It requires you to stand directly next to a monster to always hit. Tornado can be irritating with its seemingly random path.And 4 seconds for Volcano?!? I still don’t understand what the developers were thinking. I get Fissure, but Firestorm? Really?!? Sorc can spam her focused attacks without delay. Cast delay on fire skills is frustrating.Defensive measures can disappear at a moment’s notice ( Oak Sage, Cyclone Armor) and thus need careful attention if relying on them (especially Cyclone Armor with low innate resists).The challenges, however, are real and not to be minimized: And even without Insight, it’s not a problem to manage mana with +mana per kill items and pots. Mana cost on the skills used is fixed and easily affordable with the help of Tir runes before Insight becomes available.As a result, there will be few immunes in both halves of the playthrough, because Hurricane’s cold damage helps sort out any Physical Immunes (PIs) once the switch is made to Windy build.Fissure is powerful all the way to act 4 NM, and Volcano, Grizzly and merc can more than sort the stray FI that shows up before that.Easy to gear with cheap stuff, think “ Leaf” runeword.The approach is to play as a Fissure Druid until around Act 4 NM (when FIs start showing up) and then switch to Wind Druid. Diablo 2 Druid Fire to Wind Build Overview But this build approach is plenty powerful, if requiring a bit more patience than some of the other Classes due to the mechanics of the skills and solution for immune or high-immune monsters to the main skill in each phase of the build. Instead, as a starter Druid build, this guide focuses on Elemental skills, recommending progression as a pure Fire Druid until respecing to a Wind Druid in late NM when Fire Immunes (FIs) start showing up in numbers.ĭruid is probably one of the more challenging Classes to start out, along with Barbarian. This makes them tough as a starter build. Shapeshifters can be very solid and fun to play, but they generally need a high damage and fast attacking weapon to shine. Grizzly is a sturdy summonable tank for any build, even with 1 point. The first two each offer two very different experiences (Wolf/Bear and Fire/ Wind, respectively). Big thanks to art_vandelay who pulled together much of the content and details before I stepped in to finalize the Guide.ĭruids offer three main play styles: Shapeshifter (physical melee), Elemental (caster), and Summoner (often with bow). This Diablo 2 Druid Fire to Wind guide gives an overview of the key details on the core builds explains the progression from Fire to Wind and offers thoughts on gear for each stage and end-game options. 4.2 Windy Build (Late Nightmare and Hell).4.1 Fire Build (Normal and Early Nightmare).2 Diablo 2 Druid Fire to Wind Build Overview.
