Hi all.
I am thinking for next ladder season to run melee druid full elemental. 1 points in the 5 summons for the zoo up to the bear and everything else in the 5 elemental fire skills (this brings the build to lvl 94).
The idea is to be a capable physical fighter while Armageddon and Volcano r3kt mobs. There is not plan for shapeshifting but maybe some points in Werebear will be considered. I've considered fire claw Werebear but if i do that then Armageddon will hit much less and Volcano would become sorta out of reach (not enough points).
So i'm ok with no shapeshifting. Full elemental caster with melee capabilities. 20 points for 5 skills in elemental.
For melee i'm thinking of Insight. Polearms and staves have best frames for druid unshifted, and it grants Critical Strike and 250% AR which i will need for playing melee. I'm thinking of the Thresher for base because it requires dex, and good base dex would give good base AR. Alternatively, Hexfire with Ignore target's defense could be incredible, but 154 str for Spirit Monarch is very high imo. Maybe Rhyme for cannot be frozen? or Raven Frost?
Demon Limb in secondary for Enchant self cast. Obeidiance is also to consider, but i think AR will be lackluster.
One thing is certain, at lvl 75 i will go for Ravenlore, and a colossal physical Stone probably, because this will boost elemental spells more evenly. Bone Break also i think would be a better choice than fire sunder because the penalty is lesser. This means i would like some item granting physical dmg res. Unsure.
What do you think? What do you propose? Give me your best ideas.
Thanks.

Yes it's me, generational run on Boune during Covid.
I think your best bet is Fireclaw Werewolf+ Armageddon if you want somewhat capable melee+elemental.
1 in the summons, 1 in the Fireclaw prerequistes, 1 in Fissure, 20 in Armageddon, Fire Claws, Firestorm and Molten Boulder and the rest goes into Volcano.
In the switch you can use Fleshrender and Spirit for +5 Shapeshifting, this gives you sufficient points in Werewolf to reach 7fps with Obedience when using a merc with Mania if you can get a druid torch. Obedience is the best choice because of the -25% fire res and the 40% crushing blow compensate for your low physical damge.
Without shapeshifting you attack damage and speed will be very poor.

Even with Critical Strike? I kinda agree that without a skill it doesn't look like it'll be very high. Alternatively i could go for oskills like Vengeance or others but Insight would be good for the aura.
Also the idea with 5 elemental skills is first for arma and Volcano to be max dmg but also use Fissure for even more dmg. They all have a cast cooldown and are to be prioritized over melee attacks, so if every skills are on CD i have nothing else to do at melee.
So melee comes last, and by that i mean it has to be viable at bare minimum, but it's not the focus here. Enemies fire immuned will still die off Volcano, Molten Boulder and Armageddon via the physical dmg, and physical immuned are dealt with via Bone Break.
Druid with Thresher starts at 15 frames per attack at 0ias. I think it's feasable to hit the 68 fcr breakpoint (12 frames) with at least 26% ias for 12 frames per attack as well, at least as a minimum standpoint.
A5 merc with Mania that is certain, maybe even two. I really like Eth Cryptic Sword for this case.

Level 1 Ravens and wolves do nothing but tickle the monsters under the elbow and then they die. Even with +10 skills they are as scary as my grandma throwing sand.
For the Dudu summons to do and to tank noticeable damage, you need 30/35+ levels and gear with damage auras.
I would use a bear as a tank and be done with summons.
Using the standard melee attack is a waste of time and damage not being done, since you could cast Fissure and Volcano instead doing much more damage.
But then maybe you want a challenge and intentionally create a weak but innovative (and fun?) build. But as a league starter, you will struggle hard, probably already in Nightmare.
