Stat Priority and Tempering Affixes
Each line of affixes is listed in order of importance, and some alternatives are given. The bolded affixes are the most important targets for Masterworking upgrades. Unique Items cannot be Tempered, but can be Masterworked. Check the Tempering guide and Masterworking guide for more details about these topics.

Uniques and Mythic Uniques
The Wolf Companion Druid can benefit from several Unique and Mythic Unique Items:
Uniques
-
Storm’s Companion has powerful gearing affixes and gives werewolves the Storm Tag. The increase to Ranks in
Wolves, Wolves Attack Speed, and Additional Chance to trigger Pack Leader all scale the build well.
- The boot slot is a competitive slot with a few options
Rakanoth’s Wake also gives cooldown reduction and resistance, but the Unique item effect is not great. This is good early on.
Yen’s Blessing can periodically trigger extra casts of
Wolves or other Supporting Skills, and provides All Resistance and okay other stats. Mastercraft the All Resistances or the All Stats.
Flickerstep can be the right choice in push, with a high Damage Reduction category and a way to reduce
Grizzly Rage when things are not dying as fast in high pit push. Mastercraft the Damage Reduction from Close.
Fists of Fate is a high source of Lucky Hit, Critical Strike and Attack Speed, all of which are beneficial for Pack Leader Spirit Boon resets. If Lucky Hit is already sufficient and there are no reset gaps without it, legendary gloves with
Moonrage Aspect can be used for more Wolves.
Mythic Uniques
-
Heir of Perdition is a strong multiplier with even stronger Gear Affixes. The Critical Strike and Lucky Hit chance both boost our chance for Pack Leader Resets.
Shroud of False Death like for all builds, the +1 to all Skill Passives is powerful.
Gems and Runewords
The following are the recommended Gem and Runeword setups for the Wolf Companion Druid:
Gems
Weapon Gems | Armor Gems | Jewelry Gems |
---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() ![]() |
Horadric Jewels
Seasonal Players can use these Horadric Jewels, placed in jewelry gear slots. Check out the Horadric Spell section for all available options.
Jewel | Description |
---|---|
![]() | You deal 20% and take 10% more Elemental damage. |
![]() | You gain 6% primary stat, 6% maximum life and you are always Unhindered. However, you will be hunted in Sanctuary’s darkest places by Jewel Guardians who were entombed to protect this relic. |
![]() | After you injure or kill an enemy, your Summons are empowered, growing larger and dealing 50% more damage for 4 seconds. |
Runewords
Use these Runeword combinations for the Wolf Companion Druid, placed in the 2-Handed Weapon and into one Armor slot:
Runeword Combination | Runeword Effects |
---|---|
Nagu Xan | ![]() ![]() |
Yul Ceh | ![]() ![]() |
Runewords use a conditional Rune of Ritual to generate Offering. The Offering is consumed by the Rune of Invocation to trigger its effect. Runes replace Gems in gear with two sockets. Up to two sets of Runeword Pairs can be placed at a time.
Xan will offer periods where all direct damage events Overpower. This is useful during bosses to extend
Grizzly Rage.
Ceh will periodically summon Spirit Wolves to assist you in combat; applying Chill, Vulnerable, and adding to
Shepherd’s Aspect count. They are Unhindered, passing through enemies and the player. They won’t do high damage like your
Wolves, but they’re good boys anyways.
