A Median XL guru... a true book of knowledge
3k str on a str based char really isn't high amount. With charms you get about that value with 0 str crafts, and jewels in sockets.

I am trying out the TW druid right now. TS seems really strong and I am glad there's another spec besides totem/summon necromancer to pick as a starter build. TS numbers/mechanics definitely need some tweaking/rebalancing to make it less overpowered, however it would be sad to see it being totally nerfed to the ground (like GGG usually do in Path of Exile with FoTM builds)

I'm very curious to hear if ITD is even necessary on a Nimmenjuushin? I have four now to try it on.

Just not sure if it's worth it. I read somewhere in the previous pages that someone got the ITD modifier on it.

Everything dies with one TS already so I vote no and it doesn't work on bosses or stuff that really matters.

ITD has no effect on bosses and some special monsters. Thus, it's good for farming only, not for doing ubers or getting charms.

Firebark is better imo.

It isn't necessary. You hit so frequently with TS that it won't make a difference. Just search for some attack rating cycles or affixes on crafted jewels and you'll be more than fine.

Argument for Lamha vs Firebarks is simply based on your build. Are you going force of nature and relying on a lot of spell procs? Lamha will be better for the str factor and spell damage. Going for more of a weapon damage focus, Firebarks or facebreakers is likely your better option.

I'm now using Bonecrushers and Klaatu. There might be better combinations ofc. A +4sk and nice proc ammy ofc is a solid choice but I only have one with Hymn, so it's not an offensive proc. Also found a

Hymn will do nothing for you as a TW. It gives Life on Attack. Thorn Strike doesn't qualify as "on attack".

Just test around with the items and find what seems best for you. There's never 1 perfect, proper way to play a character in this game.
