Harbinger Wolf Druid Full Guide [1.3]

Neyhanis wrote:hey there few questions for wolfies out there : is it worth it getting mana leech/mana on attack to sustain harb, or should i just use the claw for big regen once in a while ? also, can i get better conversion on harbinger then 75% to magic? (i mean do more points reduce conversion even further? ^^ ) and lastly, if anyone knows : wolf converts mana regen into mana drain. so what about negative mana regen (example hellmouth gloves -50%), does that becomes negative drain = lower drain or even regen ?

i tested it and it is working ! i got my new gloves ! i can now 30+ halbringer in a row without manapulse so its a good deal for sure to use hellmouth !!
mana on kill jewels will cover the rest of the mana wolf curse!

Hey first of all love the guide, this is my first character in Sigma and it's been fun to play. Hoping to get some help, basically I seem to be stuck. Lvl 110, killed Mephisto in Hell but really struggling in act IV and some of the early dungeons.

I've been using the recommended gear when possible, Have Natha in a Sacred Antlers, Void in a Sacred Great Sword (tried Azrael but atm Void feels better), Erawan in a sacred Full Plate, Megalith boots, Pollice Verso boots, Teganze Pendant and Deadfall Belt. My rings are random uniques, which definitely need to be better but struggling to find better equipment.

I've done Ennead, the Butcher, the Infernal Machine, and the Death Projector, but get wrecked in Island of the Sunless Sea and any of the lvl 110 portals that are available.

Since most of the recommended upgrades are lvl 115 sacred uniques or require runes from higher level areas, what's the best way to proceed from here? My defense is 65k which seems low based upon other things I've read, and I've yet to find another Sacred Great Sword or Flamberge to try and creepy craft, or a Sacred Ancient Armor for Erawan.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Not sure if you've since gotten over your problem but at 110 I'd just do cows for levels and gear.

I highly disagree with you here. I have actually not found your build until after I already made my own harbinger and I've pre-crafted the Dao to twink because I thought it was good. Then I found

on accident and not only was it way faster in attack speed (I'm not sure why though because it has no IAS?) it also gave me faster kill speed due to the rainbow damage plus a free shield slot for more defense and orbing.
I kept upgrading the Dao just to see if later it would be worth its while but the Finis carried me so quickly that by the point that rainbow damage was having less of an impact I was already able to switch to a crafted sword. It seems rainbow damage with this unique is absolutely the way to go for early game. The rest of my gear was random blues and yellows and it didn't even matter.

hmmmm I'm a lvl 131 wolf myself and his guide doesn't catch up with sigma anymore due to nerfs on DoX. Try rumblealex's guide. The DoX is still one of the best option since its IAS animation is good (as long as you craft +15% AS lem/tir jewels on it, around 60% is fine). Oh wait,

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try them out tonight and see what works best. What would you socket the RW's into? One or two handed? I'm going to build a harbinger on reset as first char this time. It's a lot of fun to play.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try them out tonight and see what works best. What would you socket the RW's into? One or two handed? I'm going to build a harbinger on reset as first char this time. It's a lot of fun to play.

One-handed as you'll need more sustain from shield.

exists for a reason.

Chiming in on this for the new patch.

Is the goal of the Harbinger build to aim for the highest weapon damage possible? Just stack phys? Or would stacking cold spell damage and pierce work better? Maybe half and half?

I also looked at the 1.3 updated in the OP. We don't need to focus on mana on hit or MAEK gear anymore if we can get a mana regen swing in to the rotation yeah?

Thanks to anyone who answers!

Now not possible to get Elfin weapons, no?

No, elfin weapons is a devotional skill

This is in OLD GUIDES for a reason... It's not for the current patch...
