Werewolf PvM Weapon

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

Has anyone tried Stormlash? Its very popular with the Kicksins - the interesting stats are

Base Speed -10
+30% Increased Attack Speed
+33% Chance of Crushing Blow
20% Chance To Cast Level 18 Tornado On Striking
15% Chance To Cast Level 10 Static Field On Striking

The Static field kicks in taking monster down to 25% life!
Could be socketed with Shael for more IAS or Ber for more Crushing Blow.

Stormlash is a good option and there is a specific build around it to synergize the Tornado.

Not quite. Static removes 25% of current health, [FONT=arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]and it will not take a monster below 33% health in Nightmare and 50% in Hell. [/SIZE][/FONT]

So how much would the ribcracker be worth, normal and upped +shaled

You forgot to mention it's effected by lightning resist and does nothing to LIs.

Linnis- Ladder or non. Ladder it'll be pgems for an average one then just get the runes to up it. NL is a different story since you can't up items on NL. The hardest points is finding someone who even has an upped Ribby for trade.

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

well on ladder... how many pgems is one worth?

 

[Jinchuu]

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

I got mine for 1 pgem.

Ribcracker is a no brainer, but what happened to ebotd GPA/ GA, More top end dmg and leech.

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

I suppose that those are both okay choices from a damage point of view, but why would you waste the runes/wealth to acquire one when you could use an upped ribby? It's so much cheaper and has other good pvm mods as well.

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

I agree upped ribby is on the top of the list on any wolf build. I didnt see thread named "best" werewolf pvm weapon...
If yer new to the wolf, in which our friend sounds like he is... then grab that ribby and dont look back!

 

[Bladewind]

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

Interesting idea. I already gotten the IK boots, belt and Gloves. I guess the Maul isn't far off but the armor hmm..


Also for a source of LT, will using an LT dagger be sufficient ? Granted it cost me like 1k gold per cast (hella cheap !), but I don't mind really as I have no spare dracs, yet.

yes masta, no bacon on the salad, no bacon on the salad masta. i'll be goin' on back to the cotton fields now...

HAHHAAHAaaaaaaAA... I can't believe I missed that ROFLness. nice, dude.. way to go there ;P

no kidding lol... wut happened to every weapon that "isn't" a Ribby >.<

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

They aren't worth pgems .

Of course you can use Tomby/EBotD if you want the damage.

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

Ribcracker is the best budget fury weapon easily. But it really doesn't compare to an ethy tombreaver. 4 frames range 4 huge damage, huge resists, huge magic find. I use it with guillame's face when entering ubertrist. My upp'd ribby/jalal's friends can't keep up.

 

[Liquid_Evil]

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

I'd really think the crushing blow on Ribby would outweigh the increased damage of the Tomby in ubertrist. Do you have other crushing blow in your gear setup besides GFace to even it out?

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

gores (thinking about goblins just for trist). and yes it tears mephisto down so fast (4fpa), faster proc's of lifetap, faster crushing blows, ect. It's so good I am considering going with a non-eth 3s tombreaver and putting a ber in it, just for uber trist (but then again I hate when weapon breaks in there).

Here is a question for all of you uber tristing fury druids.
-Do you find yourself switching to feral rage once you get mana-depleted and surrounded by ghosts? I find that I do that since I don't like to waste my attacks on the surrounding minions. Just curious as to what other people do.

I keep Feral on left click always and Fury on right click.

So I'm just getting back into D2 now but I've been refreshing my characters ever since I started playing in 2002 but I need a quick reminder....

Does the Ribcracker need to be shaeled to reach a bp? I think I remember I had a rare jewel that was like 30something% ed with 15%ias and +something small to fire damage (I think) and put it in an upped Ribcracker. Does the 15% still get it to it's bp?

 

[Verashiden]

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

Yes, a xx/15 Jewel will hit the next BP

 

[SPIDERfrank1]

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

ok thanks Verashiden!

Re: Werewolf PvM Weapon

Maybe I am doing something wrong on the calculator, but at 50% and 70% the ribcracker has the same 5fpa regardless of WW level over 20. Is there something I am missing in terms of getting to another break point (unless the calculations have changed since the calculator was last updated)?
