Not only is pierce good for spell procs, but it also boosts the flat ele dmg you get from Force of nature/Ghal belt/Auhe belt/w/e ele dmg you have on gear/charms.


This. You can also achieve much by getting flat elemental dmg since harbinger carries it. Only problem in this patch is that -all res is pretty hard to get since mo"s removed. But it works :)

-10% from charms (elemental prism+six angel bag), -30% from qor shield. With just these you are at (or close) to what -100 used to be with -40 or -50 now.

Absolutely melts necrobots, idk why people even consider going faerie

Some prebuff items to consider adding (nih runes in everything for 15min+ mark of wild duration)

Also for sockets after you hit your FHR goals, KO runes I believe are best for dmg (5% str) or Lum runes for MF, after all wolf is a farmer

Force of nature also gives 1% spell dmg for every 18 strength, so stacking tons of strength makes your procs have some bite to it ^^

Would be nice to see more to the guide than a simple showcase of what you can do. "Wolf ain't for leveling" is... A common myth. It works just fine for leveling aprt from maybe a slower grind for arcane crystals since you'll need more of them unlike an ele Druid.

If you can, provide early and mid game setups, give more info on other ubers (wolf can certainly do more than just farm), and touch the layout up with some more pictures and/or FAQs to help new players understand your choices a bit more.

So far, it looks nice, but it would be really cool to see you explore more into it as a full build and not just a farming respec. Ya know?

You are absolutely right about leveling being a myth and it can be done, also wolf can do many ubers too but he still doesn't do them as well as efficiently like elemental druid can do it. This guide is written straight from my mind and how i have done things. But! you gave me an idea. i will level character and do charms with only wolf form. this sounds pretty fun challenge :)


I will post early - mid game gear options and Wolf leveling guide while i educate myself and break some myths ;)

Thank you L H!

Reportin back. Dont know who told me once in a time that wolf cannot be used to leveling. this guy is crazy :D i havent never been playing level 24 so fast in my life! i am also counting how much i need to farm arcane crystals. ATM farmed 4 arcane crystals with andy and horadric malus. Levels from 1 to 12 was very slow but at the moment you got your bow merc + harbinger you turned into arrow shooting teleporting machine gun.

Isn't Twisted Claw a good skill for single target? IIRC there is a video about wolf using Twisted Claw farming BPR.
