheap The most expensive was actually the Rogue's merc's Faith (but other options probably work - did not check)

Worked well and fun, even if not my overall favorite it's still in my team of 8 guys.

Same as Necrarch. Had a lot of fun with the

Werebear and the

Maul / fireclaws (for hitting) and shockwave for crowd control. The

Werebear sidesmacking monsters always gives you these bud Spencer vibes...

It actually is! I played with Fire SS Druid on 2 occasions and at both times he rocked! Dunno on high players count tho, but on low & mid, it's mega fun to play with and it's quite strong. I even dropped my gear down to full Aldur's set and it was fine as well and some weaker rings/amu.

For full gear I think I used Flickering Flame in some okay-ish base with I think +3 Lycan (maybe it wasn't even Druid pelt, can't remember), CoH (didn't have extra Forti at that time),

Ribcracker (but maybe HoJ+Spirit or HoJ+Phoenix would be even better or as Necrarch mentioned something like Reaper's),

Magefist, Aldur's,

String of Ears, res leech rings (alt. BK/Ravenfrost) and Maras. I also didn't have full SS skillers, just some random ones including summ. Skills-wise

Hunger is defo 1 point wonder that can be essential, otherwise just max

Fire Claws, synergies and SS stuff (in that order but ofc you can start with a couple of points invested into Lycan/

Werebear)!


P.S. You can also try that Cold Druid build, it's very very niche and don't expect Sorc/Javazon clearing speed but it can be very fun and different to go through the game like that plus it's fine even on p8, again don't expect that you will be clearing everything instant but it can somewhat hold (with

Arctic Blast and

Hurricane and you can even add the Bear for tanking purposes and/or regular wolfs for even more slow). For him I was using BA Doom+Spirit, Nightwings, CoH, Maras, SoJs, Arach, Trangs and I think Sigon's boots but I think I eventually switched to some dual or triple res ones; here however I had a full Elemental skillers setup with some res SCs. That build will always have a special place in my heart!
