Ok guys, so who are you gonna play next season? I saw that they’re improving companions potential and that there’s been a bug regarding hurricane on PTR, so hurricane is most probably going to be nerfed. Putting that aside, what do you think: what will be the most efficient Druid build for the upcoming season? Items farming, Ubers, pits, etc. Don’t know anything about the class, last played druid in 2004 and was asking for DUDU 20/20 on public chat.
4 Defensive Fleshrender with Tornado and Poison Creeped is my top pick (please be fixed Cyclonic Force Aspect).
Shred w/ Lacerate is a close second since Bulwark CD and duration can be cranked up hardcore. Also, Druid has more resource generation choices were you won’t feel gassed or shoe horned, particularly so with the Waxing Gibbous and Unsatiated Aspect buffs.
The problem with Bulwark is that it scales off of base life and not max life.
I agree with Tornado as possibly strongest druid build for S4, but would probably go pets.

True, butttttt (fingers crossed on the synergy) I do plan on investing towards barrier generation, possiblyyyy using diamonds in armor, and lots of CDR and Bulwark CDR. On Live, I have 33.8% CDR and 10.59 Bulwark CD, so repadding the barrier with kills between reups will def be key (otherwise have to seek out other unstoppable sources).
Here is to hoping it gets updated to Max Life in the future! 
Also, will have to check out Ravens size increase cause it does seem tempting.
Yes but rabies instead of tornado for me. I am actually really sad they are changing changeling’s debt to just increased damage when hit by werebear skills. Exploding the poisons is the most insanely fun thing about using debilitating roar with fleshrender right now. Losing that is going to be very unfortunate.

At least you can stack a lot more wisdom with greater affixes, makes you wonder if Fleshrender can actually be usable for its effect now or Esadoras on Sorc. I’m not sure why they destroyed Druids ability to use stacks of poison with blurred beast and chan. debt.
I’m such a big hater of blurred beast because of shred requiring you to move away from an enemy for the dash to happen, so it’d be okay to me if blurred beast was ripped out of the game until shred is changed.
For sure and honestly the poison upgrade of shred needs to dash all 3 times and apply poison imo. I don’t know of one build that takes that upgrade.
