Here’s everything you need to know about the Druid class and the skills it can learn.
Overview
The Druid class is among the most interesting available in Diablo II Resurrected, as it comes with skills that are great for crowd control. The Elemental skill tree allows the character to use elements to dispatch enemies with powerful spells and even deal burst damage with the poison ailment, while the Shape Shifting skill tree lets the Druid go at enemies directly by turning into a werewolf or a werebear. The Summon skill tree augments both skill trees greatly, by allowing the Druid to summon a variety of animal companions and spirits to keep enemies at bay.
While the Druid can be very effective in the right hands, it is not a class that beginners should play due to its complexity.
