First time SS wolf druid, question about Feral

[:1]I'm curious how the Feral Rage skill works. Does the lifesteal/dmg/AR boost only work for the Feral skill, or does Fury benefit from those increases as well? (Like the Barbarian's Frenzy speed increase gives berserk a speed boost).



Because if fury doesn't at least benefit from the lifesteal, it's a fairly useless skill (for my character that is).|||The ED/AR is specific to Feral Rage, but the lifesteal and FRW is active while using Fury if the orb is still spinning. Just hit with Feral every now-and-again to keep the ball up.|||Yes, it works similar to Frenzy. The life steal and increased move speed will be carried over to any attack you use, but not the increased damage and AR%.|||Lifesteal carrying over is a nice feat, making it a typical "1 point miracle" with some + skills in it. Shame the increased damage isnt carried over though, since feral or Fury are not exactly the "whoa" skills for dealing damage.|||Quote:

If you use HoW the %ED difference with for example a Fana Zealer is not that big with 20 points less spent.|||Yeah I like having 1 point feral for life steal and use fury for main killing. The leech life from feral helps your wolf leech well when lifetap does not kick in from dracs. That is the main reason why 1 point feral is useful in the first place. But fury is the main skill for a wolf imo.|||Quote:

well if you use fury you have a single point in feral anyway .|||Quote:

with 51 % deadly...|||I'm very curious to know what weapon you used to get that kind of damage. Even with a Eth BotD Berserker Axe (1h) I don't come close to that kind of damage, so I assume you're using a 2h eth BotD weapon.|||actually it is eth 3 sox tomb reaver with 2* 40 ed 15 ias jewels. it hits at 4 fpa fury

botd can give you higher damage but at slower speed. only worthy mentioning is botd in great poleaxe. other weapons are to slow or
