In Nightmare, lv75, very smooth playing.
Very nice to play, thanks.

But ATK is little low, because I can't find SU now.
It can't be helped, but it's little frustrating。


I'm still at level 40 so not sure if this is correct but are you using an honorific crystal sword? If so make sure it is T4 at that point. It adds 300+ cold damage.

The guide could use a little bit more info on early game items - for example which boots and jewelry to use and what is the best way to transition midgame. Otherwise, it’s great!

for defence.

For rings and ammy early on probably anything with cold pen/cold spell damage. A low level ring and ammy MOed with the suggested PDR, defense, and cold spell damage would probably do fine.

When you start getting to a high enough level to use the RWs suggested

Killed Uldy in 5 minutes with worse gear than I had in 1.7 at only level 130 and only 88% chance to hit. Howl of Spirits is NUTS and we are so buffed thanks to that and Melee Devotion XD

to give another gear comparison, i had like 4500 dex in 1.7 and now i only have 2800 (so i am still gearing) and i killed him 30s faster lol, wowzers

Very nice to play, thanks.

But ATK is little low, because I can't find SU now.

I'm still at level 40 so not sure if this is correct but are you using an honorific crystal sword? If so make sure it is T4 at that point. It adds 300+ cold damage.


I use it of course.
But my gear is cheap, so low ATK...
Thanks for your Armor's guide. It is very helpful!

(taken directly from the guide....)

Attack Speed Breakpoints
Shapeshifted Druids are weird and the only thing that really matters for them with regard to their attack speed is the IAS that is on the weapon itself. This can be IAS on a Unique/Rare/Honorific/Runeword weapon as well as any Jewels, Runes, Mystic Orbs, etc. on the weapon. But not from your gloves, armor, etc.

Currently 110 with this build and have been using Twisted Claw up until this point.

Any time I switch try harbinger I lose all my sustain. As I understand the cold damage from my honorific crystal sword wont proc the life on attack. What is the best way around this? Is there a way to make the sword proc my life on attack?
