Rabies Druid - My version

Since I recently found a poison sunder charm and had several poison facets in my possession I gave the

Rabies Druid a try on hardcore non-ladder. Basically it is a Fury druid with the option to use a maxed out

Rabies. Weapon is

Tomb Reaver with three rainbow facets. Jalal socketed with a facet.

Rattlecage as armor because of monster flees, crushing blow, socketed with a

Defender bile. In order to still have a decent ias for Fury I use the act 5 merc with dual Hustle and Lawbringer.

It is kind of a trade off beween Fury damage and some aoe damage for certain monsters. In areas with high monster densisity you first run around and use

Rabies several times and then you smack the monsters down with a lower health pool using Fury. I do have on swap Death web and a mosers socketed with two facets. But I don't swap often since it is faster imo to clean everything up with Fury and the monsters with high poison resistance just take too long to die with

Rabies. Surprisingly several monsters with no poison restistance die quite quickly without weapon swap. And most monstes with medium posion resistance have lost quite a chunck of of their health pool when you finish them with Fury. It certainly does not make much sense imo opinion to kill 3-4 monsters you come across with

Rabies, you then just use Fury.

It is different playstile (certainly not focused on farming efficiency etc), you soften up monsters first in certain dense monster situations. Overall it is defintely not as bad as I thought it would be. This character is fun to play and is playbale on players one, maybe players three. He is doing well in Act 1 and the

Tal Rashas tombs. And I kid you not, he already found a

Ber rune in

Tal Rashas Tomb today...

Here is the build on maxroll: https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/rlkcha0w

Just in case they might bump up

Rabies a bit in one of the future patches, I will certainly come back to this guy.

What about

Dol in

Tomb Reaver and a 4x facet

Dusk Shroud instead of

Rattlecage?

Bramble for

Rabies druid.

Rabies is fun in PvP. You hit once your target then you run. Lol.
