94 Str Build - 126k avg. dmg / 2.9k HP / Half Inventory Free / 86 FCR / Dragon Flight (tele ruins the game) / Shadow Warrior (uses the same skills) / 25% MF (bases and runes farming)
It’s not bad but I’d make several tweaks.
15/15 Jewel instead of Um(Jewels trump runes in many respects. It just costs more).
2/20 Gloves as opposed to +3 Magic(hits final breakpoint without Burst of Speed. BoS ensures max frame rate with Decrepify/Holy Freeze).
Atma’s Amulet(for Amplify Damage).
All three gear tweaks can also help shore up Resistances and other attributes(including Strength). I’d also recommend you shift points off Weapon Block and into another skill(say Cobra Strike or Fade) since what you gain is ~5% Block.
Also, Dragon Tail is built around how much Physical Damage you can do to the primary target. That is why I advocate for Atma’s since if you can proc Amplify, then the Physical Damage on the primary target is massively increased and consequently buffs the living snot out of your splash Fire Damage. With Amplify proc’d on the Target Dummy, you’re looking at roughly 800k DPS
The helm costs a fortune so 15/15 jewel price is not the problem
Its 5% chance of 2 2/3 radius 
Weapon block blocks magic spells too. This is must have.
Yes but BoS is also walk/run speed and this build is not using Enigma or Telestaff
Thanks for ideas, hopefully someone will use any of this. I think im plaing off-meta druid next ladder.
I know the Helm costs a fortune. The reason I opted for Atma’s, despite its horrible proc chance, is to maximize the damage Dragon Tail can do. The more Physical Damage you do, the greater the splash Fire Damage you do. As for BoS, it yields Run/Walk and Skill IAS. The reason I added 35 IAS is to hit the final breakpoint should you get afflicted with Decrepify or slowed via Holy Freeze. If you get hit by both, not much you can do.
Your point on Weapon Block has some validity but it just feels like a waste to dump 20 points into a skill with such diminishing returns.

Super late to this party but; you’re missing out on an absurd amount of dmg by only using 94 strength. Your total kick damage range (same as the dmg range you see on weapons) is based off of your boot’s kick dmg + your base kick dmg, and base kick dmg is an equation using a combination of Dext+Strength. Then dragon tail also benefits from Strength as an attribute bonus dmg thats: str*1.25, although it’s super diluted by Tiger Strike’s bonus, but still decent. The real power of strength is the flat damage it adds to your kick.

You could easily double, maybe even triple your damage, by maxing strength. I aim for 1500 after BO(soft core), enough Dext for gear, all the rest into strength. With 1 point into cobra strike, it should make keeping the life pool topped off super easy.
