Imagine this in a nice pelt for fire druids. Also gives sorcs a really nice end-game option now that isn't

Shako.

That is a sick

Helm! takes care of the fire any lack of fire resist from Spirit too.

For fire druid - is it better than

Ravenlore though? You could stack 3 from pelt + 3 from this in a socketed pelt but you will lose on 12% fire res and 5% dmg compared to a socketed perfect

Ravenlore. This gives +3 to

Fire Claws but I feel like a fire claw Druid will use

Jalal's Mane anyway.

Good for Scorch - the fire Act 3 Merc, but their dmg potential is still poop.

Ok for fire sorc but immunities everywhere are still going to be annoying. And most any rare or socked

Shako is still probably better.

I'm assuming the -fire res is likely a variable roll.

Ravelore is still a really good option but also rare as hell in a lot of circumstances.

Interesting - both for fire druids and fire sorcs. Combined with Phoenix and merc's Infinity... perhaps in ladder we can expect more "O

Vex

Ist N

Ohm" games

Even without the new RW, that was a nice base for Delirium.

i'm just using

Shako on my druid. 2 nice skills, plenty of mf, and lots of mana too.

This looks super useful. Like you guys have already hit on, obviously an interesting option for Fire Druids, especially if they get the buff they deserve.

But this seems extremely useful on any merc just for that

Resist Fire Aura since Fire Resists are the hardest to come by. So many classes use Spirit Shields and this would absolutely help offset its lack of Fire Resist.

Eh yes and no. A fire druid would almost always want a

Ravenlore over a Delirium sick pelt unfortunately. Put them in a weird spot.

Well anyway, i just bought

Ravenlore 20, thing's gonna do the job fine with a proper facet. It was after that I vendored these

Antlers.

looks like it's great for summon necro too

From Wowhead:

I hate being poisoned, it's obnoxious. Using this

Helm + having the Plague runeword on a merc seems incredible. -50% poison length duration on this

Helm and level 14

Cleansing should make short work of incoming poison damage.
