The Rabies Druid primarily concentrates on dealing Poison Damage and Damage Over Time (DOT), which is great for having the ability to attack and proceed to other targets, adding a regular flow of gameplay.
This build hyper-specializes in farming The Secret Cow Level has a high density of weak to Poison Damage Cows, making Rabies the Skill of option for our beef farming machine! Heart of Wolverine grants Attack Rating plus some Physical Damage for Feral Rage, letting you deal with Immune to Poison enemies too. This build is fast-paced, like playing a game title of tag... like a Werewolf.

Setup
Rabies Druid uses Bramble Dusk Shroud, and Trang-Oul's Claws to massively increase Poison Skill Damage.
With Metamorphosis Wolf Head, Plague Bearer, and Spirit Monarch you accomplish the highest Rabies Skill Level before swapping to Death's Web, and Jeweler's Monarch of Deflecting.
Mercenary
We don't recommend utilizing a Mercenary while he interrupts your treatments for the enemies' movement.
Your Mercenary is a tank along with a large supply of your survivability and Damage. Equip him with Plague Phase Blade for any Cleansing Aura along with a 20% Chance to cast Lower Resist when struck. This increases your Poison Damage and breaks some Immunities. Use Vampire Gaze and Shaftstop for a total of 50% Physical Damage Reduction keeping him alive for additional Lower Resist casts.
