ive started to make a druid but i have a lot questions:

lets start with a couple of it:
1. whats the usual weapon to use ?
2. ornaments phystical ? enchant with ?
3. at 65 foc set will do ? or use other set ?
4. im only lvl 40 atm, but i notice very low damage then i used to be with other classes. I use foc 35 atm and a stormwand. Wrong choice ?

thats is for now

1. whats the usual weapon to use ?
1 Hand Hammer and sheild is the standard. Mr Zip uses Knuckles and goes well tho ^^

2. ornaments phystical ? enchant with ?
Melee Jwls with Skill Crit for PvP fun ^^

3. at 65 foc set will do ? or use other set ?
FoC has SCAD etc whats rather nice for the PvPers. ES mb if you grinding or need extra def in foc along with tanking. next set would be 72 then 79 mix.

4. im only lvl 40 atm, but i notice very low damage then i used to be with other classes. I use foc 35 atm and a stormwand. Wrong choice ?
Nope as BM 35 foc + as much as u can with wand/sheild best. And if You + up the 35 set may last you till 65 if u go grown up BM till early 60's. + up jwls as well

If u go grown up BM for faster lvling mb use magic jwls and move in to your 65 jwls as u get to the lvl of use... /shrug

Dont use knuckles for pvp unless you can get high resistance without a shield. Meaning you have to enchant a lot of resistance and 10+ an infinite resist costume from Theme battle. If you go 65 foc I think knuckles will do well since they are providing the resist. However get a shield too for higher levels if you decide to go the usual hammer + shield route for pvp(which you will unless you have a lot of money to up resist items). Bludgeon is better for pve, some even come with the cad stat that inceases on reinf.

ty all for help

[Syre]

np and honestly I think you have to +20 a tb costume to cap resistance with knuckles if you enchant enough. Maybe I get to that point someday

o.o what a very hard class to play.

Can anybody advice me which skills to take needed to grind from 50 to 65 ? Mostly solo i guess.
I messed it up already now Some skills didnt give me the expected results, have to reskill already now.

I have read Ray's old druid's garden, its more an endbuildadvice but maybe its bit outdated ??

tx in advance

[Skywriter]

Druidz are op!

[Syre]

hm no it was rather up to date. Unless by old u mean from playrequiem, but that one was still only slightly changed to the WP version. Druid hasn't many updates. Just grind with lct and your magic jewels from being a battle mage. Some like to use DoT to kill bit faster. I suppose u could. I grinded through as inferno but its easy when u have mates take you ws sometimes. By early 60s I was just duo with Fora when she was just a little commander

Boo

Havent played Druid for some time - and the game in general. ut have leveled a few now along with BM's and elems.

Fastest way last as BM DoTs and MS. You will need a semi ok wand like +30 lvl 40 or what ever. Just taking approacha & advance from Druid tree. Reskill wither when you hit NHW or mb ex Camp. so about lvl 60.

Way to be a better druid is the slower more missing Inferno. Much slower unless you are able to get SL then WS parties. But in the end you will understand the class better. Well geared Druid can solo WS from low 50's but not worth it due to lvl diff.

t please come back i miss you

[frykas]

"Well geared Druid can solo WS from low 50's but not worth it due to lvl diff."
now the lvl diff dont give less exp.. if mobs are higher lvl then you, you get even more exp.. but not the point..
how can you solo WS at that lvl? =O it was pretty hard for me at lvl 60+.. what build you talk about? magic i guess?

[AngelicPretty]

lol CandyApple has alot of "royal" (>>) druid treasue.

I have tryed. I geared S1 RH armour, weap, sheild most had HP in. Used DoT's mostly. Fire them off then dash up and down the room healing and pewing. never died or potted but exp/min ratio was poor.

the hammer was the druid kings sacred hammer that served many raids tanking

anywho yes WS able be done in 50's but not worth it.

[Syre]

I never rly liked sl grind, bosses slow things down but u do notice a nice boost of exp after the run. grinding sl you can get some nice m-c pieces though and breaks up open map grind. I grinded hammerinas then anti hammerinas when not being helped. Before 60s ws is 12%(?) per run to 5%(?) per.

[AngelicPretty]

Who kills bosses ST grind?
U kill first 12 mobs exit reenter. that is like 5-7% exp a run 50-58. easy and fast

thats is for now

1. 1 hand bludg and magic shield(block rate and maybe mp rec) , but with the big magic damage update knuckles did more magic damage and with lvl 50 + y tranforms are not so good, so magic attack is good to pull and maybe lvl y pb

2. physical in the future
3. 66er or foc 65
4. nope not really mp rec shield, storm wand and at 50 +30er bludg and 50er wand so y can switch

[Syre]

hm maybe, but I also don't remember 5% per go at those lvls. meh
