Druid Skills in Diablo 2 are the Skills that the Druid use to attack, defend and otherwise face down the minions of hell. Every Class has three main Skill trees, each of them composed of 10 different Skills.
Best Druid Skills to use in your builds, maximizing your capabilities and synergizing with Runewords and Equipment.
Important Note: With the release of Patch 2.4 these skills have suffered some changes:
Elemental Skills:
- Casting delay change for Druid Fire skills
- Increased the physical damage scaling for Fire skills to be a reliable alternative damage source.
- For Arctic Blast was increased the damage scaling, reducing the synergy requirements to free up skill points, and improving the general player controls to allow for smoother freeform targeting.
- Now Shapeshift forms are allowed to cast each of the elemental buff skills to avoid the current hassle of having to change forms to continuously maintain these active buffs.
Shape Shifting Skills:
- Werewolf skills are receiving Attack Rating improvements to help melee gameplay.
- Fire Claws, has reduced the heavy skill point synergy costs to open more build possibilities.
- Werebear skills are receiving damage improvements to make them more viable for higher difficulties.
Druid Summoning Skills:
- In general, all summons will no longer have hidden randomized health values so that the tooltip is more accurate and so summons perform more consistently.
- Ravens are getting significant changes to help them function as a spell-like skill for summoning Druids to use, and this includes damage scaling buffs and new synergies from other summons to fuel their damage.
- Wolves are getting improvements to give them more of an identity as damage-dealing summons.
- The spirit summons are receiving a physical damage resist change across each difficulty to make them survive more consistently.
- Spirit of Barbs is receiving changes to Thorns to make it a more reliable source of damage
- Each of the creeper summons are receiving improvements to give more reason to invest skill points and to have them perform better at higher levels.
