Yes vital punishment is needed as well. Still, it's three talents that are very worth it.

If you can pull off some rage cycling that's a mighty hit and movement every round.

Ah yes, I only thought about normal rage cycling, which Furious Finish's last line that explicitly prevents, but I guess 2 levels in Horizon Walker or Cord of Stubborn Resolve + Roused Anger, or flawed Scarlet and Green Cabochon + Internal Fortitude would make Furious Finish cycling possible. Still, without retraining, you can get Pounce but one level after Furious Finish, so mobility isn't really that much better.

@Imbicatus: Why Cave Druid? I could see Goliath or Mountain Druid, maybe...

Carnivorous Crystal Ooze has a 7d8 18-20/x2 slam. Combo that with strong jaw and you have an insane amount of damage.

Every once in a while a barbarian doesn't take pounce, go figure, so having other options for damage come in handy. Especially when you're tired of the clone build of pounce and come and get me.

I'm not saying it's the best but it is serviceable.

Thanks!

Wow, that's er, 16d6 pre VS, right? 32d6 with Vital Strike... Shame you have to wait til level 10. Nice if you don't usually have Haste on you.

What? That's blasphemy!

On a more serious note, I can agree with CaGM being a "clone build", but I consider Pounce to be as basic as Power Attack. Maybe even more so, PA only makes you better, where Pounce fixes a gaping hole in the ruleset.

If you're going the Vital Strike route I'd suggest Shield of Shards, it gives a ton of attacks on an adjacent target as a move action. It's not a Fervor buff and not the greatest to hit but scaling damage & number of attacks (5 attacks for 1d4+6 @6th) that can overcome DR based on the shield you use is handy for a crit fishing Vital Striker.
