|||Passion (perhaps even in a 2 handed weapon? 
) comes to mind with Zeal and Berserk. If you don't mind using normal attack maybe use one of the weapons that has a Wind skill like Windhammer or Horizon's, and synergize that? Or an upgraded +3 Athena's Wrath.I assume you max HoW?|||Zeal and Berserk are great, but it limits me with mods from Passion. I thougth of synergizing Windhammer(I don't have Horizon's), but it's 2h, almost all chars I play use 2h stuff this time want to try a 1 handed weapon. Also, Twister isn't that great damage wise to be wort the synergy points and I'll be lacking Grizzly. Pros are that Windhammer has good attack speed and 50% CB, so this can make worth it.
And yes, HoW will be maxed. Actualy, planning to max it first, cause by the time it'll be maxed I'll need all AR I can get.|||Passion pb but im wondering would it be good to wear ravenlore and use geddon while using zeal? Ill sub this post since I want to learn more about this build.|||Well, main idea was to have a strong Grizzly, a merc, maybe even Iron Wolf(using A2 guy equals making a Hammerdin). And skills would be like this: 20 Grizzly, 20 HoW, 5-20 Dire Wolves(synergy to Grizzly). Other points are spare. Ofcourse I'm only on the planning step right now, so everything can be changed. I'll wait for more opinions.
|||Yes but I think you will need a strong element too like fire and decent -efr since fissure and geddon has cool down time anyways so really what could be wrong with using geddon in this build? Its just my personal thought that might be good but im new to this build too so im staying subbed to your post so I can also get advice too.|||Quote:Zeal and Berserk are great, but it limits me with mods from Passion.

The mods on Passion are not that bad actually. The flee and blind can be nice since with HoW and unshifted your life won't be that high. Also, since Druids block rather slow the fact that Zeal is uninteruptable really help as well. I wouldn't make it in a Phase Blade though, because you can hit a x/6 Zeal with higher damage but slower weapons as well. One thing you do need is +3 all skills from somewhere. Highlords is somewhat mandatory, and it really would help if you could even get just a low BK, so you don't have to sacrifice the helm slot for this (Guillaume's reigns here of course). The last +skill can come from the armor (Skin of the Vipermagi for example). If you can't get the BK ring and really want the Guillaume's a last resort could be the Shield from Sigon's set. With Zeal your block speed doesn't matter anyway, but it's not a great option...

IMO if you are going to make 'alternative' melee builds you need an Act 2 Might merc with a Reaper's, otherwise it is better if you just make a Fire/Summon build coz your melee damage will be very low. But for your summons you kinda need the same Act 2 merc too, so... uhm oh well... nevermind...|||Quote:

Not a bad idea, when you mentioned -efr, 'Obedience' comes to mind and I just have one made in a Cryptic Axe. It lacks speed and is 2 handed, but has ctc Enchant for AR boosting, high damage, nice amount of CB, - to target's defence, all res, stats... Nearly perfect weapon if I'd play with Geddon.
But I'd have to sacrifice all my skill points to fire, meaning no strong summons.

Ye, ofcourse it would be better to have A2 merc, I just wanted to try out something realy wicked. Nah, I'll just stick with A2 merc instead.
Speaking of Passion, a Zeal druid must be fun, bet I don't feel in need of full-cycle Zeal. One point works for me. Hm, and I think of making it in a Cryptic Sword...|||You could make some cool Zeal variations based on druid elemental skills:
- For a fire approach, max Molten Boulder and Fissure and wear a Phoenix shield for a synergized lvl 22 Firestorm triggering all the time. With Infinity merc this could get even cooler, and also allow you to use Oak Sage since you won't need AR with Conviction aura. With remaining points you could get a Grizzly or max Volcano for more Fissure damage (the AoE should be really helpful).
- For wind, maybe hurricane and 2x carrion ring? You'll have a good cyclone armor, so I reckon it should be quite a safe build. Would work well with a Reaper's merc.
Just suggestions. I did make the fire version though, and it's pretty cool.|||The problem is that I don't have runes past Ist.
