Suicide Druid Build

**[The Reaper]** · 07-13-2005, 07:14 PM

Suicide Druid
Fun Cheap build if you're bored of diablo.

Skills: 1 into Werewolf
Rest into anything you want

Gear: 1x4os crystal sword with 1xDie Fire, 1xDie Cold, 1xDie Psn, 1xDie Light

Now most of you know that a shapeshifter can never die in one hit, because you must first transform back into the druid form first. The facets activate after you get hit once (so that you transform back). THis way if you keep transforming you can keep releasing the facets.

**nujabes** · 07-14-2005, 09:11 PM

when the wolf turns back into human it releases facets?

**[The Reaper]** · 07-15-2005, 01:30 AM

Yup, that's why it's so cool, you can keep releasing the facets without actually dieing.

**logic.** · 07-15-2005, 01:38 AM

haha this sounds so cool
might try it out sometimes

**Koolaid_dude** · 07-15-2005, 01:43 AM

thats awsom, i was about 2 quite but i have 2 try this first.

wut level do u have to be to finish the build?

**Lux Aeterna** · 07-15-2005, 05:36 AM

Probably high enough for reqs for the gear.

**Silver Ice** · 07-15-2005, 05:40 AM

how about a 6os crystal sword with those die facets and maybe fcr+fhr gear for the rest so you can transform back very quickly. nice idea though, i never knew that about facets...

**Keitaro** · 07-15-2005, 01:26 PM

If i might come with a suggestion.
Shockwave bear with casting gear or surviving gear. Lot of hp, stun and FCR. This is something i just thought of, so the build maybe need some improvements.

Skills:
20 Werebear
20 Lychantrophy
20 Shockwave
20 Oak Sage

Gear:
Helm:
Aldurs socket with Death poison and cold
Weapon:
Hoto
Shield:
Stormshield death light facet (light here, because of best trade value later)
Armor:
CoH
Gloves:
Trang Ouls
Belt:
Arachnid
Boots:
Sandstorm
Amulet:
Maras
Rings:
BK rings or Sojs

The fire facet is a waste since its a meteor. Need more resist, get 9 5% small charms.

**[The Reaper]** · 07-15-2005, 03:17 PM

Why would you try to post a guide here? You're supposed to die easily so you can keep casting the facets, you're not supposed to live.

**Keitaro** · 07-15-2005, 03:33 PM

If you die to easy, then it would not matter at all. Anyway, only tryed to be constructive. sorry if that was wrong.

Anthrax · 07-22-2005, 07:29 AM

you could possibly make a elemental druid (not a full leveled, just enough in the elemental stuff until you can use gear for suicide ) then just put one point into shapeshift so then you can fight a little and when you die boom they die.

**[The Reaper]** · 07-22-2005, 12:01 PM

You can't use elemental skills as a shapeshifter. And the point of this build is that it's fun, and cheap, so there's not really a need for expensive gear.

**Shibbied** · 07-22-2005, 11:45 PM

I say u use a 6 os pb, 4 os monarch, some 3 os helm and some 4 os armor.. 6 cold facets, 3 fire, 4 psn, 4 light..

**nujabes** · 07-23-2005, 12:06 AM

i thought the facets dont stack. only 1 kind of each only.

**Lux Aeterna** · 07-23-2005, 02:54 AM

I'll try this later, it'll be good if you dont die between human / wolf. :/

**Keitaro** · 07-23-2005, 12:05 PM

Even though you dont like my constructive advice, i give one again. This time, maybe in a direction you would like it. Though this is not for the 100% poor people.

Make a sorceress, and give her a low strenght required beast runeword weapon. Max Cold Mastery and Lightning Mastery since those skills boost the facet damage. Dont max firemastery, since meteor takes to long time to get down. Also, the rest of the skillpoints can be used for shiver armor and its syn-energy so melee attackers take addisional damage and gets slowed (unless they have Cannot be Frozen abillity". Give the sorc FCR equipment so she reach 105% or 200% FCR. Make sure she got 1 death light, psn and cold facet on her. :)

Now if this was not a good idea, then i give up

**[The Reaper]** · 07-23-2005, 02:33 PM

It's not, because the whole idea for the druid build is that you can release the facets without dieing, it would be pointless if you had to keep dieing and getting your corpse. with druids you can keep releasing the facets without actually dieing.

.....
Thats why i sayd the sorc must have a beast runeword wich gives you the shapeshifting abillity. Its exactly the same as the druide, only here you need the runeword to shapeshift, and as a bonus, your facet damage is boosted.
Consept is the same, right?

**In[F]ec[T]eD** · 07-23-2005, 08:32 PM

this is a pretty cool build if your bored of this game...i might try it sometime and reaper does it do good in pk games?

**[The Reaper]** · 07-23-2005, 08:59 PM

Sometimes it is, but it's hard to kill people with max res like a barb or pally. It's not really to duel someone 1v1, just stand outside and watch someone try to hit you. SOmething like a zealer or ww that have consecutive hits is not going to work well with them, but I've seen it kill some sorcs pretty easily.
