So i am lvl 35, planning on going druid, i know i will have to reset the skills at 50. Wanted to know is anyone could make say, a lvl 50 and then lvl 60 then lvl 79 builds. So i know about how to set it up as i go.... using http://www.requiendium.com/
Also is approach, the non inferno specific, usable well transformed, or only when ur in ur "transvestite phase" Xenoa form. Is it worth getting? or just get the inferno specific one since approach is supposabley bugged -->http://requiem-wiki.org/wiki/Approach
Also... since theres all the phys def buffs, is there a big thing about Doom Guard tanks? or just get inferno? Seems like the only big difference is the extra 385-976 armor and the taunt, the other stuff ain't that great, it gives you hp regain... but its hardly any, and hp buff, well warlords is WAYY better, and (if they don't stack, they might i am not sure) then it would be pointless.

Some of mine.
Inferno lvl 50 http://www.requiendium.com/?bid=9924
Inferno lvl 79 http://www.requiendium.com/?bid=9923

With that build i could honestly see myself taking less damage as a inferno then I would as a doom guard.. the evasion ability makes up for the doom guard + defense. So other then the taunt It's probably got better survivability. The two heals give you the ability to switch back to Xenoa form mid combat and smack a heal if ur guna die, then switch back to ur inferno.
This build would be with some cloth armor thats pluses Con Acc Evasion. Knuckles that are +30 for more damage and the inferno ability is at -0.7 not maxed at -0.9, so with knuckles your perfectly at attack speed 1.0 ---> http://requiem-wiki.org/wiki/Swift_Arm --> it says max is -0.5 but http://www.requiendium.com/ --> that says its -0.9 max. Would love to know what one is correct. I am going on the -0.9 being the max. 1 below max is -0.7.

Another thing for this topic!
WHY IS THERE NO ARMOR WITH STRENGTH ON IT FOR DRUIDS. Two melee transformations and no str gear? Who's bright idea was that. The + attk on the inferno doesn't totally make up for it. Yes you will get Warlord / Berserker group buffs that + dmg, and some others that + dmg, but even so, when your looking at inferno or assassin... It is true that druids are a jack of all trades, and because they can morph back to heal, yes don't make them ass strong as the Assassin in melee dmg, however, don't make the difference in melee damage too big... it seams like its a huge gap, and.... i wont even mention the Berserker.

More info.

oh and i know i could ditch the movement speed form since I can buy a mount.... but ima cheap ass. So I want it, and I know many others will also, lol
Also do not have to use the skill calc i linked, its just most decent one I found. Hmm also realized the atk speed buff, is not able to be up 24/7 even when maxed... that appears a wee bit stupid. Should be able to keep it up at all times. Could be a hit at druids tho, to try and balance them against rogue classes. Make us attack slower for certain amount of time, in return we get heals... so i guess the area of time when the attk speed buff is down, is when you could morph to heal. This is all going on phys dmg druid, not on the magic damage or dot druid. All are good however if I wanted magical damage I would go the others class upgrade from BM not the druid. Or I would go a shaman class or a dominator or something along those lines, druid really unique because you can shape shift, so if you don't focus on it... what is the point.

Boo

You might not Need to reskill at 50...

Scrap Vivy. thats for BM's. With the 2 dashes you will travel faster than any mount currently in the game.
So yes you need both dashes and maxed. also DNA in it. PvP wise its one of our greatest skills.

Swift arm is a must for a grinding Trans druid. maxed it takes you down to 1.0 sec attack speed. Generally you will want 1H Hammer & Shield for the extra def and more so the enchant slots.

Till 60 or till you get to NHW you might find it faster to lvl/quest as BM. Using your DoTs and BM pewpews. The Trans skills will miss a bit before hand resulting in many druids loseing hope.

these days lvl1 DG just for PvP. Unless you are high generly no point going full DG.

With luck Ray will have his guide up soon >>

I never take Infernos evasion buff. I feel those points better used else where. Dosnt work PvP.

As for gear... yeah no sets really other than 70/72. 66 can be nice. I use 2x 70 (only have 4 parts) and 4x 66.

What server are you on?

If Hammy let me know and i can come help.

Kewl, yeah the villy was more a, i'd get if I didn't get both dashes, I was reading and found a forum saying the non inferno dash was bugged and sometimes sent you flying backwards. Also I RLY wana kno... are all druid skills usable well transformed, is it just the inferno / doom specific that you cant use at certain times or can you only use inferno specific skills when turned into inferno, like can you use the non inferno dash well in inferno. And yes I am on the PK server Hammy. I actually remade when i noticed no str gear..... so i need to switch things back over to my druid... ended up with like a 25 rogue war and temp lol.
As for "rays guide" I saw people talking about that on old forums... soo my take is its been in the making since mid 09?
Oh and I forgot about bludge lol yea they give str http://requiem-wiki....wisted_Bludgeon
Was thinkin staff / knuckle where only, i'm dumb =p

When transformed you can only use skills under that Trans tree.
ie Inferno only can use inferno skills.. no dg, no druid no BM skills or buffs etc.

Rays guide has been around for some time but is kept up to date as of say a month ago/or when we last where able to post on those forums.

Max both dashes is a must.

As inferno each lvl u get an attack bonus what in some ways off puts the no Str etc on gear. For most its the no HP on much of the gear - more so if you go DG latter on.

Druid is generally much harder to play well than any other job. And mid 60's up gets hard grind wise compared to most other jobs.

Still once you get 70/71+ you start to go real well in PvP. High def, HP able to cap resist and still damage ok... Not many class especialy casters can with stand a 79 Sins scud combo and get away.

Oh if you have mall points to get skill resets then think about Maxing Acid and RoB maybe other DoT's as well. just those 2 skills alone will max you in FoC and other BG's rather fast. Might not kill ppl but that damage soon adds up in contrib.

soo I should skill reset, and max the dots for leveling, at least till 50 maybe 60, then reset again........ dots for mass kiting and some pvp, right? I wana go trans druid at 50 tho, even if its challenging, I mean, its entire reason I play the game, a game that you trans into something kewl. I didn't really like other classes besides rogue, but the stealth bugg pushed me towards trans druid! I like things that are hard to level but are really fun after, I am becoming premium member anyway.

Boo

can I make one then Ray?
With your help and referencing your guide?

And more on subject yey yes go Trans druid will make you a better all round druid in the end. Its harder/slower to level at the start but you will know the class way better and by the time you are 65+ could b a great PvPer.

My favorite class. Even when there no BG on and you cant be bothered grinding (me always :unsure:) you can always go climbing. Find a druid freind and go climbing have duels on the Nova rooftops dashing from one to the other or high above all others on towers AA melee.

-EDIT-

Link to Rays old guide.

my old druid ornies are terrible lol xD ned new ones with moar crit lol.

yes yes yes I know I've been saying I'll go druid again a lot xD

but srsly elem is boring me atm. endgame pvp is boring and iritating. There are a few reasons I?m not changing back...yet....

I got a Tyrant wand on a guild raid, I'd feel bad if I wouldn't use it since not everyone has it (points at dragan -.-) and I got it bound...
I sold my 66 set to a friend and I'd be stuck with my tyrant set so that is suckage.
I'm a capped elem and a manager and gotta think bout my guild and the need for capped elem buffs lol ><''

tbh I'd be happiest if I had a 79 druid and a 79 elem ><
