Hi, thanks to my biggest trolldrop ever I now got the runes for Enigma.

I had a nice Pelt but didnt want to play Nado without Enigma.

What should I wear else?

Weapon: Hoto
Shield: 35% Spirit
Belt: Casterbelt(10 fcr) until Arach
Gloves: Magefist or Trangs
Ring1: Ravenfrost
Ring2: 32% mf ring
Boots: Natalyas, Aldurs or Wartravelers for mf, what about Trecks?
Helm: +2druid, +3 Nado, 10 fhr, 3 open sockets (from 07)
Amulet: Maras until some good +2 druid craft

no CTA yet, dont have the patience to rush for beta CTA just yet.

second slot will be maybe 07 ravenclaw for PI+CI (will be slow haha)

Do I have enough fcr?
In the helmet will be placed enough Shaelrunes for the reachable fhr cap together with spirit and PTs the rest.

Is the 99 fhr breakpoint with a flail in hand?

Mercanary weapon will be reapers for questing and then later Insight for Pits
 
Merc should keep Reaper's Tool always and Holy Freeze. Whenever you teleport on screen it will neutralize most threats by slowing everything to crawl. You'd be surprised just how little mana Windy uses. Fcr/Mpk ring would be best as Reapers gives massive damage boost. It really can't be understated. Also just get CtA, beta or not, it's far too good - just a general advice.

You should aim for 99 fcr breakpoint best achieved with hoto(40) + spirit(35) + arach(20) + fcr mpk ring(10). If you don't have fcr mpk ring go with plain mpk and get 4 fcr from some other source - either any crafted druid amulet or ring. Fhr is really not important, you get 55 + 10 from spirit and your pelt which gives you 63 - that's just one fhr frame away from 99 which is used for pvp and not relevant at all in pve. Between Oak, Merc and Bear you will be quite safe from stunlocks. Fill the head with either life or mf. Ravenfrost is also useless once you have access to teleport. For pit I'd personally go with

Your pelt with 3 ptopaz or Ist runes
2 druid amulet with fcr and/or mf (mara if you don't have one)
Hoto
Spirit
Enigma
fcr mpk ring
mf ring
Arach
Chance Guards
War Travelers

Merc with ideally
Reaper's
Andy
Fortitude
Reaper's is a must and other items are here mostly to keep merc alive. Treachery is fantastic option if you are on bugdet since added attack speed procs Decrepify from merc faster.

Fill inventory with skill charms and life scs to feel safe and fast enough and fill rest with MF scs. Depending on how you balance your character and general wealth it should have ~400 MF and decent enough kill speed and safety for p5/p7 pits. You should't really worry about resists either because you can just recast Cyclone armor and Pit isn't really known for its elemental threats anyway.
 
Can't really comment about general questing but for pits you just teleport near bosspack or in bosspack and start spamming tornado so you want your merc to be close to you, proc Decrep over mobs you hit and once you are done teleport away. If you haven't played with Enigma much you will see how it works, but you walk extremely rarely, usually only if you get stunned and can't teleport away.
 
yeah but sometimes I like to walk without repositioning my merc

or is this not a thing on nadodruid?
It's more of a "not a thing on any casters with access to teleport".

Enigma can pamper you; Why walk 5 yards away when you can teleport?
 
Is this the right skilling (with 07 ravenclaw for early game):

max cyclone armor
max tornado
max hurricane

and then max Oak before Twister? or gives this a false sense of security?

1 Point in the liferank and Bear as they are available (the liferank dies but it's nice to have a corpseeater :D )
 
Totally agree on not needing Ravenfroat and Reaper's being essential (and love that @frozzzen invoked Reaper's Tool!). I have had issues with mana upkeep with only mpk (no time traveling, so I don't have overpowered early patch version), so I have used SoJ on my untwinked 99er. I agree about using amulet/ring for extra FCR for 99%, which is very much worth it. I also think Treachery is worth considering for merc, to apply decrep faster (and because his physical damage isn't main killer with Tornado and decrep applied). Also, resists aren't really relevant in Pit with Cyclone Armor.

For reference (in case helpful), here's the readout for my 99er at level 96 after getting at least the last 3 levels in the Pit.
