Diablo 2 Resurrected: Ultimate Fury Werewolf Druid Build Guide

This guide will outline how to create the ultimate Fury Werewolf Druid build in Diablo 2 Resurrected. We’ll walk through the process of creating a powerful character capable of challenging even the toughest Nightmare and Hell difficulties in the game.

Class: Druid
Skill Line Focus: Shape Shifting
Build Focus: DPS
Main Attribute: Vitality
Difficulty Level: Hell
Level: 40 – 90+

Playing the Fury Werewolf Druid in Diablo 2 Resurrected, you’ll shapeshift into a fierce Werewolf, demolishing enemies with your melee prowess. Fury will be your primary damage-dealing skill, supplemented by Feral Rage to provide self-buffs.

This build is specifically designed for the Nightmare and Hell difficulties, starting at around level 40. If you’re just beginning the game or already playing and looking for a build-focused respec, you can claim the Den of Evil reward from Akara at the Rogue Encampment. This will grant you three respecs—one for each difficulty tier.

Stat Distribution

When allocating stats for this build, you’ll want to concentrate on having enough points in Strength and Dexterity to meet equipment requirements with the majority of remaining attribute points placed into Vitality to maximize life.

Equipping the unique charms Hellfire Torch and Annihilus greatly reduces the investment required in Strength, freeing up points for additional Vitality.

Skill Distribution

Your skill points will be mainly focused on the Shape Shifting skill tree, with some points also invested in the Summoning tree. Key skills include Werewolf, Lycanthropy, Fury, Feral Rage, and Heart of Wolverine.

At level 40, your priority should be Fury, Werewolf, and Lycanthropy. At level 90, your skills should follow a more complete distribution, as showcased in the guide.

Budget Equipment

Your choice of equipment plays a significant role in the success of this build. Two-handed weapons generally offer the best damage output, but some sword-shield combinations work well, too. Focus on finding a potent weapon with high damage and attack speed before upgrading the rest of your gear. Some budget equipment options include:

• Helmets: Use the Lore Runeword, or unique Druid Pelts such as Cerebus’ Bite or Spirit Keeper.
• Weapons: Utilize the Ribcracker Unique or the Crescent Moon and Kingslayer Runewords.
• Armor: Equip the Stealth or Duress Runewords.

Advanced Equipment

As your character progresses, you’ll want to transition to more powerful equipment, including:

• Helmets: Jalal’s Mane (Unique)
• Weapons: Grief (Runeword) + Stormshield or Death (Runeword) or Breath of the Dying (Runeword)
• Armor: Fortitude (Runeword) or Chains of Honor (Runeword)

Mercenary Selection & Gear

For your mercenary, you should choose an Act 2 Holy Freeze or Might Mercenary from Act 2 Nightmare. Equip your mercenary with the Obedience Runeword weapon, Fortitude Runeword armor, and Andarie’s Visage helmet.

Final Tips

Ensure you actively use Feral Rage to maintain its buff, play aggressively, and keep an eye out for valuable melee mods such as Crushing Blow, Deadly Strike, and Open Wounds when upgrading gear. Good luck, and enjoy mastering the Fury Werewolf Druid build in Diablo 2 Resurrected!
