no offense but Stoutewolf deserves a lot, if not most of the credit in all fairness, that build is his to claim, Kiba just made it look good...like Will Smith : )
Other people may have modified it to their liking--I mean, I changed fireclaw around to my taste too, but I never woulda started if it weren't for players like Cold Army.
thoughts...
I'd say in general pubs, you'll have a pretty good shot owning with fireclaw too vs most players. With 9xShapers and lvl 42 Fireclaw I can dish out an ez 17-18k now (unless I need anghellics) with lvl 23 enchant, of course. For instance, max resists isn't good enough to not get owned at that level, they have to pretty much increase their resists+sorb or they'll still die 'cause you swing way too fast and powerful for most char's to take... especially windies, as soon as cyclone goes even with max resists, they're dead.
Also, I joined a Shaper duel with 3 other wolves with ebotd/ss today, and even though I had nearly 6-8 levels on them, at 75 resist they still got owned big time, so unless they decide to go all bm you still have a good shot : )
And yeah, I realize there's a lot of people who'd go "I'ma just get my infernos and sorb etc" to pwn me, but on the other hand I sorta enjoy seeing how far people have to keep going to win... it makes me happy when they have to keep running back to the stash to add more ><
