Does Deadly Strike affect only the 25% of our damage that doesn't get converted or does it calculate DS before the conversion?

Damn, this looks more accessible and possibly more fun than mana wolf. Will definitely give it a try next.

Was looking at other alternatives to Cold Hunger for late game but nothing really looks as good for physical, not even
Typhoon

Yea, I was looking at Typhoon because I buffed it a bit this patch but I'm really not sure about it. The attack rating, strength, and defensive stats look great, but Coldhunger is like 40 pierce and has pretty much the same AR just from giving flat dex,,,

I've done many normal speedruns and to me wolf is the best class to use. Though bear is nice as well and tankier, there's no need to specifically recommand a switch.

Shower of rocks does apply -10% phys res on enemies now but I guess mixing cold pierce and phys pierce probably isn't worth it either.

5% from proc, it's only 10 with the relic or as a barb.

It's possible that it's the better hat for bossing, but I would always run Coldhunger when using Harbinger.

Really liking this build so far and ended up crafting a 200ed/311 max dmg great sword :).
How does this build perform in Labs? I don't see how it would work with using Harbinger throughout higher labs but clearly the top druids have used some type of wolf build.
