I also made this build in response to the double strike bug, where offhand only goes off if main hand goes off. This makes double strike sort of an all-in or fold nature.

Has there been any word from the devs about whether or not the TWF feats applying to animal forms is WAI? My hunch is it's a bug that's gonna get nerfed, but I'm hoping I'm wrong...

I presume you already know this, but if not (or for those that don't), DWS Pos Spellpower is getting nerfed.

Sure, just don't want you to be in for a rude shock when the nerf goes live.

The real issue is the TWF feats; I strongly suspect it's a bug that they apply to shapeshifted builds, because who would bother with Natural Fighting anymore if it isn't? If / when that gets fixed / nerfed, your build will be SOL.

Thanks mate, I did not know that. This is going to kill my druid archer... I am a very sad Panda.

It looks like you can still get +30 Pos spellpower with a rgr 1 splash for 7 APs; still a huge nerf, but better than eliminating it entirely. And let's face it, 75 Spellpower for 6 APs was ridiculously OP compared to all the other Spellpower enhs, so a nerf was inevitable. At least as a druid, you can pick up some more from Season's Herald, right? It hurts actual rgrs more than rgr splashes, IMHO; a lot of people are unhappy the extra Pos Spellpower is all in higher tiers of DWS, which is still the least popular rgr tree.

the double strike bug, where offhand only goes off if main hand goes off. This makes double strike sort of an all-in or fold nature. You need a ton of it to make it work on the offhand and get the full value out of it, otherwise go for harder hits without double strike.

According to one report from this thread offhand doublestrikes are proccing without mainhand doublestrikes. Based on the info I have gathered, I belive the bug is only applying to the tempest capstone. If you have any knowledge or information otherwise, please share. I've tried to get more info about this a number of times but, other than that one report, no one seems to know.

FYI, Cordovan confirmed what I suspected: TWF feats applying to animal forms is not WAI, unfortunately. File under "This is why we can't have nice things."

GREETINGS! Just need to do 3 Druid lives..... Quick TR at 20.

Have:
3 fighter/ 3 monk/ 3 Pally/ 3 Rogue/ 3 ranger/ 3 Barb done. So not to worry about to hit/saves/HAMP/or HP.
All +3 tomes, Named handwraps, and GS Khopheses.
VIP for a few more months

This is the only thing must have.... 2 levels of rogue for 97% all traps and locks and doors. So level 1 rogue and usually level 11 when the +3 int tomes kicks in.

Just need a basic build. As you can see from the past lives i have mostly played melee. Willing to try caster Druid for one of the lives.....

hit me with you best shot for fast 1-20 tr, 1-20 tr, 1-20 tr.
