pvm wind druid equipment questions Hi, I plan to make a pvm wind druid. I have a few questions regarding the equipment. Please, note that I am not rich (so no hoto or enigma...). Shield: I plan to go no block. Do you still consider stormshield as the best option? I'm very tempted to use a spirit runeword. These two shield have a high str requirement. Is worth to use one of them over a lidless or a rhyme? Weapon: Here I think the best option is the spirit runeword. What do you think? Armor: I might be able to use a upped vipermagi. Que hegan if I'm able to have high resists (excluse cyclone armor). I don't see better options. Helm: I found a 62 def alpha helm with +3 hurricane, +2 tornado +1 shockwave. Should I socket it and make a delirium runeword? Merc: I plan to use a act2 defiance.
Correction: Merc: Should I get a act1 merc with a 2 shaeled wws bow for amp damage or a act2 defiance merc with a reaper's toll for decrepify?
Hi, for my low budget pvm wind druid i use the following gear: Weapon: Wizardspike Shield: Lidless Helm: Jalal's (shael) Armor:Vipermagi Belt: Verdungo's Gloves: Frostburn Boots: Sander's set boots Rings: 10% FCR stuff, with a +1 ammy I don't have any skill charms or anything like a +2 ammy, but I still manage to kill pretty well with about 2.4-2.5k tornado and 1.2-1.3k hurricane. I got most of my gear for pgems, so this stuff shouldn't be too hard to get.
I would definitely go block...My Wind druid also has crap items, right now he's stuck using Oondal's Wisdom (yes a staff, you're allowed to laugh at me). Cyclone Armor takes care of elemental attackers and melee attackers can be tanked by Grizzly+merc, ranged attackers are a pain. And sometimes you have to put yourself in a bit of danger to shut them down, with Tornadoes being so unreliable. If you plan to go no block I'd take Spirit, because it seems a waste to use Stormshield if you don't block. That's a pretty sweet helm you got there...I'd make Delirium out of it if I had the runes...but I also like the huge mana/life bonus of Shako, and the damage reduction would also be nice if you're not using Stormshield. I would also recommend a Holy Freeze merc like Jimi-...
