Low budget windy?

Low budget windy?

hi, im planning to make a Windy druid in teh near future but i dont have many rescources to get 10+ elemental gs, enigma or hoto, so i want to try this:

Weapon-Earthshaker(+3 ele)
Shield-Splendor runeword (1 to skill 10% fcr)
Armor-Skin of the Vipermagi
Belt- Verdungo's hearty cord (15% DR 37 Vit)
Boots- Silkweave (10% mana 5 mana after kill
Helm- jalal
gloves: frostburn (?)
ring- manald heal, ravenfrost
amu- +3 elemental ammy

would something like this be good at hell?

i would replace the earthsaker by a wiz. 50%fcr and 75res=tnx
storm is THE best shield ever for all except sorc/nec/pala imo, so i'd recommend that.
If you take the wiz, also take magefist. by using those you will pass the 99% breakpoint which allows you to spam tornados like a hmm, windy on crack?


try to squeeze out a soj if possible. the %mana will help you, the +skill would, and you would be able to use other boots(silkweaves arent exactly good boots(sandstorm treks are better), but they solve mana problems perfectly. for the rest i have no comments on your setup since it looks good for a first try^^

hmm i'd like the +3 skill, i will test it

also i just got my hands on a nightwing from a friend, would taht be good for windy?

It's definitely doable. Right now you have 40% faster cast and you're gonna want at least 68 for the bp, and you might even be able to hit 99. Here are some suggestions:

wpn - switch for either suicide branch or wizspike, both are cheap and incredibly useful
shield - keep
armor - keep
belt - keep
boots - keep if you run out of mana without them, switch to either aldurs or nats if you need the extra resist in hell
helm - keep unless you can get a shako
gloves - keep if you need the mana or switch to trangs gloves to hit 99 fast cast bp (also see "rings")
ring - raven/keep for cbf, manald/keep unless you have a 10% fast cast rare, if you do then use that and keep frosties as gloves (hope that didn't confuse you)
ammy - keep

Well there you have it. All you need is a few simple changes in equipment and you can take on hell np .

use wizard spike if you can't afford hoto its the best alternitive 50% more cast rate and 75 to all resists is alot better then 3 to ele skills. Or get suicide branch it gives 50% faster cast rate too and gives 1 to all skills.

i'll try to get suicide branch, i dont really need the resist (cyclone armor)

 

[bigmeanie]

totally do-able in Hell... Don't worry about getting Shako. not that much better than Jalal's except for MF.

That's what I love about windys... the most fun build with the least amount of tweaking/wealth required. You should be just fine...

just remember you're a caster not a tank/melee'r

have fun.

yea, jalal is a pretty decent helm.
