​Diablo 2 Resurrected Best Wind Druid Build Guide - Skills, Stats, Gears & Mercenaries Of Wind Druid in D2R

Apr-25-2022

As a relatively strong and safe build in Diablo 2 Resurrected, Wind Druid is a favorite for players who like AoE farming magic items in the game. He doesn't need a lot of gear, but using a few key items can help him farm faster and protect him from damage. In this guide, we'll give you the advantages and disadvantages of Wind Druid, as well as everything you need to know about building Wind Druid.

Advantages of the Wind Druid

Deals both Cold and Physical damage on a single skill tree, making Immunes less of a problem

Great synergy among primary abilities, so the build is very efficient

Fairly easy to build on a budget

Weaknesses of the Wind Druid

Difficult to Level like Wind; not strong the early skills

The tornado can be difficult to aim

Wind Druid isn't as fast as a Sorceress magic-find build but makes up for it in survivability. With better defensive abilities and some help from summoning minions, Wind Druid is tougher and can take more punishment.
