my hybrid druid

[Maleficus]

made this using skill planner, and assuming items that i have
(no i have not built this char yet)

Malefice fury/geddon wolf druid


equipment-
ravenlore (high %)
earth shifter (+7 elemental skills...godly imho)
cta offhand (for the nice boost of life you need with this)
chains of honor or +2 valor (if you can teleport in wolf form, enigma)
2 bk rings or 1 bk and dual leech ring
maras, or a godly +2 druid skills ammy
magefist or soul drainers or steelrends (prefer the rends)
war traveler or eth sandstorm treks
perfect verdungos or arach belt

now then...skills...this is a high level build to complete, so just think youll always get stronger as you go

20 fury
20 geddon
20 volcano
20 firestorm
20 molten boulder
1 arctic blast/cyclone armor/tornado/twister/hurricane/werewolf/lycanthropy/rabies/feral rage
1 oak sage if you can fit it, but it kept dieing on me

yes, only one in lycanthropy and werewolf, just rely on your +skills for life and speed. also cta is very useful as it ups the life even more.

with the skills and items i said its something like 10k geddon damage, and +600% damage from fury. i used this build for a short time before taking a break to build my hammerdin and bot sorcs, and i had no trouble at all recasting geddon every few seconds as i approached the enemy...and you leech back enough mana to be fine.

comment on it, its really nice for killing everything in the game, you have no real weaknesses, cuz i dont think anything is phys immune and fire immune.

most of the time you see things fall just from the geddon around you, and if not you swipe them with your claws

the reason i chose not to go the path of fire claws is cuz the damage is pitiful, as well, you need more prereqs, and you lose the HUGE advantage of using 2 types of damage

edit: just cuz i was looking at hand's build and really didnt like it, so decided to post my own, no offense

Well, You actually know a good build. I was just WINGING it as I mentioned. That seems like a great build, but I might put one into Fireclaws to get uber synergies for that.

as a druid player myself i think that build is -.-*;; first off let me tell u the weaknesses, ur skill placement is better off as a non shifter type, and getting to 90 + isnt worth the time to make a build ur gonna scrap. next, earth shifter, bad bad bad bad choice for fury, all fury shifters aim for 7/4/4/4/4 or 6/4/4/4/4 fpa fury massive damg but theres MUCH BETTER choices than that, for starters u should read this wolf guide:

i chose earth shifter for its damage and the elemental skills, and the fact that i have it, im not sinking 2 sojs into a botd t maul (im east ladder)

and i did wing it lol

im not pvp AT ALL, im going pure fighting for fun, cuz pvp sucks imho, so i generally ignore frames, and if i need speed ill choose highlords over maras, and add a shael or something to my shifter

if you have a botd t maul you can go more physical, i wanted a strong balance between my fire damage and my physical

[HandOfHeaven]

I went with eth edge because the MIN damage is 240, and it is fairly fast. Also I don't have to have 253 strength points.

[Maleficus]

any other commentary?im building this character now, ill post more later

[HandOfHeaven]

It sounds as good as mine... Please do post with results of it. Have fun getting to lvl 95 or so. In what order are you going to max each skills?
