Cold Werewolf Druid

On attack will work only with Twisted Claw and it is very low amount compared to on striking which works with every hit you do with any attack.

Has anyone tried this build on labs?

I'm currently at t9. Using Charged Strike for general clearing, twisted claw for bossing and harbinger to home in on erynies. I have around 18k hp, but having a hard time getting my resists over 85% though.

Ok, so I'm working on a labs setup for this build. So far I've been able to clear up to t12, haven't gotten a t13 stone yet. For this setup you need to abandon any pretense of using cold spell procs for dmg, since we need to use

Also, durability is a VERY serious issue starting from t11, and your weapon won't be able to survive a full clear. This problem has two solutions.

Thanks for sharing. When you get to 260 all res for T14, do you think this setup will be enough damage-wise?

The weapon should be socketed with 15 IAS + dex jewels in order to hit 3 fpa bp. You can also go for 2fpa however that will require multiple IAS relics like

Sockets: gems until 90% max res on fire/cold/light. Rest amethysts or Io runes. In that sense, each individual +max res on gear is equivalent to +5% dex, since it will each remove the need for one gem.
Remaining MO space can be filled depending on whether you need more hp (

). I have around 19k hp with this setup, but I'm still missing Lazarus charm.

Also, durability is a VERY serious issue starting from t11, and your weapon won't be able to survive a full clear. This problem has two solutions. One is expensive and the other is a horrible time sink. Either get a second cold blood and shield of hakan, or craft a jewel with 15% IAS and Indestructible. A third solution could be using two

on cold hunger, and MO IAS and 3 marksman's eye, and replace a jewel with a Ber rune or indestructible jewel... But sounds even more expensive than the first one and you lose 150 LoA.

Thanks for sharing. When you get to 260 all res for T14, do you think this setup will be enough damage-wise?

Still haven't gotten to t14, but up until t13 mobs die pretty fast, and I've killed all bosses (including unstable anomaly) except phoboss 'cause he hasn't shown up yet. Corrupted barbarian/assassin/Amazon die quite fast. Will have to see how much dmg I'll need to sacrifice for the resists.

Island of the Sunless Sea

This one is pretty easy once you realize you can target the invisible monsters with Harbinger even when you can't see them.
Let me get this straight, you need to use Harbinger every time to kill those?
Because I'm pretty much dead after getting close with it.

Can you hit the 3 fpa rate with a shrine crafted crystal sword that has a base of 70% ias? (50% ias prefix + 20% ias luck roll)
