Give druid noobie a hand

Right, Im planning on making my first-ever druid upon the death (read: ttpk) of all my lvl 85+ chars, and i decided to go for a cookie cutter Fury / Rabies Weredruid.

I'm not TOTALLY poor but Im far from being RICH, so dont mock my gear choices with the "OMGFFF EBOTDZ P0WNSZ that WEPZoN!" please, this is what i can afford / see suitable for me.

(PvM only, until i get tppk'ed again, guess you can count that 1 second it takes me to die as PvP)

Skills

15 Poison Creeper (first 1 point, after that the last skill to be put points into)
Werewolf 20
Lycan 20
Feral Rage 1
Rabies 20
Fury 20
-----
96 skill points, finished roughly at cLvL 85. (rest will be put to creeper)

Gear

Jalal's (dont have)
Viper
Gore Rider (dont have)
Trang-Oul's Claws
Oath in some eth polearm WHICH ARE FAST ENOUGH FOR GOOD BP?
raven/dwarf
some amu (Highlords?)

Gear suggestions? I can't possibly afford any good runeword armors etc.

With these i would get a satisfying 508% ed fury (hoping for a good oath still :p) and a rabies with 5857-6171 + 25 % from TO claws = 7321-7713 poison dama over 13.6 seconds, making it roughly 537 / second. Enough for me to kill the Physical Immunes.

Sooooo if Im doing something completely wrong here, please, direct me to the right direction :) Thanks in advance

Hi!

Is this hardcore or softcore? Either way I'd leave werewolf at 1 point, max poison creeper and after that max oak sage.
If you feel you haven't got enough attack rating without maxing ww, put on angelic amulet and ring. They are actually quite good with their sizeable life bonuses.

Great poleaxe reaches 9/5/5/5/5 frame fury and giant thresher 8/5/5/5/5 with obedience. Both are fast enough for PvM with a range of 5.
A grief phase blade could be very good too if you can afford it, it has venom, -poison resistance, damage to demons, 9/5/5/5/5 frame fury and allows a shield(spirit?).
I also recommen using a belt, maybe trang oul's girth for a nice life boost or string of ears for damage reduction and leach.

Hope this helps.

If your maxing Rabies which not use the Carrion Ring for the Poison Creeper bug. This can save you 20 skill points. I dunno what realm your on so I dont know the price.
