You can also use the normal tal rw in a broad sword and mo it as you need. nih armor and Lo helm exactly.
Flamberge is too slow imo unless you have a lot of fhr.


I just remember last time I tried making cheap gear druid I couldnt even kill a single pack of dcow to start the laek train. Perhaps I just didnt have enough charms or something. As for jewelery and gloves/boots/belt any tips? I found little saucer shield so i think thats solid to start.

Teganze Pendant.

Get a Lo sword with high IAS from jewels and maybe some MO's if needed, plus ED, and CB if you have space if you want to get the mana on striking and %slow target. Otherwise, if you have or can get a Carsomyr or Qarak's, those are great options.

Nih Armor or Jitans if you haven't made Nih armor yet with a good roll. Deadfall and Pul Gauntlets made it easier for me with the procs on kill cleaning up cows in packs behind you while they're slowed from the Lo sword. Toesie Warmers can also have the same thing with that proc and ele damage.

Generally, I just do Lo Broad/Long sword, On Gothic Shield (-req jewels are nice since it requires a lot of dex), Nih Ancient, Lo spirit mask, deadfall/ghal belt, ath greaves or toesies, teganze amulet, 2x supernova rings or 1x snova and 1x unseelie curse.

Fire res mostly from Pul gauntlets/toesies if you use those.

Wolf with Force of Nature gives every elemental dmg to weapon, so all pierce is important too.

I used Qor shield with -req/FHR jewels. 50% pierce all elements and 50% MF, with a near 12k def shield and +1 skill, etc is gg for wolf.

A lot of people use polar breath or flying saucer too for the procs and some pierce they give. Could go cheaper and use Shadowhymn for more all-ele damage.

For leveling, I'd just go with an On RW shield. I can't remember the stats.. I think up to 40% str and vitality? thats a huge bonus for wolf.

What is the best thing for me to do? I just came back to D2 after a long time, and downloading from Blizzard gets me 1.14b...

Do I just follow the other thread and download from "x" source and upgrade to 1.14b then downgrade?

You can't downgrade from 1.14x
Get 1.13c or lower and upgrade it to 1.13c if needed.

Basically yeah, I didn't have the time to write it all down but that basically sums it up. Cheap gear that you can probably roll within 30 mins. Lo broad if you need the mana ofc, if you can substain it then use Tal for damage (IMO). :)
