Build type help - new

I've never played a druid before. I've just come back recently, and so far have a summoning necro in the mid 50's. I was thinking about making a druid but not sure what to do with it yet. My goal with it would be for rushing/MF'ing. Thanks

Well, then a Hamdin then....
If not, you can get around with a Windy build.

 

[Evansec]

What does a windy bring that a hammerdin doesn't? or is it vice versa?

 

[Verashiden]

Windy has more life and summons to tank.

 

[Enigmers]

Windies are also a ton cheaper to make.

 

[Rawness]

Windies are also a ton cheaper to make.

Depends. I'd rather say hammerdins can be more cheap and effective, mf wise.

 

[inanefedaykin]

They both equal out IMO but hammerdins are still better.

 

[Zigot_HD]

Hammerdin -> Magic dmg. ( only one kind of monsters that's immune to it - Wailing beast )
Windy -> Physical and cold dmg.....I don't need to show how many cold/physical immune you have in hell....

Windy has more pets/meat shields but need to be in closer range.
Windy has more life -> Oak sage

A cheap hammerdin can go easily thru hell....
A cheap Windy will have more trouble...

So to answer your question again on rushing/MFing.... i'd go for Hamdin unless you want to give yourself some challenge.

They both use pretty much same caster gear for MF :

Shako,Enigma, Chancie/Trang, Goldwrap/Arach/Tgod, WT/Trek, HOZ/SS/Rhyme/Splendor, Hoto/Wiz

But big different is in shield... HOZ give ton of Skills/resist, blocking to HDin.

 

[inanefedaykin]

Yeah, but good hammerdins still use spirit for similar resists but stupidly high FHR and easier FCR without sacrificing much damage.

Thx Inanefedaykin, how did I forget Pally Spirit????

HOZ for more defensive playing.... VS spirit - much more aggressive style!!
