Well i had admired bears for quiet a while but i had never got around to make one (yes im a little late) so I've seen them do quite well in .9. However knowing that defense is now an issue in PvP maybey a PvP Mual Bear could work in .10? Tell me what you think.
Anything is possible.
With wind druids being more popular in 1.10 there are not that many discussions or ideas being exchanged for maul bears.
Then again not much has changed since 1.09 for a maul bear, but there are some new equipment choices.
Like someone mentioned, now it is about chasing casters and landing one hit kill attacks.
So attack speed is important because you don't have the time to swing away at a caster when their attack can kill in one or two hits.
Also attack damage is important so that you kill in one or two hits.
Therefore rabies and fireclaws are more viable since they can inflict alot of damage in one or two hits.
There are not that many weapon options available for a fast and hard hitting maul attack, especially at 4 frames.
You will have to sucrifice weapon speed for damage and aim for a 5 or 6 frame maul attack.
Also aim for is very high or maxed resists, not that easy, since this is important now in 1.10 against casters.
Then again anything is possible with time and effort and I would like to see a successfull maul bear build.
I still have a maul bear and will improve my maul bear over time.
