Shred Druids Need Some Love

SOS over here. Druid main since Diablo 2 LOD days. Had 99 fury druid with 1.9 full bis gear (160/60 max armor, cruel fanged knife of quickness, 3/20/20 charms, etc etc)

If you take a look at the Druid discord, it’s a resonating feeling that the recent buffs/changes to classes, druids in particular, reflect that it feels like no one on the dev side is maining a melee Druid.

Please work on letting Shred builds be viable in end-game again Pit etc. Shred druids felt amazing prior to the S1 nerfs, and have really never felt the same since, meanwhile Pulverize builds continually dominated. We need some new legendary aspects that enhance Shred builds, and more itemization options.

Offtopic Hot take: Let Druids (and all classes really) use shields and 1h/2H swords, stop with these arbitrary restrictions that have no basis. Let players decide how they want to play! PVP isn’t a thing at this point and has never been a focus, so why not let players decide what style of items they want to use?

Poison Druid needs love too. I been playing Rabies Druid since Diablo 2.
When I want to play Poison Druid I go back to D2R and let D4 stew for a while.
