Gear check melee bear build

[Aleeshia]

Hey guys,

I have put together some gear for a melee bear build.
Maybe you could have a look if it would work like this:

Leg. Part of the family set:
Armor: Leg. Enforcer’s Coat (Fortification 214% / Physical Sheltering 54 / Heal Amp. 85 / False Life 81)
Gloves: Leg. Hammerfist (Ins. Doublestrike 11% / Cannith Combat Infusion / Seeker 21 / Ins. Deadly 8)
Necklace: The Family’s Blessing (Quality Assassinate 2 / Doublestrike 24% / Ins. Armor-Piercing 16 / Deadly 17)

Goggles: Legendary Collective Sight (WIS 21 / Ins. STR 10 / Qual. Resistance 4)

Helmet: Legendary Umber Brim (Ins. Accuracy +16 / Ins. Deception +8 / Imprv. Quelling Strike / Profane Well Rounded )

Bracers: Brand of Kalok Shash (STR 22 / Fire Absorption 53% / Qual. Accuracy 8/ Qual. Deadly 5)

Trinket: Trinket of Freewill (Magical Sheltering 52 / Spell Resistance 46 / Ins. WIS 9)

Cloak: Leg. Cloak of the Citys Champion (Ins. CON 10 / Parrying 10 / Qual. Physical Sheltering 13)

Belt: Leg. Bronze Dragonscale Belt (CON 21 / Heal. Amp. 85 / Ins. false life 40 / lifesealed 50%)

Ring 1: Leg. Celestial Ruby Ring: (DEX 21 / Accuracy 33 / Ghostly / Stunning 23)

Ring 2: Leg. Slavelords (Qual. STR 4 / Resistance 14 / Shatter 20 / XXX)

Boots: Cerulean Guard ( Physical Sheltering 49 / Ins. Physical Sheltering 24 / Protection 15 / Parrying 9)

I would be happy over some feedback. Thank you 🙂

I assume that bear builds are essentially a Melee / Strikethrough build, using Druid spells for Buffs and Healing? STR as main damage stat?

Are any tactics needed (Stuns/Trips)?

Is there a focus on having tanky survivability?

I take it offensive Spellcasting DCs are not needed?

Happy to help with gear setups I just need to know a little more about how you want to Build-Your-Bear.

Would change quite a bit, the belt is horrible, just gives con really as rest is on armor, I would also get one of the new trinkets.

Boots could be better too.

Also, would look at the THTH helm.

Do you use any falconry for the wis?

[Aleeshia]

STR is my main stat.
I use some druid spells for buffing but I don’t have some for healing.
As tactics I only use dire charge really, if this counts to tactics.

My intention was a balance between damage and survivabilty.

I have the silver dragenscale helmet, if this the helmet I would need. I don’t have the other one.

I have in falconry tree the bird strike attack

[Legend]

Yep silver helm with +10 str unless you have +2 reaper stats on umber, goggles with +21 con, +10 con, can look at cloak options, new trinket with +5 qty str is nice, maybe wis lesser Arti ring.
Then depending on Scion need lesser displace and ghostly, also need to fit in Ins sheltering item.
THTH boots nice too

[Aleeshia]

I probably could organize to prepare helmet and googles.
About cloak, boots and/or missing stats/skills/etc I need to check what’s possible

Thank you so far for help. I could improve already a bit

[Aleeshia]

What about taking the Circle of Malevolence (Ring) for the ins. Sheltering?
I could craft SL shackles for boots (for Sheltering).
For DEX I could take the braided cutcord instead of bronze dragenscale belt and could craft CON on the celestrial ruby ring…

Would these kind of gear set up also work with a Paladin? As far as I know there can be STR based too?

[Legend]

Circle is v nice, would post new setup, another ins sheltering option with didge is the thth cloak, too many nice items in thth

[Aleeshia]

So final so far would be:

Leg. Part of the family set:
Armor: Leg. Enforcer’s Coat (Fortification 214% / Physical Sheltering 54 / Heal Amp. 85 / False Life 81)
Gloves: Leg. Hammerfist (Ins. Doublestrike 11% / Cannith Combat Infusion / Seeker 21 / Ins. Deadly 8)
Necklace: The Family Recruit Sigil (True Seeing / Armor-Piercing 33 / Deadly 17 / Relentless Fury)

Goggles: Legendary Collective Sight (WIS 21 / Ins. STR 10 / Qual. Resistance 4)

Helmet: Legendary Umber Brim (Ins. Accuracy +16 / Ins. Deception +8 / Imprv. Quelling Strike / Profane Well Rounded )

Bracers: Brand of Kalok Shash (STR 22 / Fire Absorption 53% / Qual. Accuracy 8/ Qual. Deadly 5)

Trinket: Leg. Bone Figurine ( Qual. STR 5 / Doublestrike 23 / Ins. Seeker 10 / Evil Absorb. 30)

Cloak: Leg. Cloak of the Citys Champion (Ins. CON 10 / Parrying 10 / Qual. Physical Sheltering 13)

Belt: Leg. Braided Cutcord (DEX 19 / Qual. DEX 4 / Qual. Dodge 4 / Blurry)

Ring 1: Leg. Celestial Ruby Ring: (CON 21 / Accuracy 33 / Ghostly / Stunning 23)

Ring 2: Leg. Circle of Malevolence (Resistance 14 / Vitality 60 / Ins. Sheltering 23 / Intim 25 / Incite 160)

Boots: Leg. Slavelords (Qual. CON 4/ Sheltering 45 / Deception 17 / Vertigo20 or Tendon Slice14 or Shatter20)

My Dodge is nearly full and with for example the Quality Dodge from the belt it is on max.
