Using these skills, the Summoner Druid, well, at this point Fire Summoner Druid, assists his pets in combat, cutting down enemy ranks to manageable size and helping burn down those his summons are unable to damage.
As a result, the build focuses on the fire portion of the tree, namely Fissure for AoE damage and Volcano for focused single target. Tornado, one of the other usual candidates among the elemental skills, is also wholly unsuitable for the Summoner’s purposes, as it deals physical damage, the one damage type the build has no shortage of. In order to be able to afford suitably powerful summons, the build cannot focus on the more bombastic higher tier abilities such as Armageddon or Hurricane due to a shortage of skill points. After all, what would be the point of having two summoners in the game that play exactly the same? The Summoner Druid does have all these shortcomings, true, but he also has the tools to overcome them in his own unique way, and gains a number of advantages the Necromancer does not have.īecause of the lack of elemental damage on summons and the inability to take away enemy physical immunities through curses, the Summoner Druid cannot focus on summoning alone, and must contribute his own share of damage through offensive magic. It is true that the Summoner Druid cannot be played like a Summoner Necromancer. It seems a lost cause from the very start.
Druid’s pets are less numerous, have seemingly no ability to gain resistances from the tree (no Summon Resist, after all), deal exclusively physical damage which poses a problem on Hell difficulty, and the Druid does not even have access to Curses to help his pets in the fight. Playing a Summoner Druid has always seemed a sketchy concept to me, especially after experience with playing a Summoner Necromancer. This guide was written and tested for an untwinked, self-found playthrough across all difficulties using patch 1.14d.ĭiablo II: Resurrected Review - Pile Of Old Bones
To complement its pets’ monstrous single target physical damage, the Druid uses Fissure and Volcano as supporting damage for AoE and Physical Immunes. The Fire Summoner Druid invests heavily into the Summon tree to conjure up beefy pets to fight his way through the hordes of Hell, one bite at a time. And there is something very wrong with me too cause I made a build around just that. Have you ever wanted to be able to summon a whole another player character to do your bidding? Take all the hits, aggro all the monsters, deal all the damage? Then there’s something very wrong with you.
