Just a bit more advice...plz

OK Working on my current ribcracker druid for ubers following the guide I'M a bit concerned about my damage...I'm at work so I can't quite remember the specifics but here goes...

Current lvl 69
current Fury damage:2100-4000
WW: lvl 22
Fury: lvl 28
Lycan: lvl 26
F rage: lvl 14
HOW: lvl 13
life is only 1670 right now:nervous: , I didn't go oak, wanted to try HOW!

Current equipment

Armour: CoH
weapon: Upped ribcracker (shaeled)
Jalah's Mane: um'd
Boots: standard goreriders
Belt: V heartycord
ring#1: M heal
ring#2: ravenfrost
ammy: rare +1 druid skills and some resists
current inventory: sm 5%FHR/LC +29 life/GC +1 SS, always looking for more of these types of goodies! I'm just keeping the charms I think help a furywolf of course!

I have a "famine" zerker to use on PHYs immunes but it sure slows things down a bit and my defense drops from not using ribcracker, gonna see if I can get my hands on a Azurewrath, seems it would be better....or I have been saving a stormlash to use as well. granted I have a few more lvls to go before I can use those two as the lvl requirment is lvl 82 I believe.

I saw a screenshot of a furywolf that had 4000-10K damage at lvl 92!!:shocked:

I'm staying on the right track here right guys?

Thanks in advance for your responses and advice!

Everything looks good so far.

What gloves are you using? Draculs Grasp ? if not those are the way to go. Also , your damage may seem low but it is the crushing blow from Ribcracker that will do all your damage. I also suggest a Atmas Scarab ~ the amp is very good~ or a highlords wrath for the deadly strike.

Crushing Blow
This is a chance of reducing a monster's health by X% in a single blow.


-Default: 1/4th
-vs. Players: 1/10th
-vs. Hirelings: 1/10th
-vs. Champions, Uniques, Bosses: 1/8th
-with missile weapons, default: 1/8th
-with missile weapons, vs. Players: 1/20th
-with missile weapons, vs Hirelings: 1/20th
-with missile weapons, vs Champions, Uniques, Bosses: 1/16th
The life removed is also scaled with number of players. So that if a monster has 450% more life due to 8 players (or whatever the value is) the life removed is further reduced by the same amount (450% would equal multiplying by 4.5 so the life removed by Crushing Blow is divided by 4.5).
It is possible to get up to 100% chance for Crushing Blow. Anything above 100% is discarded.
Physical resistance does apply to Crushing Blow damage, but only if the resistance is positive.
Crushing Blow Items stack in most cases.
Since 1.10 Crushing Blow is calculated before your normal damage. So, before doing the damage that you would normally do, there is a chance you will reduce the health of the monster by X% then normal damage apply to the resulting lower life. If you have more than one item with Crushing Blow, the probabilities will be added together. There will be one random check for a Crushing Blow. There is no check for each separate item, so one can not get multiple Crushing Blows in one attack.

My werewolf can do 14k max damage fury but since i don't have any crushing blow it takes me like eight minutes just to bring down uber baal.

Kiba,

Thanks for your reply!!:cool:

Yes, I do have a set of dracul's grasp waiting for me in my stash, lvl 76 required for them.

Now, wouldn't Atma's cancel out lifetap and vice-versa?? Depending on which one triggers first. OR would both curses stay active? If both stay active THAT IS brutal!! :grin:

I also have a decent but not perfect metalgrid waiting for me as well....for the resists.

Where are you guys finding these +1 skillers? The only one I have was given to me.

Only one curse will stay active at a time. I just like using both for the fact that some curse will always go off on around average every 5 seconds in PvM , but yeah i you do have a point about amp over riding Life tap. Forgot this is a Uber killing fury wolf your makin and your gonna need that lifetap active at all times for ubers. Metalgrid would also also suffice good along with highlords so yeah those are the way to go.

By the way what realm you on?

Kiba,

I'm on US WEST realm.

I don't see a lot of forum people playing TO much, I have run into Jary and played a game with him for a bit.

The Druid grove seems to be pretty empty most of the time.

I just join games with a decent amount of players for the exp. I got lucky last night and joined a game in NM with THREE other furywolves playing.

I must say to watch 4 wolves ALL furying their way through things is similar to watching a lawnmower cut through grass...even a lvl 82 Hammerdin seemed amused....

Then :censored: IM hits you and your pressing the esc button....

I have a poor memory, sry

are you *year-one?

If you're partied with me or "us" we'll need the HoW so it's all g. I'd rather use my oak vs HoW to bonus us, so that actually works out really well, glad you maxed that.

btw I agree with Kiba yah. I'm a big Highlords fan though, it's just an amazing ammy imo. 35% deadly strike... combined with gores, that's like every other hit doing double damage, amazing. and remember with dracs... double damage equals double leech vs minions, ubers, etc. and other ring, well... another raven is always good, less dexterity needed for block and extra AR, can't go wrong >.< Either way, yah... gonna wanna replace that manald :) look forward to seeing you online bud

Another raven or perhaps a duallech-ring (that's what I'm looking for to use on my ribcracker wolf atm)
