THIS GUIDE IS BROKEN AND OUT OF DATE! PLEASE DO NOT USE!

Pros:
You are a Bear
Easy(ish) to play
Tanky Druid build
One of the simplest Melee builds to play
Fun to play
Can attack INSANELY fast (I have seen 4 frame attacks)


Cons:
Melee Character
Can feel stale to play for more experienced players
"Expensive" Midgame Gear
If you are partied with an assassin, and they are using the Phase Bomb skill, your attacks can instantly kill you.

Overall, you think that using the Scosglen set is Superior to Crafts? Abandoned Craft Giant Axe with Creepy Shrine bless has been extremely effective and Erawan and Nephilim as well. At this point, I am level 118 and have had little to no trouble steamrolling a lot of mobs with just that gear. In your opinion, are the set pieces more effective than Crafting or is Crafting the superior gig here? Also, thank you for bringing light to this powerful, POWERFUL character

My personal philosophy is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Stick with what is working. I prefer the set over crafts, but that is not to say that you can't get some crazy good crafted gear. I debated heavily on adding Nephilim boots but I thought the other boot options may be superior. And thanks for reading the guide!

My 5 cents.
For breakpoints you can use this viewtopic.php?f=40&t=42367&p=335077#p335077
HR breakpoints on speedcalc should be accurate.

Good roll hammerfist is probably way better than facebreaker or blind anger.
Khazra is way better than Candlewake or SBS.
Nephlim (NIH boots) are better than apefoot or hono greaves in midgame.
Steppe Sleeper
Steppe Sleeper
Boots (Sacred)

Defense: (1302 - 1627) to (1342 - 1677)
Required Level: 80
Item Level: 1
+1 to Barbarian Skill Levels
(10 to 40)% Movement Speed
+(100 to 150)% Enhanced Defense
30% to Strength
Requirements -100%
Socketed (4)

Tundra Walker
(Barbarian Windcarver Set)
is also a really good midgame option.
Nature's Grace

Nature's Grace
Druid Helms

'KoVenVenIth'
Runeword Level: 100
+(1 to 2) to Druid Skill Levels
1% Base Block Chance
+30% to Poison Spell Damage
-15% to Enemy Poison Resistance
+(171 to 200)% Enhanced Defense
+100 to Strength
40% to Strength
Requirements -50%
is also a really good endgame option.

I think wildfire and rend are completely different builds and shouldnt be mixed, as one gears WDM while the other is a melee caster.
Also I think an alternative gear setup for midgame should be added, as the set wont ever be assembled by midgame unless you're twinking the character.

Edit: get rekt crash slowpoke

this is rather painful as a guide overall cause it doent pick a clear skill path for phys wdm vs fire spell.

tu military pick early game is far superior to giant axe.
no mention of windrunner boots anywhere either.

i still like the tgtalcon comment tho. just needs some straightening out in the write up

I appreciate the suggestions. I changed a few of the items, which is something I meant to do earlier when I was working with Ekital. Even though this is a Rend heavy build, I still think wildfire can and should be used as the occasion calls for it. As for an alternative midgame set up, I can add that in.

I thought it was clear that it was heavy leaning on physical damage, but I can clear that up more.
