Hey Chuck, any easy way to do TBR with classical TW Druid? Feels impossible without Lifeshield

Seems like it's easy to create another char then do it.

What is TBR? The BRC? Black Road Challenge? You may have to respec to Traprat with some easy RWs for defense, %DR, giving you much better survivability before you can get Lifeshield, then spec back to Treewarden. Median is all about respecs to make your life easier and finding the best approach to make your challenge/task/quest as safe and effective as possible. It's all doable with a Treewarden, just a bit more difficult than it needs to be.

Yeah, BRC is what I wanted to say. Fine, thanks for advice. Will try that for sure.

no , you don't need to respec to do it . you just have to take it slow and don't rush into big crowds . Required strategy : Lure your opponents towards you in small packs , i'm sure you can handle 5 or 6 at a time with Pummel and idol of scosglen . Kill a few , lure others , kill them , lure others . Walk near the walls instead of going trough the middle of the map . If there are to many coming towards you , run back a bit to ditch a few and just fight the number you can handle at a time . bring a barbarian mercenary with you . he may cast t-slam for crowd control , SoR to debuff opponents and war band for extra tanks . make sure he stays near you and he doesn't rush into battle to lure a lot of opponents into the fight . use blink to keep him where you are (he teleports with you) .


yes it will take a while to get all brains but it's doable . no need for respecs .

what is the gear you're using? maby that needs a boost too .

I can handle it but the Gamma brain is just impossible since I won't be able to cast IoS(maybe I'm missing some mechanics here).

is a TU . You can create TU's , you don't need to find them... check the docs->cube recipes -> unique creation -> unique uptier .

when jumping over to the gamma brain keep a constant moving . apply a "hit and run" tactics to avoid fighting to many opponents at a time . hit with idol of scosglen , run , hit with it again , run , hit again , run , hit again untill they die . Use Pummel for Gamma . get a belt full of heal pots .

do you have a lightning arena oskill rare amulet equiped ? when it stuns you can stop the running and use pummel . it should be quite easy .

since you're not using the Flying anvil for that awesome proc on attack (double mo'ed with spike nova and crucify) , you might as well go for

Gehenna RW

instead of Calypso .

hi, cool guide

I wonder if you could use 2 Xorine rings in the guide 13. XVI. Traxex - bow amazon http://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?t=491#link13
they have 15% CtR Punisher

there's no reason why you should skip 20% max life and 10% aa on a glass cannon build in the favour of 30% ctc a low level proc (it has crapy damage at level 9 ) that moves slow . by the time the punishers reach the location of your opponents they are already dead , and the proc is wasted . those rings are good , but not for this build . there are other builds that work fine with xorine rings , but not this one .

+10% to Poison Spell Damage
(3 to 5)% Chance of Crushing Blow
Slow Target (11 to 15)%
+(21 to 40) to Dexterity
+(21 to 40) to Energy

for example has a decent punisher level for early game (100%ctc) , and that actually works good untill around level 60-66 when you must replace it with

Ice Breaker

'IgnElqIgnGulVex'

-(11 to 15)% to Enemy Fire Resistance
+(172 to 200)% Enhanced Damage
(1 to 25)% Chance of Crushing Blow
Cold Resist +(81 to 100)%
Cannot Be Frozen

. going for xorines in mid game (terror difficulty) that deal half the damage of that runeword vs much stronger opponents , even at 30% ctc is wrong imo .

they are usually ok for melee builds that also need attack rating / lazy builds for more procs on the screen / builds that need more killspeed in short-mid range/builds that also invest into energy to boost the procs' damage . other than that , there are other more efficient options .
