yeah i also tested him out. He has much better clearing speed now + there is option for you to go either more tanky with elvensong max or get more elemental damage by maxing mythal. But since now lifeshield is a passive and not a castable buff you cant get +12 or more skill bonus to it with precasting. that will drop your defense about 30% overall. that is kinda huge thing when running fauzt / TA.

mana issues are still worked around with mana per kill / mana per striking.

Yeah!
I think it's much better to equip some items that give procs since there is a new skill SYMBIOSIS --> I find the killspeed so good now, and I like candy procs :mrgreen:

now i have checked this with my own experience and few others aswell. Guide is still quite up to date. im gonna update skillplan tho.

enterance gear to destruction hasen't changed but Void Rw sword is kinda mandatory at the moment for getting 33% slow from it. it helps alot in terms of survaivability.

yeah but other options wont get you slow that you need since we lost defense. i have tried other options but they doesnt give you that much utility that we would want in early point of the game.

Did you try a full playthrough of wolf in 1.2 yet? The buffed twisted claw seems to be promising on single-target.

Thanks for the nice guide, I enjoyed the read: I'll be trying out a werewolf build soon.

villur, nice to see you again: I'm having fun with my new trap rat druid at the moment.
But wolves are always dear to my heart. I like the Barb's pet wolf summons, LOL.

I may have to make three Druids to try out all the shapeshifing skills: Treewarden also.

Yes i tried it. The basic consept stays the same but overall leveling as Wolf is now far more easier since damage got buffed and mana per hit got also buff.

Doing brc challenge and early ubers are very easy compared what it used to be.

Only thing i had problem was on 120 gearing since vois rw is now pretty much core item you need to have on order to survive early stages. When you get better armor and charms it gets much easier.

Block version i did last season is now basically immortal since you can get even 86% dodge with right gear :D kappa

PS. Dont even think about equiping wyands fervor before you have talxis sword :D
