I made a Fury wolf in 1.09 who killed anything in Hell. I used polearms thruout his existance, ending with a Silence Giant Thresher. Grims Burning was pretty good prior to that. I had thought that I might use an IK maul and had the str for it, but IK maul is not a good choice (being popular is not always smart). The GT is a maximum range weapon, the maul is not. With a GT, the majority of monsters were killed without them hitting me. Monsters stop when you hit them and if they have a range 3 weapon and I've hit them at range 5, I take no damage.
I also had a lot of life leech on the Druid, and thus I did not need high life. I learned to 'ride the leech' long ago. I kept putting points into Dex and Str and only a little into Vit. Monsters that are stunned do not hit you, and if your Chance to Hit is high, again you defend yourself thru offense. Since offense was the key, I had HoW. I had many +20 HP charms too, since I didn't have much else in the backpak.
People I played with generally made positive comments about the character's effectiveness, especially if they stayed alive if I was around.
So max HoW, not Oak and put the left over points into Rage. Keep Rage up while killing with Fury. I used a Might merc, setup for heavy leech, since his function was to give me, the killer, a nice aura. Get the CubeMod from AB and try out your ideas before making crippling errors on the Realms.
