EXPENSIVE Max Cold Damage Hurricane Druid, Build Showcase and Guide - Diablo 2 Resurrected

Love this build!! If I start now, I will have half of the gear required in 10 years!

no Cold Sunder?

Love the content man, been watching everyday on your daily uploads pretty much since I found you a year or so ago. D2 is an amazing game overall and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoyed and still enjoys it to this day haha

Thanks for covering these niche builds. It's cool to learn about unique items (e.g. doom) being used in optimal builds

I am currently working on the Warewolf variant of the huricanr druid and even though I have allot to work on the items, I can say I'm pretty happy how it handles P8. Cheers!

No sunder charm?

did you ever pick up that unid jmod? @9:32

Heyo, I am a disabled gamer and am a fan of the more passive gameplay style as well. I'm rocking in sp and wondering if you had any ideas for passive builds. My goal is auradin/dragondin and I'm 3 Surs and some change deep into getting the build going. But I was trying to think of some others in the meantime (not summoner) like an enchantress with a crazy a5 merc that carries or something. Any ideas along that line of thought?

impossible boots, lol. GG Hero Editor.

How do you get 43% fire res? :hand-orange-covering-eyes: 6:53

There we go! Hurricane Druid!

Rare boots on 6:52 can't have strength - only dexterity (9 max).

If you cast battle command, then summon and cast armor etc, wouldn't that be better?

Of course he's gonna be godly with that gear. Any character would be godly

What about an act 5 merc with andys, treachery, plague (eth cryptic sword) and greif pb? Tons of IAS, resistances (when fade procs), life leech. Level 17 cleansing aura + lower resist procs. Grief and Plague both have -psn resist so the venom and psn nova procs get a little help too. I'm going to try it out with your druid build (except with a cold sunder added).

@9:37 missed a jmod 😂

I played this build in the legacy, well a very special "home-made" version of it and it was quite fun on Normal and Nightmare. But without Infinity it became unbearably annoying and tedious on Hell. However, I kinda always dreamed about making it work somehow, and then when Sunder charms were introduced in D2R I was like "okay, my mister cold Druid now it's your time". That with another off-meta homebrew build was probably the most expensive and the most time spending ever for me but it was completely worth it. I did end up with a bit of different gear than you (not perfect + using CoH and Spirit shield [alt. Lidless for mana issues which is Godly], Sunder and stuff like that), and if we ignore the fact that I made it a bit more versatile with a couple of different points into pets, I'm very satisfied to see someone else tried and made it work! I do love running with Arctic Blast on top of Hurricane as well, even tho on Hell it's quite less effective than on easier difficulties, but it's still fun and absolutely completely different experience than anything else. People will be surprised how much safety this build is offering, yes the clearing speed is not at "I drop a single lightning jav or a few frozen orbs and everything melts" and I wasn't really building it for the MF purposes (which you could definitely do as you showed here) but it's genuinely refreshing and enjoyable to play and just have fun! :)

i always liked doing this kind of druid in lod, i bet with the new sunder charms it will preform even better. I use to use a spirit monarch fcr rings and amulet to reach 99%fcr for 11 frames and i preferred to use skill charms with dex and scs with dex to help me reach max block. I also used a lower resist wand on swap for fun! it really did help to have max block in lod not so sure in d2r though. can't wait to try it in d2r !

Windy druid is by far one of my favorite characters to play

Adding a gg pelt with +3 ele, +3 hurricane, +3 nado with 2 socs faceted I think. Also a frenzy merc with plague/ lawbringer/ delerium/ fort would provide solid control while procing decrepify, and lower resistances. Thanks SP, you my ninja.
