Summon druid is my latest build - Making builds that I never made before.

+41 to summons with fanata act 1 merc + Decrep cast werewolf form.

7 skillers
Anni
Torch
Nigma
bk
Raven frost
shako
maras
cta+spirit switch bo+summon+werewolf transform
Reapers mainhand - To kill phys immunes



Act 1 merc
Fanta bow
thinking of making thorns armor - Forty for now
andys helm



+20 Bear, Spirit wolf, Dire Wolf, Oak Sage, Raven.
+1 into werewolf, mastery, fury.



So far my tactics have been to just run it down with wolf and everything dies. You have so much life that life tap doesnt really matter when decrep is casted like other melee's with lower life pool.
on bosses, I refresh ravens + bo then tele on boss to cast battle cry.
Boss is weakened by war cry, summons remain alive and I transform to werewolf.
Switch to Mainhand reapers and melt with decrep.


Another playstyle I was thinking is to use Vigor bow in mainhand but then we have no decrep for phys immunes. It was fun running nm baals with vigor and fanta. (no phys immunes in nm)

Another playstyle could just be maxing summon skills further, no werewolf and use hoto+spirit for summons for +43 but then we would have slower attack speed and need to get act 2 merc with reapers and might aura. Could get holy freeze if need more defense in p8 hell games.


Im just getting into hell now 76 summon druid on the way!

I bet my 1 point in bind demon still annihilate your entire pet army

bear does 4k base dmg
all wolves do 1k base dmg
+fanta mmmm

how much does demon do?

Demon can solo ubers

I seen that but that would be cool to see act 1 fanta merc + druid summons vs 1 demon xD

Don't even need to bind a physical immune demon

If you’ve played one before, how does it compare to a summon necro in your opinion?

summon necro is on my list. I have most of the gear for it.

I made summon druid first.

I was going to make a pure melee skelly necro with insight iron golem.

In my testing so far bear seems to be similar to golem.

wolves are like 5 skelly's in one unit.

I cant really say yet. I might be able to get +50 necro skills I just need to get some summon gc's. Wand can get +5 to melee skelly's +2 shield.

Then u have amp dmg u can cast at any time on necro. I think that might be way more convenient.

However, it has been very convenient to summon all mobs on wp instead of as you kill mobs with necro.

I can comment more after I make my summon necro later.

It’s basically a summon necro without curses or CE.

Never understood why so many people seem to love the idea.

well I can go into werewolf and help attack with my summons.

Decrep casts all the time with reapers in werewolf+fury.

Even just 1 skill into werewolf and fury does a lot of damage.

MY ONLY HATE for summon druid so far is that we cannot tele while in werewolf form.

EDIT:
I have to tranform back to human - bo + summons + tele on switch.
Then I werewolf transform and switch wep again back to reapers.
