Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.5 Best Fury Shapeshifting Wolf Druid Build Guide 

The Fury Werewolf Druid Build also known as Shapeshifter Druid Build is one of the best melees builds with high DPS and viability in Diablo 2 Resurrected, now it has been the most meta build to running terror zones in Ladder Season 2. Because of the high attack speed and the many life points as a werewolf, the druid can defeat the strongest bosses in the game with this build. While strong against single opponents, it is weaker against multiple opponents. In this build, we're primarily using the two abilities Feral Rage and Fury. With Fury, we primarily deal physical damage, while Feral Rage gives us a bonus to higher run speed, life steal, and more damage.

Otherwise, we distribute 20 points each into skills in the following order: Werewolf, Lycanthropy, Feral Rage, Fury. Then you decide for yourself whether you want to invest 20 points in Oak Sage or Heart of Wolverine. With Oak Sage, you increase your health, which is suitable for a more defensive build.

Fury Shapeshifting Wolf Druid Gameplay in Terror Zones

Wolf druid is built very fast, strong, and efficient. You have plenty of damage, life, and resistance, and enough moving speed to quickly clear any Terror Area. You also have life leech and mana leech to avoid the use of a potion. Just make sure to keep some mana potions in case you have a mana burn Elite, as you can see at the end of this World Stone 85 farming on Diablo 2 Resurrected!

Shapeshift Druid can tank and kill anything in the game, you can even take a bath in Baal's last wave while in Terror Area with the amount of resistance and leech from this build. Baal will quickly die, but if you wish to be more oriented for boss killing, make sure to equip Gore Riders boots on Diablo 2 Resurrected!
