[Guide] D2:LoD - Fireclaws Druid Soloing Ubers on a BUDGET

[@voidmxl8473]

great vid, i was entertained from start to end *thumb* watching a build different from smiter do ut is a lot of fun and your narration was very good

[@dude_8434]

Insane attack speed dude. My Zealot runs with a Sanctuary too. 92 resist Zakarum Shield,362 defense. I also have a LightSaber with a rare damage Jewel that has 8 str, 21 lit resist, and -15 requirements. Was gonna say a decent 4th shield option might be Rhyme. 25 resist and Cannot be Frozen. Awesome Bear.

[@Beardly357]

Joe Scott - thanks. Yeah Rhyme is definitely a decent option. Sounds like you have a nice Sanctuary.

[@piotrwolny3642]

Cool ! you are real men, liked the part with thumb down. It pushed me to write this

[@oddeology1259]

Great vid. Do you have builds for other classes to do ubbers? Would it be viable to have a video series like "ubbers with every class" where you do ubbers with minimal gear for every character? I understand that in some cases like the sorceress the minimal gear is probably very hard to obtain, but if there's no other way besides bear sorc or something, then so be it.

[@Emperor_Shao_Kahn]

Why did you put a banner RIGHT over the bosses hp..... Great job!

[@davidstufflebean3285]

Great guide thanks for the help!

[@ruz54]

am i wrong or is life tap working only on phys part of your dmg so its NOT THAT GREAT on fireclaw druid? you dont seems to leech much at all

[@bierschmeckt1266]

It leaches based on atk rating

[@musafinnley4163]

you all probably dont care at all but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

[@musafinnley4163]

@Grayson Kade i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@musafinnley4163]

@Grayson Kade It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out !

[@larrybyrd504]

Awesome build!

[@DonCheezle]

word very impressive build, well made video dude

[@Beardly357]

Don Cheezle - Thanks man!

[@galdersrontgorrth]

gg build man, though not as viable on the realms with minions spawning. really like the idea and good to see another hyperion lover even though the walking speed penalty sucks without frw

[@Beardly357]

Galder Srontgorrth - Ehh, I'm not sure about the Realms thing. I did about a dozen Ubers runs on a Smite with almost identical gear last Ladder. He did fine. I'm not saying never died, because he did, as did this Druid but still finished the runs. The main difference between the two is that Smite is unaffected by attack rating. The Druid's chance to hit was good enough. There are other minor differences but that's the main thing. Pure single target with almost identical gear. Worked fine on the Smiter.

[@galdersrontgorrth]

well maybe i just suck at luring them out. because every time i try, they'll come near me, spawn a dozen minions and retreat.

[@Beardly357]

Galder Srontgorrth - something to work on I suppose. Patience is key. Lure them out slowly, inching in bit by bit until one comes out, then you retreat just far enough to where they chase after you. They'll spawn minions, sure. But once you get life tap on the boss it's all over. I found when I did it on the Smiter, I could ignore the minions and tunnel-vision the boss. I clean up the minions for each boss after I kill him. Life Tap is really the key, which is why the x6 Shael'd pb is so nice. The Druid attacks ultra fast, thus proccing Life Tap sooner (hopefully). It's also why on the Smiter (or Frenzy, or Kicksin) I like a Life Tap wand on swap - to start the fight with it active.

[@tamasszarka5165]

Very nice .and head why not jalal head ? 2 druid skill 2 shape + allres ?

[@sparker0055]

the no minions is a key mention in this, i copied this build verbatim from this video, every piece of gear, every skill, the same level, and i struggled A LOT getting the organs because of the minions. If you are doing this in realms..fire immune minions will make this very difficult

[@Beardly357]

That's fair. Thanks for the information. Having some sort of backup plan for fire immunes seems crucial.

[@jbmemphis2151]

Hey i have the option to throw a lower rolled last wish pb on this druid or shael a pb. Would you trade the ias for the higher chance to cast lifetap?

[@AndriBooks]

Am I wron, but 50% damage taken goes to mana means.. you take some damage not to life, but to mana, like Energy shield of Sorc? So it is still good for melee character to have this kind of damage reduction not using a lot of mana, but its not that Beardly mentioned..

[@niels1987s]

No, it means that some of the damage taken is added to your mana pool

[@Formus1990]

Solid, i'm tempted to try this build with hoj and maybe dragon shield bear. One question, since i'm clearly missing something. In ut i'm always surrounded by swarms of summoned monsters yet many your vids shows you alone with the bosses there. Is there any trick to avoid these summoned mobs?

[@Beardly357]

Formus1990 - there's no trick. Most of my videos arr in PlugY, a mod for single player. The minions don't spawn in PlugY unfortunately.

[@Formus1990]

I see, ty for info.

[@Vladimir_FA]

I want this bear =) great work, Man!!!

[@Beardly357]

Vladimir F - It was definitely one of the more fun Ubers builds I've completed so far. The constant wear grunting alone, totally worth it.

[@leonoracabantac7223]

Is there other alternative for lifetap gloves?

[@ozanoguzhaktanir]

I use a fireclaws druid, after seeing this. I got an anni charm. Really great. My question is: Druid seems to miss hits a lot, with 4fps fireclaws. What is the solution, is this normal? Looks like 3/10 hits meets enemie's face.

[@katze2176]

use enchantning like he said

[@expseeker]

druid misses a lot becasue this druid is 85. the ubers are over lvl100. but fireclaw druide gets killed by minions because his lech will be too low and his block will be to slow when he gets surroundedby 40 fireimmun mobs in patch 1.14 plugy or d2r

[@itanilead1200]

Isn't there like a cap of maximum increase of attack speed in items?

[@Beardly357]

Yes, but there are breakpoints you should aim for. Here is a calculator: tinyurl.com/y9p7o8jb

[@Globdeath]

nice! hello in Russia

[@DuBLD33]

Fireclaw my 1st character, about to do ubers Rip the assumption

[@Beardly357]

Hey man, sorry for the late reply. How'd it work out for you? I love Fireclaw, and will be making another one in D2:R soon I think.

[@ggd2mf603]

Ly-kan-tro-fy :)

[@chrismayes9557]

do you think this can be done on hc?

[@Beardly357]

You'd need better resistances against Mephy than I had in the video. You could probably do the exact same gear setup, but if you add in an inventory of resistance charms, you'd probably be alright. Maybe get max block too. I can't remember if I had it in this video, and I didn't talk about it, but it is something to think about. Sanctuary in a Hyperion makes it easy. Guardian Angel would be a great defensive armor choice due to it giving 20% increased chance of blocking and +15% max all res.

[@chrismayes9557]

@@Beardly357 what ammy were you using ?

[@Beardly357]

@@chrismayes9557 I was using Angelic ammy and one Angelic ring. This was for a large attack rating boost.
