So I finally have a Ribcracker, and I'm on level 45 now as my werewolf. I have maxed Lycanthropy, and have almost maxed Werewolf. I have Fury at level 4 at the moment (5 hits), Feral rage just at 1, and have put a few points in Dire Wolf (so as to have more HP for my Bear). What should I start focusing on now?

Also, I'm thinking about which mercenary I should go with. Many people say Act 2 NM Defensive, but I feel like it would be a good idea to get one of the ranged mercs, since I'm going to be all-out melee anyway. Would it be a good idea to go for the Act 1 or Act 3 mercs? Secondly, a more general question on mercs; if you use a Normal Merc, and just keep leveling him/her up, will he eventually be just as good as using a NM/ Hell Merc? Or is it a waste of time to level up a Normal merc?
Finally, last question (sorry, I should have thought of everything at once):
What do I need to do to upgrade ribcracker? I've looked over the crafting recipes here on the site, and can't find what I need to up it to an elite. And what will the level/stat requirements become when I do Up it?

1) Congrat's on the Ribcracker
2) Start boosting Fury now.
3) I prefer NM Act 2 Offensive (Might aura) merc. You could go with a NM Act 2 Defensive merc (Holy Freeze aura) if it suits your playing style. You are going to need a solution to physical immune monsters in Hell, so I recommend equipping the merc with a Reaper's Toll.
4) Normal/Hell Act 2 mercs have the same auras, but their stats are slightly different (Normal are better IIRC). NM Act 2 mercs have different, more useful, auras.
5) Formula to up the Ribcracker = Pul + Lum + Perfect Emerald + Item.
6) I don't remember the req. level for an upped Ribcracker (it's 76 for an eth, Zod'd Ribcracker...ouch!) but I think it's 50ish for a non-eth one. Hopefully someone can confirm or correct this. The requirements are ridiculously low: 63 strength/35 dexterity.
7) FYI - You can edit a post for up to one hour, so you could/should have consolidated everything above.

I was wondering guys, what if i socket a jah into my ribcracker for ignore target defense. That would help with any attack rating issues because hit rate is 100% with ignore target defense if im not mistaken. Right now i have 15-20k attack rating with fury yet i still miss from time to time. What do you guys think?
Do not socket a Jah in your Ribby.
1) ITD doesn't work on bosses (that of course includes the Ubers)
2) ITD doesn't let you hit 100% of the time for two reasons:
* Monster level and your level are part of the "to hit" equation
* With the exception of Smite, 95% is the max
3) You would sacrifice a the 5 frame breakpoint, which would more than offset any benefit
4) Shael is a whole lot cheaper; put that Jah to good use elsewhere
