Set "Winter Wrath" (Druid 18/Monk 2 Bow+Pet)

[Eddexp]

Introduction:
"The anger of the nature will break any enemies ahead."

This build attempts to use several good builds which played or thought interesting over the years. I do not know if a build that uses more than 60 AP to get Arcane Archer should still be considered a druid, however the druid is a much more complete class then ranger about the caster skills and feats. That build can works very nicelly wit helf 17/3 druid/monk using shurikens and shirard too but i just prefer use bow because i like the weapon style.

Some Builds which i tried to bring something:
-Monkcher
-Quaken 'n Shaken
-Champion of Jubilex
-Strimtom's Acid Arrow
-Gingerspyce's caster/healer/quasi-tank build

Pros:
-Its FUN to play!
-Is ranged, so it takes less hits(u still can use bow in melee animal form but its kinda useless).
-Its Focused on ice and acid spell and its make a nice sinergy with a ranged decreasing the enemy moving speed.
-High damage using FuryShot(not as a monkcher however acceptable) and nice Dshot and atack speed.
-uses few statistics(Wis,Dex,Con) and WIS converges to cast spells,hit atacks,give CA/Will and make CC with paralizing arrow.
-Have a lot of sumons to help and they aren't that useless as i think before(mostly of time the shot conjure a epic ozzy and all mobs stop move to atack that). As a example my wolf can survive EE HH traps,hold some champions and pull the lever on Legendary Tempest Spine at LE wit almost 80 STR. Pet and personal sheet-> http://ddorb.shivtr.com/gallery_images/907589 .
-High bonus on resistances and caster on elemental form or High moving speed in wolf form.
-Lots of buffs and heal spells.
-CL at more less 23-26 because of the +5 of fury of the wild and +3 of elemental form.

Cons:
-Currently elf Arcane Archer Tree are nerfed losing shadow arrow bonus and final strike DPS.
-currently evasionist builds are not soo great(but i still like play with then).
-Have caster skills but w/o feats its not that good(but still works good in no legendary content) and u gona need a lot of spell schools.
-Too many ways to play since u can do Ranged,Healler or CC(I advise to keep 1 playstyle per adventure).
-lazy to cast spells w/o metamagic feats(mostly i use spells for CC or buff/heal).

Tips:
-at low levels 1-5 i try reach the Druid NW enhancement "Fatal Harrier" because its a really nice boost to dps in ranged or melee forms besides its not expensive to get.
-at mid levels 6-11 i prefer use try get AA bosting acid arrows because mostly enemies in low lv are undeaths and imune to ice. As secundary i try to get force arrow too.
-at high levels 12-20 i prefer reset the AA tree and elf one(probable gona be cheap) and use ice arrows starting to focus on use elemental ice form and ice spells too.
-at epic i still dont know if i use ice arrow or acid one so i normally reset every time i need before the quest. But mostle of the time i use elemental ice form and ice spells to decress enemys speed wit "Beguile" enchantment as acid arrow for dmg and reduce fortification.
-i dont put UMD because at lv 30 with GH and some bonus i already can have 100% chance to use ressurection scroll and i want to try see how much swin i can get but fell free to put UMD since ice elemental form get +20 to swin.

This part:

Pet Boosts:

is a nearly fully verbatim copy paste from my Champion of Juiblex post. Don't mind it I guess as I have no copyright on the English language, and you did refer to my build (thanks!). But I will say that you list ship buffs twice though (once using my term Ship Amenity, once using your term Ship Buff), so just be aware that renaming it doesn't give you double bonus.

My opinion on the build as a whole is...if it's enjoyable, who cares what others think? I'd personally not try to spread myself so thinly across so many different roles though if it were me, as diluting power never results in anywhere near optimal results. This dilution makes flavor builds even weaker than they really need to be.

I have some confusion here though: Line 10.Equips: just for wolf, actually using t3 TF handwraps and a shadow dragonplate armor wit globe of imperial blood(+3 all stats).
Does plate armor no longer uncenter monks? If you're uncentered, you're getting zero benefit from Flurry of Blows, and you don't use monk unarmed style attack speed. Not that it really matters as wolf I'd imagine with only 2 monk levels, but just something that stuck out to me.

I tryed explain the equips im using on the wolf pet. My character are using bow and outfit and the wolf use handwraps and heavy armor. I just edit the post and made another subsetion for the wolf bonus to try be more clean.

Is there some reason you skipped Overwhelming Crit?

Is there some reason you skipped Overwhelming Crit?

Short on feats...i jsut get improved argument sumoning and think on change after the argument sumoning for Overwhelming Crit but the game dont let me even i using mystic eidolos who give the feat...but as Kakow say before:

this is not a totally specialized build and i need made some choices. But even not a totally 100% archer build the fury still are pretty good and i have alot of thinks to do while the many shots are in cooldown.
