Help my new pup become an Alpha Male
Hi all! You may remember some time back my creating a wolf for the first time. He grew into a great level 30 Fury dueler. After 3 subsequent rebuilds he's more than great, he's a seriously competent dueler who doesn't lose often. This brings me to two days ago.
Queen Mebd and I were sitting around theorycrafting his new MLD WW barb, when the bug "bit" me to build an MLD of my own. After scrapping through mules, I decided it was high time to put to use an old pelt of mine. I don't recall all of the stats, but I know it's a 2 Druid/3 Rabies/2os green antlers, level 42 requirement. I also had a JToD, a 3os 100 life Light Plate, and some other odds and ends. His "final" gear looks something like this:
Said pelt, 2x 5/5 poison facets.
Said armor, 3x 5/5 poison facets(sub in Shaftstop/Duress DS)
String of Ears
3 SS/100 life amulet
2x SoJ(sub in Ravenfrost/Dwarf as needed)
Sanctuary Hyperion
Aldur boots(50 life, 50 fire res)
Trang's gloves
95 IAS/73 Cold res/73 Light res/13 other res Naga(5 frame Rabies)
Switch:
Jeweller's tower of deflecting, 3x 5/5 poison facets
6os Crowbill, 6x 5/5 poison facets
Some sub-in gear of note:
Jalal's-Thul(sorry cold sorcs)
Jalal's-Ort(sorry FoH)
Shaftstop, as mentioned above
Angelic rings and amulet
Ravenfrost(s)
Dwarf(s)
Tgods
Snowclash
I'm lacking 4 SS gc's, but so far I'm doing 29k Rabies on the primary, 40k on switch. I have something like this for skills:
Rabies-max
Poison creeper-max
Lycan-12 base
Wolf-1
Spirit wolves-1
Ravens-1
Oak sage-1
Prereq's-1
I'll have 2 more skill points to spend. With SoJ's on I have ~3k AR, which just doesn't cut it obviously. With one Ravenfrost, I hit 6.6k AR. I believe I'll be needing much more AR to deal with pubby paladins and barbs. I think I have nearly enough resist stack to deal with MOST cold/lightning in normal mode, but will need to stack more for NM duels. Mebd and I have discussed trying a Plaguebearer with a 5/5 facet on switch, rather than the 30/30 axe.
I'm looking for ANY advice you folks would be willing to lend, as this is my first time dabbling with Rabies as a skill/build. Any gear ideas, dueling tactics, etc.
