Druid Guide: Skill Trees, Synergies and Popular Builds

Diablo 2 Resurrected Druid: required level, prerequisites, level 1 and 20 values and synergies for all 30 summoning, shape shifting and elemental skills, plus starting stats, Druid pelts and popular builds such as Tornado, Hurricane, Armageddon and Fury.

The Druid is a versatile class who wields the power of nature, summons animals and spirits, shape shifts into a wolf or bear, and casts fire and wind spells. He can be played as a caster, a melee fighter or a summoner, and his spirits (Oak Sage, Heart of Wolverine, Spirit of Barbs) support the whole party. Hover over a skill icon (tap on touch screens) for its details.
