OMG Druids are so sexy [Fire/Wind dr00d]
I've just fallen totally in love with druids, after a rather long break from D2, I decided to pick it up again - for SP, got fed up with the average WUGer on bnet. Maybe when ladder resets in 2009...
Hardcore of course, why would anyone else play SP? At first I wanted to make a Amazon, because, well, I love playing Lightning Amazons. But then I read about a Fire/Wind druid here, and thought, "Fissure is sexy, Tornado is sexy, together they must be ultra sexy". And hence MoA-DrOOd was created and wow! He's butchering anything left and right, Fissure eats up anything no-FI (with help from Tornado spam, and the Leaf runeword).
Completely untwinked, he breezed through normal (player 8, against all)- do all quests, get all wps, may not use TPs defensive and quit/exit to survive and most importantly live of the land (IE. No help/items from other chars).
If anyone is bored with the standard cookie-cutter pure wind caster, try the Fire/Wind variant, they are very fun and viable!
-----------------------------
Ok. Now my questions.
1) I don't really expect nightmare to be hard either, except well FE ancients+lister, grrr. How strong can I expect Fissure (with max Firestorm)to be in Hell? I know Tornado don't need fully synergized to kill well, just FCR which I got covered.
2) Is it just me or are Dire Wolves much better than Bear? It seems like Bear need a rather large investment to be useful, where wolves works fine with just 1 point - distractions for you and merc. Bear isn't distracting as well, partly due to being alone I guess.. But still, are wolves' AI more aggresive hence taking more attention from monsters?
3) How well would he fare in say, pits?
