wind druids are basically the most annoying of all the things a necro can come across, since with unstacked fhr, ur hit recovery = 11 frames = their cast rate. by this i meant the engima vareity that teles on top of u and spams tornadoes that each hit twice.
i did testing, tornadoes are unblockable, and hit twice if cast at close range since they wave side to side.
due to minion stacking, ur first spear will kill off their wolves or whatever but leave the druid untouched, so he spams u with the equvalent of 5 fpa 6k damage tornadoes which are unblockable, and u die quickly.
using engima against wind druids is pointless, its better idea to run. since namlock tele causes the caster to pop out on top, run down, and shoot spear up. smart druids ill then start trying to "cut u off". use teeth.
best idea is to use 9 fpc casting (125) by 2 caster rings, , rare circ with 20%, hoto, mage, arachnid, and a 5-10 basic crafted caster amulet. optimally, u can get a 15-20 % fcr amulet but those are hard to get; my setup aloows for 9 fpc with not that much expense because usually everythings pretty cheap besides the 15-20% amulet. also, pile on enough hit recovery charms to hit the 6 frame breakpoint, forgot what this is but its on soullesschilds guide, its the one above 56%. otheriwse, ur hit recov rate will equal their cast rate, which is not very healthy. someone suggested bloodfists and using 10 frame (75) also.
"good" wind druids duel by namelocking u and using this to follow ur teleport; when u waste time to shoot backward, they catch up since they're confident that spam vs spam, they will win.
bonespirit and spear are both useless due to minion stacking.
thus, shooting teeth backwards at the following druid is the best way; however, by wasting one casting period they will catch up and u'll be hit by hurricane, and blocklocked by wolves, and be screwed. healthiest combination of strategy and skill would be to get the 6 frame fhr breakpoint ah i remeber it now, (86), cast at either 10 or 9, 9 preferably, and spam teeth in front of where u think they'd gonn next teleport. when they get on screen, that means they're next move wil be to namelock teleport u, then start spamming spears upward. with the proper fhr and cast rate, u should be able to win.
nice guide soullesschild. i think i fought u in a pubbie before.
