Ribcracker BEAR Druid? (For Ubers)

I've never made a bear, so I'm kind of wanting to, and I don't yet have a solid uber runner. I've made the Ribcracker Wolf Druid before, and was just wondering if it's possible in bear form. If so can someone explain to me what skills, items and requirements need to be met?

It is. I think Psuedo Kodiak or FC/Maul would be optimal. Use the High AR attack to proc CB until they're almost dead then Maul them >.>. Gear would be nearly identical to Uber Wolf.

Could you go into a bit of detail on the build? I was also thinking of using Heart of Wolverine since a friend is making a Wolf Ribcracker using Heart of the Oak.

Ribby Bear-

Up'd shael'd ribby
COH Dusk or Archon
Dungo
Jalals with ias/ all res or ias/psn resist
Aldurs Boots
any Dracs
Mara, Raven, Raven

Max Lyc, 18-WB, 18-Maul,
20 pts in FireClaw
Put 1 pt in Shockwave and 1 pt in HOW(Spirits Die Fast so 1 pt max).
So why would you put 18 in WB? Because while fightin Ubers - in the time it takes you to shift
back into a bear - your dead! The Damage/Defense is needed too.

Get some resist charms, elemental damage charms, Life/AR sc's to go with
Anni/Torch

PvM so put the rest in FC plus just 3 in each of the 4 synergies (12 pts) sounds kinda lame but if you want quick AR on the fly the Fire damage will only be slightly higher than the physical this way but the AR will be higher so it winds up a plus in the end. Smackdown with FC, when the Uber is 3/4 way dead - maul fast and growl loud.

79 pts in shapeshifting and 3 each in FS, MB, Volcano, Fissure, 3 pts in summons to get HOW
95 pt Char done at level 83. Any leftovers after 83 put in synergies of FC. With this build your only summons will be a level 1 HOW, and Ravens. I just put the HOW in because you wanted one - the build would be better if you put the 3 pts in FC synergies.

I had a lot of trouble with my bear in ubers and it just felt about a thousand times harder than doing it on a sin did. I'd imagine smiter would feel even easier.

AR is a huge issue. You don't hit fast enough to keep lifetap up, keep your health up, keep open wounds on them, etc.

Even on my sin with 7/3/3/3/3/3 kicks there are times when life tap is just dry.

It's also harder to get the resist stack and crushing blow necessary for meph.

Not to say you can't do it, if you circumvent the AR problem with gear + fireclaws + demon limb and get a lot of resist charms.

You're just making ubers about as hard as they can be while still being doable.
