Blizzard ruined basically everything besides pure fury wolf druids, as gel stated above.


There is a secret non-Druid shapeshift class that is ridiculously good though ;)

There might be one in form of pala or barb that is tanky in form of melee, but for general pvm it would be annoyingly slow, and that defense would be countered by: smite, ga, fury, elementa spells, magic spells and so on with one self having extreame hard time to even catch some1 :p

Melee sorc hits faster without shapechange.
Dream pala bear is already attacking with zeal or charge more effective.
Assa dont have enough tankyness and has faster attacks in human shape.
Amazon is kinda very though in form of dodge, it gets critic for free, but his own jab/cs/bow/fury/plague is more effective. I can see it beeing tanky in melee, using inner sight vs defense and broken Dodge etc. But I still think it would lack ar for melee. She would benefit much dmg on javs in form of statbonus.

Im far from a melee master, so yes there might be a cool none druid build for that, but I can't see any general pvp shaper that would be better in d2r than in d2lod.

Hey all,

Reset is upon us. We have a pretty active gm melee community on D2R that includes multiple wolf Druid players, including myself and the co-author of this guide, inkanddagger!

We have a lot of people who have been eagerly waiting for their new gear to roll over from ladder. People are excited and ready to duel.

If you have a higher level geared gm melee wolf Druid (or other gm melee char) I strongly encourage you to get involved. Consider doing the following:

1) Sign up for the all class gm melee ladder! It officially starts tomorrow at 5pm pst to coincide with ladder reset!! We will have this season run for probably 2 months and give cool trophies to our top 3 competitors at the end along with potential prizes. Sign up here: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=91328821&f=147&o=4520

2) sign up for the Shapeshift ladder, exclusive to shapeshifting classes (both Druid and non-Druid). Currently taking sign ups same as above: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=96378457&f=147

3) Dm me to join a discord of 100+ active gm melee players
