I had posted this previously but the old forum appears lost so I thought I'd re-post.

I love my wolf-form druid for melee and survivability. She does tons of damage and can self heal or even heal the party in a pinch.

A couple of things to know about wolf or bear forms - the damage depends on what is in your main hand only. Don't bother with TWF. Also, carrying a shield gives 4% doublestrike. Together with 30% bonus attack speed makes for lots of DPS.

The damage depends on what form you are in wolf or bear, not so much your weapons, unless you wear handwraps. Then you get monk dps. This sucks (1d3) compared to wolf (1d10) unless you have ample monk past lives. The build below is for someone with monk past lives. But if you don't have them, then use scimitars or other weapons. Just not handwraps.

You have to take improved crit blunt for wolf form - even though you do slashing damage no matter what weapon you hold. I took IC slash and had to do a feat swap.

The 1.5x weapon damage from greensteel etc counts.

Use the "spells" to improve your attack dps like Baiting Bite.

Have Fun!
