Summoner Druid

Author: Xtimus
The summoner Druid is a character that has recieved several buffs with patch 2.4. Great for starting off and enjoying the game, but not the best for the endgame as the clearing speed is not fast. Equipping best in slot gear is very expensive and is quite wastful when taking into consideration that this build will not be a top performer. However getting to the level of being efficient is quite cheap so this is what we will focus on.

Wind Druid

Author: Dbrunski125
The Wind Druid is versatile as it deals both Cold and Physical Damage, making it rare to run into enemies you cannot kill. The build is tanky and has great summon support. The downside is that it is a bit tricky to aim the Tornadoes and the build relies a lot on Enigma. There are also a lot of viable gear options in this build and in this gear list we will only cover some of them and budget options.
