Harbinger Wolf Druid Full Guide [1.3]

copied from the guide:

Body Armor:
Linga Sharira This is the item you need! Punisher on struck, +1 all skill 200 FHR , mana regen, high defense!> You can use manaregen on wolf if you take manaregen item to inventory before turning to wolf form and when in wolf form. put it back in.

i still recommend not to do this since this is a bug and will probably get fixed in the long run. if you want to teach yourself play with some mana problems and use mana pulse time to time you dont need mana regen. these items are good but if you keep manaregen as it is it just take all your mana even with manapulse so thats why i have to use it with these items :/

added video for Cold build.

It seemed weaker than your original Faust farming, was it?

BTW, i not a fan of build switching (except maybe for late game content), is it possible to lvlup/farm from lvl 1 as a wolf druid or it's mandatory to start as ele (or something else) and then re-spec?

As possible i mean without wasting too much time and being enjoyable.

You should redo the cold video while also using SSSU Long Sword and full socket cold spell gems in gear to make the cold procs do some clearing and not just the standard harbinger damage.

Pair that with Lamha for str factor and spell damage, with Tundra Set boots for cold spell and up to 40% strength to boost lamha's bonus.

All your speeds can come from jewels instead of some of your socketed runes. 15 FHR, 4% cold spell, 2% strength jewels in your armor sockets, 15%ias, 4% cold, 2% str in weapon will give you 90% iAs from jewels alone all on your weapon, let alone mo's or whatever the weapon stats are.

i'll try that

thanks!

What is the best way to get some IAS jewels? Do you just craft them over and over again? Does the ilvl of the jewel matter?

Also is there a huge difference in the late game gear if I change out the 2 handed Void sword for a 1 handed one and pair it with an Avatar shield?

Take magic jewels and use oil of renewal on them. this way you get 15 ias jewels in no time. 2 h void changed to avarar + 1h void is huge difference in defense + damage. i highly recommend it. use force of the will with avarar shield for more dmg.

Augur

dunno if

Polar Breath

would make the difference tho.

So im level 66 in A2 terror and im having survivability issues. I either oom and die or just straight up die. I have resistances maxed and tier 5-6 of the mid game gear. Void in a T5 flamberge because of str requirements. What should i MO my weapon with? Armor? Skills are maxed werewolf form, 10 points harbinger, max feed the pack, 1 point in the others. maxed elfin weapons and 1 point pagan rites. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Edit: should i put points into acid fiends?

Are you walking or running? If you are running, stop.

If not, MO with some life after kill, weapon withv life leech and a little defense and damage reduced
