Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Some differences in the PS3 version vs the PC, but builds work on either just fine. I've kinda gotten addicted to shopping, got a 38 seraphim (borken), 38 TG (Shopper build) redoing my seraphim and my Dryad, thats level 23 now. Almost got her bargaining to 75 with only 23 hardpoints into it. Its like you find the +1 all skills, buy some of those, put em on, find some more, put those on, then start finding +2's, replace and add more, shop more, find more +2's, then start finding +3's, etc I've gone through about 12m gold so far, shopping. Making bargaining suits, battle suits, fashion suits...uh, wait, did I say that out loud? :o So, its going smoothly. I'm just freakin amazed at how fast the right build on a dryad kills. Both of these builds are just :drool: Played with some of my clan members, 1st one never got to really do much because I killed most things off screen. If any got through because of the largeness of the group, they died before he could get to them :) Other clannie was 10 levels higher than me, and we rushed through the Unique Mount quest with me at 20, him at like 30. He lives upstairs from me but all I heard him say was, "Damn you kill fast."

 

Kudos to those of you who make and post builds. :P is for you and I am most certainly not worthy. :bow:

So what is the best Nature lore or Combat Dicipline? And how much Hard Points should I use and which should I master?

 

I will start making this build already. Thanks for the help :sigh:

Why those 31 points? And still, should I use Nature Lore or Combat Discipline?

you'll need the points for your ca-mods

 

it's your choice:

naturelore= higher barkskin

Combat Discipline=0% regtime+more damage

Chrona, considering I have EP on several characters already, how do you feel about substituting alchemy instead to unlock bargaining? I play on 360, so I know alchemy is more of a pain to use, but it may be interesting to use something else for once.

I never tested alchemy, but Chattius told me something about this skill. For this build I prefer EP.

Does Cabalistic Voodoo Lore or Focus enhance your third buff, the one with the pet. ie, which one affects the pets damage, etc?

Link to comment
 

with the focus you'll get a higher pet without penalty

I'm thinking that since my friends are on PS3 and I have the game on there too, I'm going to ditch constitution for cabal focus. There's no HC or closed net on ps3 :( so really, while con will give my hps and in combat regen, dryad is so damn buff defensively, I'd like a distraction that can take some hits while I just kill everything around :)

First of all, hello everyone and many thanks for the builds you're all sharing, I've been lurking this forum for some times now and my attention gone to the dryad after that aggressive "soulreaper" Inquisitor I've enjoyed playing (yay for millions of atk/def lol). So, coming to Dryad, and Putrescine's thread, then followed Chrona's posts : I've noticed that (underligned):

First off, Putrescine your Druid build is very good I'd even go so far to say it kicks ass. I walked through silver with only one problem. That was more my error than any short coming on the build. The Miasma Mist Boss got on top of me and decimated me unexpectedly. But so far that has been my only death. All other Mobs and Bosses I've felled with no problem. And with this build the Nameless Guardian is a joke, just use Tangled Vines then spam Ravaged Impact and repeat it. When the two Nameless Gurdians wake just get them close to each other and then use Tangled Vines to root them both in place (This is the same for every boss other than the Miasma Mist). And so far in Gold nothing has even made me need to bat an eyelash(Just like in Silver). All in all this build if followed it makes for a very fun and easy play.

 

I do have a question over a part of the build.

 

For the silver mod slot on Darting Assault you have Throwback, for me it never seemed all that useful. Any time it would activate the mob would get pushed at me and not away. Counter productive but by no means detrimental or even bad, just seems with that maybe Wounding would be better since you get a damage effect even if it is with a lower chance to activate. And I wouldn't have mobs flying Mach 5 at me.

 

For those interested in playing a Druid (this is my first one) This build is very good. I'm only using items I find in the game as I do not have a shopper character so no major or amazing pieces found yet most of it is pretty normal except for 3 set items, no plus to all skill items yet.

 

With only one rune in Ravaged Impact and Darting Assault the regen time even with armor on and two buffs running is still very low. For RI is 0.9s & DA 1.3s regen time. Granted when starting out it was higher around 2.0s regen time but as I placed skill points and the mods to decrease the regen times from the buffs it dropped drastically. I've yet to ever use Goldenglade Touch as I've never needed it because of the HP regen from Ancient Bark and the life steal I have in rings and slots. I have a massive amount of potions saved up from buying them every time I go to a vendor and from picking them up from drops, but since I never need to heal I have over 3000 in light health potion and over 1000 in health potions.

 

I'll post the stats on my Druid from this build.

(first set of numbers are minus gear/buffs, second set is with gear/buffs)

 

level 49

 

Deity Forens

 

Strength 160/161

Stamina 178/179

Vitality 160/161

Dexterity 273/287

Intelligence 196/197

Willpower 143/143

 

Attack 209/504

Defense 273/1128

Magic Attack 196/197

Magic Defense 143/143

Hit Points 2688/2695

Regeneration 59.7/59.8

 

Tactics Lore 44

Concentration 1

Capricious Hunter Focus 44

Nature Weaver Focus 44

Combat Reflexes 5

Ranged Weapons 2

Armor Lore 12

Constitution 12

 

Ravaged Impact level 1 - modded as guide states

Darting Assault level 1 - modded as guide states

Forest Flight level 1/8 - not yet modded

Dust Devil level 1/4 - Bronze mod only

Sinister Predator level 29 - modded as guide states

 

Tangled Vines level 1/8 - modded as guide states

Goldenglade Touch 1 - Bronze mod only

Ancient Bark level 24 - modded as guide states

 

I plan to follow the build for the most part, I don't plan to make any major changes.

 

The most important part of this build to me is spamming your 2 main Combat Arts and keeping the regen time as low as possible.

Wow, I clicked on Put's thread and got...Chrona's build? Lol, well I have a question for either Put or Chrona: What would be a reasonable regen penalty to pump ancient bark and sinister predator to? I know Put said PUMP IT HARD but I don't want to blow regen times out of proportion.

For those of us who read too many runes to begin with the regen times are getting ridiculous and I'm wondering about damage on the PS3

 

I have Sin pred and bark running

 

I hit harder with no CA than I do with Rav Impact at level 6

 

just odd...

 

but I'm wondering about PS3 damages over all

Odd place to pick a first post, other than...

 

The need to say thank you for a great guide.

 

Am on the 360 since my lil pc can't handle Sacred 2. All other chars I've started are now on hold until this build is 100+

 

Cheers all

Hopefully someone is still keeping up with this thread as I need some help understanding the regen times.

 

One rune read in both DA and RI and I'm level 31.

 

My focus' are at level and 5 in combat discipline yet my regen times are still very high >5s DA and ~3.5s with RI.

 

I have SP modded for lower regen times and 16 runes read with ~10 runes read in AB

 

Should I stop eating runes in the buff and just let my focus' reach mastery level first? This approach seems like I'll be gimping my dmg output.

 

Eat more runes?

 

Help please
