Help for a Bow Druid?

I recently started trying new chars that I suck at and Druids and Barbarians and Necromancer are my top 3.

Found a Sha`ad and thought of trying Dirge witch is an awesome bow. However I can`t quite do Vizjun / Fauztinville runs which is why I made the char in the first place

So if anybody can tell me what Items to wear and what skills to max (I went with Cascade) also if reanimates are worth being summoned all the time
And Faerie Fire or Force of Nature?



My Build so Far Dirge Bow / 60% Good Dear Esther
Segnitia Armor
Clawfeet Boots
Demonic Touch Gloves
Peacebringer Pelt
Black Void Belt
SIgil of Tul Dulra and Nebelring Rings
Locust Hive Arrows
Death ward Amulet

Faerie fire= 22% dodge when you use a prebuff staff on switch. Force of nature will almost give u 1k damage of each element. Its basically your only source of elemental damage aside from items so you may want to use to in places with phys immunes

Stick with Dear esther for the slow.

Life leech isn't necessary but it makes things less awkward.

Spore shot is better than cascade imo. Use that for very large packs and use nova shot for stragglers and when enemies get too close. Nova shot is also very good for spreading slow. Make sure you don't put too many points in elfen weapons (caps at 50% crushing blow and 1000% damage).

ez mode in fauzt is if you equip mr mindless

Having Punishers flying around is lame imo ... not really fun

well idk what to add instead i mean you got all the gear you need and should be able to easily plow through fauzt

You need some kind of an elemental on striking proc in fauz or you will not be able to kill necrobots within a reasonable time frame. The only other alternative you have is stacking large amounts of elemental damage.

In That case use:

Weapon: Stardust Runeword
Belt: ahriman RW
Gloves: Glor-An-Fhaidha's Firebark
Helm: Veil of Magic

That'll give you about 17k elemental damage before factoring in -enemy res. Slap force of nature in there and you have 20k elemental damage which should be enough with -enemy res to get some decent killspeed. I have no idea how that combination will actually work outside of a vacuum however.
