Hello everyone!
I play wind druid, have reached lvl 91.
My druid have shako, mara, anni, torch, arach belt… but anyway - yesterday i was killed by ubers.
My druid stats:
Hurricane (cold) damage = above 2k
Tornado (physical) damage = above 4k
Resists - all 90%
I can kill everyone (even immunes) on hell difficulty, but i was brutally killed by UberDuriel.
So any tips on how to build my wind druid to be able to beat ubers?
I guess i have to wear items which has Crushing blow? What else you can suggest me?
What am i doing wrong?
I really like playing D2R, especially with wind druid, but how to make it kill ubers and not die?
Please dont offer me to respec my druid into fury druid, because i love playing wind.
Thank you 
The main problem is you don´t ll as caster.
Your life pool must be hugh (without your spirit maybe with bo 2,5k life?).
Resists all 90 is the same as any meele. Lighting must be >300 for mehpisto.
CB dont work for you.
Go to youtube and search for wind druid uber tristram. You find some helps for you.

Most uber builds rely on melee damage with crushing blow and open wounds to do damage quickly and prevent life regen, and high life leech and/or life tap for survival. Spells do not benefit from any of those modifiers…
Equipping your merc with a reapers toll for decrepify curse will probably be a big help to slow enemies and increase your physical damage. Stack as much resists and damage reduction and skillers as possible. Since you don’t have a reliable way to leech back life you need to kill as quickly as possible and have another way to reduce incoming damage, and a lot of full rejuvs.
I think you are in for a rough time but if you are determined you can probably get it done… i was able to fine a pretty comprehensive guide searching the interwebs for “d2 wind druid ubers” so maybe look around.

I heard that Blizzard will do a class balance changes in next coming patch, does it mean that also druid will be somehow upped, so he could do Ubers?
Maybe they will rebalance some of the wind skills, but I wouldn’t expect major changes to tornado/hurricane since that is already one of the more powerful druid builds. They mentioned fire skills and summoning skills as the focus of druid balance changes, as well as arctic blast. I don’t think it will have a major impact to your ability to complete the ubers with your current build.

There is only two? Combos that can do Uber and PvM really powerful:
hammerdin (and he goes melee lol) and summon necro
WTF. Why cannot every class, every build be so powerful, that can deal with ubers.
I like wind druid, i played it 20 yrs ago, now also playing windy, so if i want to kill ubers, i have to lvlup different class, different build.
That is not fair to my mind.
Maybe not, but d2 is not fair at all.
No meele build can do PvM like caster… even if you do “splash dmg” like Mods, the kill speed is slow.
That why the meele can do uber :P?
