HC Druid Summoner

[pakman]

So would it be a good idea to get a low end bow for myself and stick Edge in it so I can still get the thorns aura? What type of weapon should I be acarrying around since I'm not going to be in combat. That's mainly what I was going for. But then again, I can hire an A2 merc with that (I wish I could have more than one mercenary and make an army of them!) and give him a nice stick to poke people with. He'll have huge life from the Oak Sage and my summons will have large life but I'm not sure how they'll be able to hit things later on either. I'll probably put a lot of points into strength so I can carry some heavier armor with nice mods, or try to get some runewords that would be beneficial because I never have any luck with any of my characters in finding uniques and set items. Kinda like how I never roll above a 1 on a d6 in warhammer 40K to make an armor save. I just don't have that kind of luck, even with MF.
