You can go anywhere between 12 and 20 hard points into poison creeper. I want to say I had twelve on my level 87 (uncompleted) flaming-rabies druid and could pull 27k rabies with the Death's Web/monarch switch. This allowed a little more fireclaws damage, about 11k if memory serves me well.

Verashiden went the maxed poison creeper route, which netted him 40k + rabies (if not a good bit more), and I want to say 9k fireclaws. Balancing the damages of the two is all a matter of preference. The only thing I'd lose would be the point in dire wolves. Both those and spirit wolves will die in one hit in pvp, so you might as well have five instead of three out.

Thanks for the replay. Tell me one more things why in this "flaming rabies build" he maxed Fissure and volcano ?? Firestorm and Molten Boulder gives the same synergy so why maxed Fissure and Volcano ??

 

[superjayson]

unshifted fissure and volcano are better skills.

 

[Verashiden]

unshifted fissure and volcano are better skills.

What he said.

 

[Ewoks]

how do u think what will be better for my druid

1. Phase blade with 6 shael
or
2. Phase blade with runeword OATH (50 ias and not so expensive)

so ??

 

[Jary]

naw, oath = too slow.

you're going from 110%wias -->50, you'll swing half as fast.

If you want some physical, griz caddy/mods would be better... heck, even ebotd would be better with 60%ias.

 

[Verashiden]

Speed > Damage Output

 

[Porky]

Speed > Damage Output

Thats a blatant lie, no point in having speed if it's too weak to hurt someone.

 

[Jary]

sry, you need at least 100 posts b4 u correct rashi ^.^

 

[jesterlolz]

Hah hah hah, I have more than 100 posts.

But, I agree with Verashiden, speed is more important than damage- to an extent. For example, a werewolf could attack super fast fury with a 6 shael pb, but it would do barely any damage.

However, in what I've heard of this build, and from common sense, physical damage is nothing, as your skills (fc and rabies) do all the damage, because there is no ed on those 2 skills. Because of that, speed is FAR more important than the minor physical damage gain you would get.

 

[Verashiden]

Thats a blatant lie, no point in having speed if it's too weak to hurt someone.

For DvD, yes. However, tell me you can hit a Smiter with 7+ frame attacks before he shields you in the face. Now tell me you can do that the four or five times needed before you connect on a blow. Now, add in that neither FC nor Rabies are dependent on weapon damage and huzzah.

:fortuneteller: --(I see porky getting owned in the near future... oop, too late)

jk porkster, I know what you meant ^.^

 

[Ewoks]

ok, u got right speed is more important, now i`ll be searching phase blade with 6 socked.
