First of all, it isnt YOUR forum, you just moderate it. 2nd , if thats what you wanted, ask for that, not "tell me what to use, wait no, i wont want to use that, ill use this, no , i dont want to use the other option i gave you, im using this." Tell them "what else would i use with HoW to make it worth while over Oak?"
No, this is not my forum, I don't pay for it, but do I bring up every single discrepency I may have with your method of referring to things? No, and I'd appreciate it if you did the same for me. I asked what people THINK I should use and why, not "Say what I should use and I will use it without even thinking for myself."

sweaty if you dont mind me asking -

-whats the vitality at?
-If your rabies your obviously shapeshifting... whats lycanthropy at?
-are you using a cta?
-what level are you?
-also... what level with this spirit be... can you max it or will you be relying on +skills, and if you are relying on +skills, how many do you have to the summoning section?

Idk I am just seeing 2K life on a shapeshifted druid kinda low here.

I'ma still go with HoW though... But answers to those questions will help me understand where the life situation is coming from.

Also, yeah - Spirits die quickly but recasting them in a fast paced duel isnt too hard unless its standstill melee vs standstill melee and your spirit gets in the way and gets killed - then you just gotta keep going.

Btw heres the difference between lvl 25 oak and lvl 25 HoW:

Lvl 25 oak: +150% life
Lvl 25 HoW: +188% damage, +193% AR


COTA - give sweaty a break... Just cause someone wants their decision beyond reasonable doubt doesnt mean that that persons opinion is biased on their own beliefs.

He's entitled to his own opinion as well as the help from others and whether or not he uses it is his own choice. He could just use this thread to justify what he was already going to do. Who Cares. Either way the opinions of those who helped ended up helping him anyways.
Thank you FWI, and everyone who posted in this thread but Cota for being mature enough to attempt to help me and not bitch about the fact that I have my own opinion.

To answer your questions:
-266 Vita including gear
-28 including +skills
-No, not rich enough to afford another CTA for this char at the time being.
-Level 74 right now, will naturally be getting around lvl 90 in the near future
-Will be maxing it, only +3 to the summoning tree.

Well I actually played Softcore today. My friend has a level 91 Hammerdin on Non-Ladder USEast. It was kinda fun owning everything, actually, it wasn't. It was boring. Though, I did find time to get to some dueling. I realised all Softcore is good for IS dueling. It is really a lot of fun. I won more than I lost and noticed a Charge/Smiter is a very hard biuld to beat. By far the best biuld, IMHO, is a Bone Necro. All you see is Spirits, Spears, and Teeth, than your dead.

i was not bitching that you had your own opinion, i beleave you should, i was bitching that i was sick and tired of people asking for others opinions, then telling them that their opinion was wrong. I did vote btw, i voted Oak

Glad you had what seems to be your first dueling experience - or one of the first. Bone necs are hard but aren't exactly the hardest char out there to kill. Depends on how well you can handle your char.

Consider scrapping the Druid and making a Paladin. FoH kicks ass, but some people call it cheap or n00by. Or a Smite/Charger, or Zeal/Charger. I noticed these biulds were pretty good when I dueled for like ten minutes.

So your choosing to make a non-generic character... Ironic...

Well, thats what I have heard, I dunno, their has to be a reason everyone calls it cheap or noob. Its kinda of like in Starcraft when you Photon Cannon rush with Protoss. It works, but people scream noob/cheap...

have played against FoH? if they dont kill you in one hit, they're dead.

All you need is 90% Light resist with Tgod and you're fine.

conviction, yes, which is why you have stacked resists :)

and you can use Tgods when you see em, like put it in stash.

Bleh item packed would be more like 'ebayed' - whether or not they ebay... the name makes sense...

by skills i mean item packed And they can use their char damn good... lots of bnet players usually dont have both at the same time.

V/T is short for vindicator/templar which means smite/foh.

ic, well most characters seem to fall off the wheel from couple hits from hammerdins.
