D2R Fire-Shapeshifter Druid Build Guide - Fire Wolf & Bear Druid in Diablo 2 Resurrected

12/16/2022 5:43:26 PM

Today we'll take a look at another Druid build, the fire shapeshifter, and we'll present two different versions, one as a wolf and one as a bear, the mechanics here are quite similar to the tornado world, the fire effects by the equipment will cause additional area damage, and also offer something for the eye, but especially all the graphic cards might get busy, so let's go for it.

Stats & Skills

Stats

Looking at the stat points, you basically can proceed as usual, strength and dexterity enough for the equipment, rest in Vitality, this way you get maximum life points, but you could also put a bit more in strength to increase damage or in dexterity to increase block chance and attack rating, here you have some leeway to customize your Druid.

Strength-199

Dexterity-146

Vitality-360

Energy-90

Skills

Elemental Skill Tree

In this skill tree, it looks like this, in the elemental 3, Cyclone Armor is unlocked with one point and Firestorm, Volcano and Armageddon gets killed out, you will cast Armageddon by yourself, volcano and Molten Boulder will be triggered by the equipment and we want them to become stronger, so we skills their synergies, since the equipment will also bring Firestorm as a trigger effect, you could also expand The Firestorm synergies instead Molten Boulder and Fissure, so already with the elemental skills, there is some d2r rune for our own priorities.

Shape Shifting

The remaining points go to the shape-shifting skills, there are two variants in the wolf variant, we need werewolf and fury at a good level, so our melee attacks will have a satisfying chance to hit and also do high damage, Lycanthropy is also useful to increase, because then we get more health and the transformation lasts longer, but we won't have enough points to skill out everything, optionally, you could also cut back on the elemental skills of course, with the bear, we go for the fire claws, and in that case it is worthwhile to maximize the two synergies plus Armageddon in the elemental 3, also helpful are a few additional points in mall or lycanthropy, we will use small in between to get the speed boost or refresh it, similar to the world's fairer rage, if you play the bear you can also unlock hunger and Shockwave with one point each.

Skill Tree Wolf

Skill Tree Bear

So all in all we would have the following trees, it is also possible to play the wolf with fire claws fits a bit better to the Fire theme, but it is less effective.

Gameplay Wolf

The gameplay is very simple as a wolf, you mainly use fury because of the high damage and attacking multiple targets, but in between you should also use feral rage for the speed and live bleach buff, as a bear, you do very similar with Maul and the fire claws, Armageddon and Cyclone armor can be casted in Animal Farm, only for the war cries we have to change back first, as long as there are no dangerous enemies, if it is little unfluid at some points, maybe Uber trustrum is also possible with little changes like with the tornado wolf, but that would have to be tested by someone who has a stronger machine, because the weapon has a little less crushing blow and no attack speed on it, but it is conceivable.
