Grimar: It's been *ages* since I played D2 so I can't remember exactly where I put my points but I'll relate to you my last druid build.
The theory behind it is to use the werebear to it's fullest potential, turning the druid into an awesome engine of destruction. Spend attribute points in vitality and strength for at least the first 10-12 levels, then add dexterity in the mix, energy is irrelevant as elemental skills play no part in this build and you just summon your pets in town and then "top-up" as needed. Werebeare/lycanthropy are your main skills backed up with oak sage for some serious life. Other pets should be nothing more than a few ravens and a couple of wolves- creepers are less useful; maul and shockwave help against bosses/uniques. Arm your druid with the highest damage weapons possible- luckily the druid gets fast attack rate with most axes and especially mauls- use them.
Summary: high damage output and the ability to absorb even more with huge health- a very simple build but fun nonetheless

A lot has changed now. Werebears are generally regarded as worse then wolves, and Shockwave doesn't stun properly.

A real shame that as I always thought the wolf to be a little weedy looking. That said though, I should have seen it coming- the wolf has always had the edge in sheer number of skills

I still have no internet in my new flat, so I can only post from work, that's why I haven't posted any more builds

I think it would be excellent if Noober posted a Wind Druid guide since this is a common and popular build. Dottie has promised me to post a Hybrid Assa built, and my husband will make a Hammerdin guide as soon as he has time.

If you look for anything specific, please post it here

I play only PvM, so that's easy for me Many PvP builds can easily be used for PvM too, with minor adjustments. PvP is usually more highly specialised, more demanding on specific points and requires better equipment than PvM, so it's easier to play a PvP build in PvM than the other way around.

Sorry about the delay, I should have the Wind Druid guide up in about 2 days. I need to get my friend to remake my character on open to recheck my stats.
