Talk:Bear Club for Women

so this one is for female character only? I wonder what quest you will get if you play as a male character

Male chars do Bear Club for Men which you get from Olrun Olafdottir in Varajar Fells.

walkthrough plz this quest is driving me up the wall

Fun fact: You don't have to kill the bear with the club. I killed it using a dagger build and then I switched to the club during the wait and the quest updated anyways as if I had killed the bear with the club Ekrin 01:52, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

I dont know how to make templates but as a warrior I killed the bear with: 13 strength, 16 hammer, enraged smash, flail, dolyak signet, "For Great justice" and lions comfort (the rest were just random adrenal skills to fuel enraged smash. You shouldnt use anything but the skills I mentioned, just leave the other skills nice and charged. It takes quite long but it's easy. Good luck!

Lovely. Is this quest even possible for those of a ele primary who haven't spent oodles on useless (for them, normally) warrior skills? Not having fun, either dying in 15 seconds, or living forever with my earth spells, but completely unable to damage the stupid thing.

The weapon switching "after" u killed the bear is not working anymore
For ele, just keep blinding the bear, and bring skills that can interupt bear's troll unguent(like psychic distraction, or bring a bow for distracting shot then switch back to the club)
For ppl who dont have enraged smash, this is my war build to kill the bear

Hah, in the Preview Weekend the "Rabid Bear" dealt like 10 or less damage each attack to my Ranger using Druid'd Armor (70AL). I thought he was rather easy for a Level 20 Monster. Guess ANet changed this in the real release, oh well. (T/C) 19:55, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

I found a way for anyone to beat the bear. Use Ursan Blessing-elite skill, and keep kiting with Ursan force. Keep spamming Ursan Strike from range. When Bear uses Dolyak Signet, you can kite nearly forever with Ursan Force, and keep DPS up with Ursan Strike. At the time when Bear is on low hp, you can get to melee, and spam Ursan Strike and Ursan Rage. Remember to wait enough time to bring bear's hp down, because when kiting the bears adrenaline gain is minimal, and it cant use Defy Pain well.

Nice try, but the area is not large enough for kiting. Before you say this works for everyone, please actually try it on all characters. Maybe this works, for example, on warriors, but it does not work on monks.

A nice build to defeat the bear as a Dervish primary: go ranger secondary and bring Avatar of Lyssa, Eternal Aura, "I Am The Strongest!", Ear Bite, Apply Poison, Mystic Regeneration, Heart of Fury and Shield of Force, and the bear will go down fairly easily even with the club. --Bonjela 08:23, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

The Rabid Bear actually has skills now? o_O Well that explains a lot... (T/C) 00:22, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Besides that the bear has skills, it has health regeneration and permanent halved skill activation and recharge as well. Basically, it's a HM boss. After noticing that as an elementalist I couldn't outdamage the healing neither consistently interrupt fast cast Troll Unguent (I think that I whittled the HP down to about 25% in 10 minutes before hitting a brick wall - the bear would concentrate on healing himself and whatever progress I made would be instantly negated when I had to recast enchantments that kept me alive) I got fed up and loaded my E/Rt anti-Bison spirit pooper build. The bear dropped in 5 seconds and I claimed my reward, cursing stupid quest designers who force people to use stupid builds--Tmakinen 01:46, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

Easy build for an assassin

Way of Perfection, Golden Fox Strike, Wild Strike, Temple Strike, Horns of the Ox, Falling Spider, Twisting Fangs. Cast Way of Perfection, chain Golden Fox -> Temple (when it's charged, Wild Strike otherwise) -> Horns of the Ox (if Dolyak isn't on) -> Falling Spider -> Twisting Fangs (go straight to this from your off-hand if Dolyak was on). Zealous daggers recommended. It will take a while, but you won't die. Assassin is probably pretty easy for most people, but just thought I'd post this working build for anyone who might have trouble. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 13:59, 7 September 2007 (CDT)
