Maulageddon druid?

A while ago I tried to make a druid who used shockwave to stunlock people while armageddon killed them. However, it didn't work all that well, mostly because shockwave can't be cast all that fast and can be blocked. However, I just recently realized that maul gives stun. So what about a druid with high armageddon damage using a six shael pb for a 4 frame stunning attack? The major damage comes from armageddon so it's not important that the phaseblade does almost none, but even that tiny damage keeps them stunlocked because with swirlies any damage forces them into hit recovery.

My only questions are:

How many points to put into maul for a satisfactory stun?

How much should I use caster gear for +skills and more geddon damage vs melee gear for survivability?|||Quote:

I will need more advice on this build too so I will sub to your post.|||Quote:

Sounds cool, doesn't it? I've been giving it some more thought and I think I would want to use heart of wolverine and probably max maul after all for the attack rating, and definitely use angelics. Even with +skills maul wouldn't quite give enough attack rating.|||Is this a PvP idea? I think you would end up doing a lot more damage as a Fire Claw bear and using Maul occasionally to get 1 charge for stun on swing. In my experience, Armageddon's damage is too erratic to rely on to kill anything.|||Yeah...probably true. Still, I've done fireclaws (incidentally, I like to put one point in armageddon for a nice twist on the traditional fireclaws. I find it useful and intimidating.) But that's a good idea about the maul charge. I forgot that just the charge imparts stun.
