Want some advice from wiser people

Soo, I’m leveling a summon druid though hell, and noticed that I have no tools to deal with physical immune mobs effectively (currently just whacking them with some elemental damage, but it takes ages, and thorns tend to not work on ghosts (rip when it gets buffed)).

I’m thinking of crafting a rune weapon to deal with them. I currently have access to Passion, Lawbringer and Voice of Reason. Unfortunately I have only 1 Lem rune so I can try only one.

What are you opinions? I have an Obedience Thresher, so if the curses land I can quickly dispatch them I imagine.

  1. Berserk I don’t think would work well with bear form or do enough.
  2. 20% chance for decrepify seems a bit low but when it procs it should work for a group of monsters. Slain monsters rest in peace would also make dealing ressing monsters easier, but I don’t know about the Sanctuary aura knockback.
  3. Castimg frozen orbs and ice blasts along with some nice elemental damage sounds nice, but I’m not sure if that’s enough on how to deal with the monsters.

Pretty much everything will get settled if the patch on the PTR for spirit wolfs goes live, but I still wonder what the best option is.

Hi
For your summon druid and other physical builds in general in D2, decrepify is the cheapest & best option to deal with physical immune. Then you can make Lawbringer or find The Reaper’s Toll (polearms) and give it to your merc.

Best,

If you engage foes yourself you can also use amplify damage proc on items like Atma’s Scarab for instance

Merc whit out insight is equal to no mana, and no cast.

The proc chance on the scarab seems pretty low.

Decided to make the Lawbringer, because I was farming the act 5 minivoss for keys. And it helps xD.

Since the appearance if physical immune supers quickened a lot I think I’ll park my druid at the river of flames until the patch. If you don’t have the many runewords to support the wolfs, it’s quite the slugfest if even one appears. I could probably finish act 4 in a few hours, but I imagine it will be quite the pain to do act 5 where several non-undead monsters have it by default.

The Reaper’s toll has ladder only in the wiki. Is that still the case?

Thx for you input.

All previous ladder items are available on Battle.net now. Just got to find one.

this is working if fit in your build.
