Harbinger Wolf Druid Full Guide [1.3]

Just a simple question, but are you running, or walking? running causes you to have 0 defense and always get hit.

Important: In Diablo II, when you run, attack always hit you and chance to block is reduced to 1/3. Walk speed is much improved in Median XL though, so you might consider walking.

it's from Block and Defense in the documentation section. at 110k defense you should be able to survive act5 trash without much trouble.

Other than that, have you completed the Ennead challenge or the Black Road Challenge? They give you access to skills that are necessary to survive end-game content.

Currently using the cheap farming build with the sarandeshi hellcaller and a crafted shield. My survivability seems ok with 67% avoid, 42% dr, and 200k defense, but my damage seems a little lacking. As it is i can scrape by in dest TA but i would like to make the runs a little faster.

Do i need to just wait and get lucky and hope carsamyr or qaraks will drops or what? I tried sacred flamberge with gehenna, but the damage increase isnt worth the defense drop.

Thanks in advance.

best value in that situation is to run cow runs for finding items and leveing to 121. when you hit 121 and get talxis "shark" runeword on long or broadsword your damage basically triples. just make your character so that you can run dcows witouth dying alot and build it up on that

Ok. I havent even attempted teganze yet for a xis rune. Should I be ok? Also, dest baal? Thanks again.

Since later on you literally sleep on elemental runes, its easy to make

Khanduran Royal Pendant

and

Drekavac

.

In General came to the conclusion: build on the werewolf - complete bullshit. Build on tree in 100 times better. With equal gear the tree in better times. A werewolf dies with 1-2 strikes, damage scanty, farm ubers is impossible. The tree with the same gear is easy to farm ubers, calmly fulfilled the task of the Black Road. Next I will play in the tree. Perhaps at a very steep gear the shifter something can.

could be viable. you can stack 6 x 15% IaS from jewels and another 30% from MOs. which is 1% more than the 219% breakpoint for 3fpa.

I got a 2nd hellcaller and MO'd some IaS.

► Show Spoiler

Damage is low compared to shark + bloodlust, but it's definitely exhilarating to go so damn fast. For Fauzt or Tengaze it shows, but in TA the health pool is so small that the procs are enough to clear everything. So many procs.

The build itself is fairly cheap too, except for a Auhe rune in the armor, but I bet it'd still be okay-ish with

Erawan

I believe it's not an easy build. But it's fun to play once you get it right.

480% FHR because I haven't gone and replaced my 15% jewels with something else yet..

Excatly.

to Akill: Also Treewarden is OP at the moment. has been from last season allready. this build is not supposed to be op all around do whatever you want kinda thing. if you like something like that go ahead and build necro or treewarden and come back here when they are getting nerfed

Is 275% ias with Dao/2h overkill. I'm not sure what the breaking point is.

110% attack speed on weapon is enough. attack speed on other itemns doesnt work on wolf.
