lvl 18 rabies dru Subject description: viable? |
|
Hey, I was thinking of a lvl 18 rabies druid, and wondering if it was viable or not. I found a rabies pelt a few days ago, and it got me thinking. I have gear and skill allocation in mind, but im afraid that deaths gloves would completely crippel the build. If someone could supply me with a damage calculator, that would be fantastic. But if the build were to be made, i think it would serve as nothing more than a pub killer. I'd rly like people's insight on this, cuz im seriously considering it.

You'd be hitting about 550 damage over 5.6 seconds.
Which is kinda, well, bad, especially with Death's taken into consideration.

since its mainly a poison build, i thought a wep could be a six p emerald'd military pick for about 600 extra dmg.

seems like a fun build to make. i just wouldnt throw too much time into making it. i personally would make it a super cheap build that has some o/w to help the drain effect. steel scimitar/sig shield and just switch to raven claw
the scimitar might make your hits fast ill have to check summit first... sig shield for added rabies dmg. rc for when they run and/or when you want to finish them off. twitch or stealth armor for hit speed/run speed whichever you need. ck boots for dex/frw/fire dmg. tarn or a 20 frw/skill helm if convenient. death glove/sash. 5frw lcs arent in demand?
thats my 2 pennies.
/edit that p emerald sword might be a better idea

i'm pretty sure khalim's is the only weapon that'll help a druid without having shaels, it's the only one at that lvl that has any speed...
also yes, death's gloves definitely would cripple it, but if it's a pubber i wouldn't worry too much.
i'd go khalim's/swordback or steel/sig and raven claw or something, like master said.

I would probably use feral rage as a secondary attack, as it would also help with your run speed. And I highly recommend using a horadric axe for your wep.

Khalim's flail/swordback or sig would be a good option I think. I have a pelt with + 2 rabies, so no need for tarn. But thx for your opinions guys, I think I'll give this a shot. I'll let ya know how it turns out.

death's set means u do almost NO DMG... throw in an iratha ammy and people could literally stand there and ROFL @ your poor druid.
Poison at low lvls really sucks IMO. It doesn't start getting potent until MLD lvls IMHO.

You would have to restrict yourself to dueling only casters. Although they should all have decent poison resist from Stealth.

I guess East must be way different from West... cuz on West pubs don't build lld's and if they do they typically build lvl 30's to lvl 50's and claim them to be lld's. The few noob pub lld'ers I saw were at least lvl 24 for the charms and typically built zealots which do fairly well vs. most classes except casters.
So... when you say you own the pubs with a lvl 18 druid... that wouldn't happen here on West since even the noobiest chars built here would rape that druid. I guess more noobies build lvl 18's on East or something cuz it just doesn't happen very often here on West.
If you want a versatile lvl 18 pub raper... pm Roy and beg for his zeal/charge paladin build. It will be expensive to make him as good as Roy's, but, even a starter build can do fairly well. A pure zealot will kill anything willing to stand toe to toe as high as lvl 30 sometimes... but, not many people will stand still and let a zealot beat them over the head with a cleg sword till they die
My pure cookie cutter zealot was around 1.2k dmg max... with the 30% ds from Cleg meant I could hit over 2k dmg ... if you marry that up with 4 hits per swing from zeal uninterrupted... HOLY GEEZ! I even killed Fuh's lvl 29 zealot once cuz the rolls gave me like 3 critical hits in a row.
PM Roy... you'll be happy you did. His char is very "pub friendly" and also would do well in lvl 18 open arena if you wanted it to.
