For my latest build, I've decided to make something a little more fun. It is called a Kodiak Druid, a Hunger Werebear with 4-Frame Attacks and A LOT of CB and elemental damage added.
I don't want point strategies, I got that.
I am looking for mid level gear, cause I am rolling ladder with this toon and i have no gear at all on ladder.
Currently I am at level ~15 but am runnign chaos in hell. I have a 6os Phase blade that I am going to shael, and Duress is the body armor I need for endgame, and is not that expensive and i think i can grab. After that I am at a loss for cheap gear options just to get me buy, can anyone think of any?
Thanks in advance.
I've actually found another idea I like to be fairly cheap:

IK Maul- A Double-Shael’d IK Maul with 15% off-weapon IAS, or a double Jewel-of-Fervor’d IK Maul with 25% IAS (what a coincidence- that's exactly how much IAS we get from the gloves...) reaches a 6 frame attack, too, and is probably an even better choice than the Windhammer. You get a bit less Crushing Blow (35-40% instead of 50%), and lose out on some physical damage (barely less average ED, but no Twister), but you will MORE than make up for that once you start adding more IK pieces and get those insane Elemental damage boosts. My favorite pieces to use are the Belt (good fire and lightning resist, big str bonus, 25% fhr with 2 other pieces), then the Gauntlets (+str and dex, 25% ias), then the boots (life and 40% faster run-walk), then the armor (resists, enchant, and fhr), in that order. That’s mostly because of what you have to give up than what you gain (there are no fantastic Kodiak belts, few fantastic Kodiak gloves, but several great Kodiak boots, and the Duress should never be taken off, IMO).
I think that could be the best cheap method, and stil put out some nice damage.
