The druid is an overlooked class in D2R, particularly when it comes to uber clearance, with many opting for the conventional Uber Smiter, or even the new Mosaic Assassin. The druid, however, provides the most affordable option, in addition to providing just as effective uber clearing and torch farming. This build is extremely recommended for a person with minimal wealth and who wants an achievable build to amass wealth.
The goal of the guide would be to help you build a highly effective Uber Wolf that may reach high damage with Fury, have over 5000 life, and get to the most efficient FHR, Crushing Blow, Open Wound, Deadly Strike, Life Leech, and Resistances combo as you possibly can, for efficient solo being.

Gameplay:
As a Fury Druid, you need to keep your Feral Rage stacks up to get maximum bonuses. To do this, hit monsters by using it occasionally in-between bouts of Fury. Additionally, ensure that you consistently re-cast Summons for example Heart of Wolverine and Summon Grizzly when needed to ensure you possess a constant stream of support.
To stay and your summons strong, keep your Battle Command and Battle Orders buffs all the time. With Metamorphosis equipped, transform right into a Werebear and attack the very first monster you encounter with Maul to achieve the "Mark from the Bear" bonuses. Once its stat bonus Aura is confirmed, transform right into a Werewolf.
For the Damage Fury Druid Build Variant, use Brand on Weapon-Swap to simply decimate monsters in High Player Count using its fairly reliable Amplify Damage proc. And finally, when you are looking at defeating Uber Bosses you ought to have all the tools you have to not only survive but deal unhealable, crushing damage.
