HC Druid Summoner

Heiho,
it doesn't transfer, right. But +2skills and FCR are nice attributes, and it may take some time to achieve even the easier to find uniques like Dark Clan Crusher, Islestrike or other weapons with druid skills (ok, you have whoppin' three free shots at Charsi to give her pieces of trees for imbueing).

A Spirit shield, well, has to be at least a Monarch, thus needs 156str, thus doesn't get a recommendation from me. It's way too easy to cramp three Diamonds in a shield for resistance, so I wouldn't spend double strength from my aforesaid intention just to get 2skills. With twinks, ok, there is enough decent stuff for boosting strength, but untwinked I think this is way too high if you don't go melee.

I did not know that it had to be that kind of shield, thus I will go with the sword. 156 STR is a waste of points that could have gone into VIT, especially notwink, agreed. My best bet would be to go with an 4os broadsword or longsword because eveything above that would require more than 80 STR, ofc ourse I can find a couple +STR items, but I would rather be wearing resist items. That being the case I'll end up crafting some safety items and maybe a caster ammy for FCR.
