Shockwave Druid Project Diablo 2 (PD2) Season 10 Beta

[@EnigmaHood]

How did you summon 4 bears?!

[@doudline2662]

Varyk looking handsome as always. I like that they made Shockwave viable, it's a really cool skill.

[@MarkLaf]

I really want this build but I have a couple questions for you : What gear do you recommend early ladder season ? I feel like spirits would be OK but other than that, I really don't know. Also, is it recommended to level up with this build ? I was planning going for druid summoner and respec around level 30'ish but I am not sure if it's worth it. Finally, if I can start up the season with shockwave, do you know in order where I should put the skill allocations first? And ONE more question : how many hrs is a Brimstone Rain worth mid-season ? Thanks

[@clouts8973]

This is preference but I prefer running ondal wisdom and soul drainer. It achieved the same goal as brimstone + Trang-Oul's gloves for less then a price

[@1TotalJabroni]

I played shockwave werebear in multiple seasons and enjoyed it. Definitely going to make it my starter again following the buffs.

[@eru4259]

heya, i really want to play bear as well, how do u start league? summoner or bear? can u tell me the how to start as druid league starter

[@Melkeku92]

Reminder that Den Mother rolls natural 2-3 sockets so a 3 socket is going to be very easy to come by. +1 3 socket also possible.

[@varyktv]

I didn't realize this until I saw the patch notes change it to 2-3. Freaking awesome actually. Much more likely to see some +1s

[@f3korn]

is the gameplay p8? otherwise it doesnt seems that strong with max eq

[@varyktv]

Nah not P8. It's definitely not the strongest build. It's fun though. I was showing the max fcr which required sacrificing 5 pdr and a skill or 2. I think with good corruptions it can get stronger. But again, not going to be an S build regardless

[@varyktv]

you'll likely have the easiest time as a pure summoner for starting out

[@eru4259]

@@varyktv after the wolf synergy nerf, how should i build my summoner? Thx

[@PsychokoreUndergroundRap]

@@eru4259 still the same.. maxed out ravens/wolfs/bears/wolverine and rest into gust. super straight forward. Nothing has changed really.

[@PWDcarrioN]

I've been wanting to make shockwave for many seasons. This might be the season to do it, might even start hc. Can you use telestaff to teleport in bear form or do you have to shapeshift before teleing?

[@varyktv]

nah can't tele in bear form unfortunately

[@PWDcarrioN]

@@varyktv damn, woulda made cs runs so much easier :D but the frw boost from hunger aint bad at all

[@PsychokoreUndergroundRap]

@@PWDcarrioN you can equip the cow king set and transform into a cow.. then you can teleport ;)

[@gregpoe]

Nice vid, would of liked you to test the new shield at 99 fcr see how it looks

[@varyktv]

Aah man good point! That -10 pierce probably works great.

[@varyktv]

thinking more about this, I don't think it's worth. Losing 75% fcr from mainhand will hurt so much, even making the 99fcr bp tough to achieve. You'll need the mainhand to make up for the +4 skills, additional 5 pierce, and all that fcr. I don't think anything would make sense.

[@gregpoe]

@@varyktv yeah... Guess its a bit too strong to pass. Not that many 1h options unless its a crazy +6/7 craft with fcr. Survivability looks good enough even without a shield

[@PsychokoreUndergroundRap]

@@varyktv + you lose that 89 Life and 64% fire res. Definitely bis weapon for shockwave.

[@benosani9793]

Big bear. Big Shockwaves.

[@vietnamvodich-p1b]

hey varyk, what s time open ss10?

[@varyktv]

Oct 25 at 10am PST is the official launch :)

[@vietnamvodich-p1b]

@@varyktv thanks bro

[@EasyGuitarNow]

very nice

[@yoboekchill4291]

Looks clunky

[@joshua7426]

D2 in general was just clunky. They've tried to mod the hell out of to make a better game, still doesn't come close to D3 or D4, hell even immortal minus the mtx was a far superior game
