Thanks! Is it something you can just transition to at a higher level or do you really need the 2 sets before you even begin?
It’s possible to build it around Eastern Set,it’s easy to farm it.It’s blue and quite common.
As for leveling I suggest storm totems+Wind Devils,if you don’t like PS.
@Dmt Have you considered a devotion set that takes Murmur instead of Bat? Both provide the required 2red 2green to finish off Ultos requirements.
this is a breakdown of the difference:
-
Bat
10OA
3%ADCTH
Twin Fangs(minor healing? little/no scaling) -
Murmur
150HP
30DA
10%Vita Res
3%Avoid Melee and Projectiles
90%Cold Dmg
80%Fburn Dmg
Rumor(Cold damage proc, scales, -96OA enemy debuff(aka 96more DA~), 23%Cold RR)
Negative Requires one more point - must lose either 4%DA from wolverine, 15%Stun Res from Throne or 180HP+15Chaos Res
My choice is simple, drop the 180HP+15 Chaos Res. The HP is nearly made up with Murmur’s 150HP and I noticed your chest augment of 12%bleed is not needed(25% overcap), and the Chaos Res that drops to 73% can be re-capped with that augment slot. Final HP difference is 46HP, negligible.
So, what do you think? Minor healing or a bunch of stats, damage, a little DA and avoid and a scaleable proc with even more RR?
Edit: Just realized that the Primordial Crossroads is not needed, so finishing off Ultos is actually an option, and would give you the chest augment slot to play around with(30DA, 16DA+150HP, 3%HP, etc).
Here we go with new vid
Just watch the vid, Bat+Ghoul may help you to survive
Losing 4% DA and 15% stun res is excluded. Build has not so much DA and stun res is kind a musthave vs Valdaran in SR
@Dmt Good sir, no offense meant, but did you read the entirety of my post? I ask because I fear you havn’t. Specifically the edit at the end. Taking Murmur over Bat does not lose you DA or stun res. I had presumed you might have to choose one of those or a loss of HP/Chaos res from Ultos devotion; but neither is the case.
With removing the Celestial Crossroad point you left in, for 18DA, you can complete Murmur(6points instead of 5) without dropping anything from Wolverine, Ultos or the 15%Stun Res. You can then re-purpose the open chest augment slot(you have over-capped bleed res) and apply 30DA augment, gaining you 12DA(You could also choose the 16DA/30HP augment instead) and losing nothing other than the differences between the two constellations.
So, with that, 10OA and 3%ADCTH or more effective health(150hp/30DA/12DA/96OAdebuff, 3%avoid), much more damage(which means slightly more healing, even), a scaling proc and more RR.
I was just curious if you had thought to try this variant. I think I’ve decided, myself. Cheers and thanks for the guide.
The reason she chose Bat is because heals with its proc, dude, not with its 3% adtch. To apply this adtch you have to apply weapon damage which Trozan’s usually don’t have. Bat is taken on casters entirely because of its proc which when bound to a good proccing spell (like Storm Totem or Storm Box) and coupled with caster’s innate high cooldown reduction can heal you insanely well.
Thank you for the reply, my dude. But dude, I am aware bat proc heals you(I refered to it on my initial post). Also, my dudeliest of dudeing dudes, my question stands, all the same. I was curious if he’s tried it with just adcth, with better defenses and far better damage. Thank you for your contribution.
I am pretty sure she tried different specs before choosing that particular one. I am afraid there is no way around Bat for poor old Druid, it’s too squishy to tackle endgame content without it. She might have not tried double RR spec, but without Bat it won’t be of any use since build would just start dying a lot.
I misunderstood you, sorry
For Murmur you need another one activator. It makes the build a bit clunky. There is not so much cold damage to do so
By “another one activator” do you mean another devotion point? That free devotion point is in the crossroads on your current build.
Nope, there is no skill to proc Murmur RR, I tried some variants, all of them are clunky in comparison with current version
The skill to proc murmur is the skill that procs bat in your current build, as I said before, the concept is to trade Bat for Murmur as they provide the same requirements needed to meet Ultos.
This back and forth is becoming very tiresome. I’ve repeated fragments of what was in my initial post(without edits) 5 to 6 times now. This is honestly embarrassing. I don’t mean any disrespect but I can’t keep doing this and fear this will be my last correspondence. Good day.
Edit: According to GDI 34% of our damage is Cold, while 64% is lightning and 2% is other. There is quite substantial cold damage. Food for thought.
I’ve repeated the first point as well as you 
. You can’t drop bat. Look how Ghoul+Bat healed me when my health potion is in cd.

Great thread, thank you for posting it.
I’ve been trying to get a Caster Druid off the ground (Trozan, wind devil, storm totem) but I just can’t get it working, and it’ll always be such a glass cannon you have to do stupid stuff like max out Bat and 2 other healing devotions on a caster/ice/lightning build (and I’m still only level 45 on Veteran!). Does it get easier if you just farm up a load of relevant blues? Am I a crap pilot? Or is druid just a bit of an unloved combo?

I assume this is the build you’re talking about Evfedu so moved your post. If not, let me know which build it is and I can move it again.
Doh! Yes, thanks mate. Not used to this type of forum.
No worries, I’m still learning as well. Deleted my post and took me a couple of minutes to work out how to undelete it again.

You need more practise, the build is strong enough to do SR 65-66 with no sweat and cruci in ~7m
That’s how you survive with caster. Seems like Trozan’s set will have an update in the next patch, so it will be stronger then now
