Annoying druid

Hello! I'm trying to figure out my loadout for my "annoying druid" build.
Primarily I'm most concerned about what weapons to use.
I want to use something like this.

Be able to FC and use all forms of the druid to the best extent. I'm wondering about a build with talents 8/11/11 for reduced shapeshift cost, charge, and swarm (don't know how good locust swarm is dho) and if I go this route is the 30sp enchant on weapon better then the 22 int? It's to bad i don't get feline swiftness with this build dho... I know some of the gear Is p3 but I won't Finnish the druid before then.


Most FC guides recommend the custodian weapon for 100 more armor. But when we don't get "dire bear" form yet is the armor really that good?
The ironshroud bludgeon is also a really interesting weapon for all that raw stamina and str.

Sorry for bad grammar and posting from a phone.
 
Your link isn't working, but this is something I've drawn up a while ago that I plan to put together when my druid gets there.

the weapon was the tricky thing for me as well. I've considered 100+ armor but honestly, if you can jump fairly well, you wont need much armor, or even health for that matter. I decided to go with MP5

This looks pretty solid. I suggest Gnomer Eagle ring over the Dragonclaw as well as Unearthed Stamina Bands for bracers. Green Lens of Healing I think beats those goggles but I like that pick.

Edit: Here's the 8/15/7 build that I think would make you the most annoying FC possible.
[doublepost=1579216853,1579207487][/doublepost]Just wanted to mention that the Ardent Custodian / Prophetic Cane combo is still BiS until WSG items are released. Defense is a super underrated stat. Think of it like the reverse of +weapon skill vs enemies. On a Druid +5 Defense subtracts -.2% Hit and -.2% Crit from enemies and gives you +.2% dodge. That armor is also super tasty on a Druid thanks to Bear Form scaling and self heals. With one of the highest time-to-live ratings Druids can capitalize on mitigation stats extremely well.

That also makes Agi a very favorable stat since it boosts Armor and Dodge. People might even consider some alternate monkey-type items (Fleshhides for instance) especially once 22 Int comes out and our Mana pools get boosted.

Hey thanks for the good info i almost have my Druid ready.Just curious do you actually need Feline Swiftness??Because you have travel form which is faster,or is that because you could go cat form to use dash and get increased speed on that,thats faster than travel form.??and is Improved Enrage good?? Because i was leaning towards 8/11/11 with Natures focus and Insect swarm.Do you think worth??Sorry im new to druids and not sure.I wanna FC but also be a good healer ill be using all eagle gear.

Thanks for you're time.
 
Swiftness is great because it helps when stealthing across the field. Improved Enrage is handy for instant Bashes, also there's really nothing else worthwhile for straight FCing. I don't like Insect Swarm, if you really want one of the bonus spells Feral FF is probably your best pick, although it requires you to move away from the Resto talents.

Hey! Thanks for the replies! My druid is coming along nicely! Got all the gear except unearthed bracers and the trinket from Maraudon, will get that tomorrow. I went with the ardent custodian for a weapon. And the 8/15/7 build.
U said we will change weapons when wsg weapons are released? What weapon will we use then?
