Fury Druid Build for Diablo 2 Resurrected

The Fury Druid is the Druid's version of the Paladin's Zeal skill. With a large boost to Attack Rating and damage, plus the Increased Attack Speed and Life in Wolf form, this is an exciting build to play that can take advantage of a lot of weapons including Ribcracker for some insane damage. Like other classes, finding Cannot Be Frozen will be crucial to advance beyond Normal.

You can check the viability of this build in PvM by consulting our PvM Tier List.

We also have a video guide that goes over the build, if you prefer that instead of or in addition to our written guide.

In Diablo 2, stats that affect action speed (known as frames) for attacking, casting, blocking, and recovering from a hit can almost never be taken literally. For example, gaining 10% Increased Attack Speed from an item will not necessarily translate into 10% faster attacks. To achieve faster actions, certain breakpoints must be reached, which vary for every class. The tables below list how much of a given stat is required to actually improve the action speed of the class for the stated action.

You can either choose a Defensive ( Holy Freeze) or Offensive ( Might) Act 2 Nightmare Mercenary depending on if you prefer a bit more safety or a bit more damage.

• Weapon: Ethereal The Reaper's Toll
• Body Armor: Etheral Fortitude
• Helm: Ethereal Andariel's Visage socketed with a Ral Rune
