| Class | Druid |
|---|---|
| Build Type | Druid - Rabies Druid - Early Ladder |
| Main Skills | Rabies, Poison Creeper, Fury, Werewolf, Lycanthropy, Oak Sage |
| Skill Target | Level 85, all 12 quest skill points |
This Early Ladder Rabies Werewolf pairs Grief and Stormshield with Bramble and Trang-Oul's Claws. The level-85 allocation combines Rabies and its Poison Creeper synergy with Lycanthropy, Oak Sage and Fury for physical backup. The listed Act II Insight mercenary equipment is included. This is a specialist poison-and-melee setup with a documented legacy wolf branch; it is not presented as an all-purpose fast farmer.
Summon Oak Sage and Poison Creeper, cast Cyclone Armor before transforming, and use the listed buff switch if included. Shift into Werewolf and land Rabies on a suitable enemy, then reposition while the infection runs its course. Fury provides physical follow-up; Feral Rage is available for its charged movement and leech effects when physical hits connect. Poison takes time and resistant targets can remain slow. The included Insight mercenary supports mana but supplies neither Conviction nor Lower Resist. Recast support skills and watch shield requirements and life while engaging at melee range. No poison sunder is included in the starter. Use physical backup or skip poison-immune targets when the kit cannot handle them efficiently.
