First at all Hi buds!

Second. I try to build my very first druid in my MXL "carrier".
I saw some older hunting banshee screenshots, videos where the guy has 10-15kdmg/projectal.
Is it still possible?
I was stuck atm. Can't beat most of the 125's bosses.
May U guys able to help improve my very first dru?
edit: What I able to farm?
Duncraig with avg 2 die/run but pretty fast
Fauzt slow, but can. avg 5+ die/run

Remove magic find runes and pefect diamonds from gear. Craft jewels using zod rune - aim for 10-15 spell focus, at least 2% cold spell damage and extra energy or all attributes.
Your cold pierce is low - should be at least 135 for farming and at 170 for bossing. Craft better gloves with +2 to druid skill levels and above 10% pierce after blessing. Craft boots with cold pierce. Use Thai runes on gear if You can't get -enemy cold resistance any other way.
8 points in harvesters is enough - if You want tankier summons, transfer some points into harvest.
TLDR = craft good jewels, better gloves and boots and get - enemy cold resistances. Also fix Your resists.

Ofc I use lum's for farming. If I bossing replacing them with Thai runes, but its not a huge improve. Also started to crafting jewels 2 days ago, and got some good ones already. I read somewhere at the forum 100 pierce is enough for farming 200 needed for bosses or this info is out dated?
Yea, I know my resists bad atm :).
