Are pure Rabies Druid viable in Pvp??

Hit and run tactic with no fury included. Using the Carrion Wing bug and sticking rest of the points into Cyclone Armour/Twister for the absorb.

I really like the effect of hit and run and let them chase you down while their life drains. :eek:

It can be as long as the person does not start stacking poison res and using antidote pots one after the other.

Rabies does surprisingly well. One of the great things about it is that it's infectious. If you bite a minion it will infect the player as soon touches the minion or teleports away. Similarly you can infect whole teams during team dueling if they come too close to each other. You're going to have a tough time killing good sorcs (no minions) or good bone necs (unless you get a hit in on them or their golem) but they do fairly very well against many oponents in skilled hands. People aren't used to protecting their minions and that is where you can really clean up against many casters. With carion wind you only need 20 points for strong rabies you may want to consider some fury or other secondary attack. It's very hard to antidote against rabies also because the poison hits in waves, you can cure one wave, but the next and the next require more potions. It also can will, it doens't just drop people to 1 HP. If you can get a good amount of OW without sacrificing too much rabies dmg, then OW could help a lot as well.

I think you'd be better off without cyclone armor and either going fury/rabies or pure rabies without the Carrion Wind (BK ring instead).

Carrion Wind
20 Rabies
20 Lycanthropy
20 Oak
20 Fury
20 Werewolf (maxed last)
1 Raven
1 Spirit Wolves

OR

No Carrion Wind
20 Rabies
20 Lycanthropy
20 Poison Creeper
20 Oak
20 Werewolf (maxed last, not even necessary)
1 Raven
1 Spirit wolves
Maybe 1 Grizzly

A partially synergized cyclone armor will maybe help absorb 1 hit and cannot be recast. It's a total waste.

Maybe I should try Rabies/Fury. I attempted a Rabies/FC but it took some time for me to unshift and reshift before I can use Fc and by the time Im done, Im most likely dead. :eek:

Rabies is very good in pvp

I use a Rabies/FC durid. My normal rabies damage is only 30k but I switch to Death's Web/Spirit (I should get sheild with +/- psn%), then quickly switch back. By this time the person is almost dieing or are dead. There are some people who have stacked psn resists (carrion+Sandstorm) I notice with death's web even they tend to go down easy.

Just get a lvl 40+ rabies and death's web+SS(psn facet) or unique Trollnest with 3 x Psn facets. Bite and run away!
