Druid Leveling Build Overview
 Frost Wolf Druid |
 Frost Bomb Creates a pulsing Orb of Frost. Each pulse inflicts Cold Exposure on nearby Enemies. When the Orb's duration ends, it explodes, dealing Cold damage to surrounding Enemies.
 Herald of Ice While active, Shattering an enemy with an Attack Hit will cause an icy explosion that deals Attack damage to surrounding enemies.
 Overwhelming Presence While active, enemies in your Presence are easier to Stun and inflict Elemental Ailments upon.
 Lunar Assault Shapeshift into a Werewolf and swipe with your claws, projecting an arc of moonlight and ice forward in a crescent.
 Lunar Blessing Shapeshift into a Werewolf and offer your Rage to the moon to receive a blessing, gaining bonus Cold damage, Attack speed and movement speed for yourself and any Wolf Minions you have from Wolf Pack or Predator's Mark. Spends all Rage to extend the Buff's duration. While the Buff is active, your WerewolfAttacks call down Moonbeams on Hit.
 Cross Slash Shapeshift into a Werewolf and leap backwards as you gouge the ground with both claws. Hitting a Marked enemy with both gouges will Activate the Mark and cause an additional shockwave. Ice Fragments will be pulled into the location where the gouges cross and explode immediately. This skill can be used while using other skills to interrupt them.
 Thunderstorm Conjure a thunderstorm which causes lightning strikes and torrential rain in an area. Enemies in the area are Drenched, causing them to become Shocked or Frozen more easily. Plants in the area become Overgrown.
 Pounce Shapeshift into a Werewolf and leap to a target location, damaging enemies in an area around where you land. Predator's Mark will be Triggered targetting the highest Rarity enemie Hit, or if a Mark gem is socketed into this Skill, that Mark will be Triggered instead. Using this skill allows any Wolf Minions you have to leap immediately.

Weapons
Try to get a solid Vicious Talisman with additional modifiers that increase Physical and Cold Damage, and Level of Melee Skills to further maximize your damage output as you progress.
Make sure to keep updating your Talisman with the highest based damage possible while you progress through later Acts to prevent any damage fall offs.
Armor and Accessories
The Druid's main survivability revolves around heavy use of Energy Shields and Armor, so prioritize armor pieces that provide both Armor and Energy Shields as you progress. Take note to always prioritize boots with higher Movement Speed modifiers as this can help you traverse the early acts faster and also make evading enemy attacks easier.
As for your Accessories, equip a Stellar Amulet to help you meet the Attribute requirements of your Support Gems. Sapphire Ring will help reach the Elemental Resistance cap, while Iron Ring will maximize your damage output for faster clear times.

Frost Wolf Druid Passive Tree
Passive Tree Progression
The leveling passive tree for the Frost Wolf Druid build focuses on increasing your damage output through Elemental and Attack Damage. Make your way to Primal Spirit for the increased Skill Speed and Critical Chance, and then head back to Bastion of the Forest for more Armor and to scale Elemental Damage with it. Get Personal Touch and Shifted Strikes as you progress for more Attack Damage.
Prioritize unlocking your Oracle ascendancy and get The Unseen Path so you can start using the new Passive nodes such as Comradery for flat damage and Hidden Forms for that extra damage while in Werewolf form. For your third and fourth Ascendancy point, we highly recommend getting Entwined Realites so can start getting Keystone passives that can allocate unconnected nearby nodes.
Lastly, make your way to Sigil of Ice and Cold Nature for more Cold damage, especially against Chilled enemies. Make sure to get Limitless Pursuit as well for the added movement speed to help you traverse and clear maps faster as you finish up the campaign. After that, start making your way to Spirit of the Bear for more damage and all the way to Blessing of the Moon for longer Freeze durations. Once you have slotted in the Ancestral Bond keystone passive, make to get these following nearby notable passives:
- Dimensional Weakspot
- Dangerous Blossom
- Stormcharged
- Spirit of the Wyvern
- Deadly Thorns
- Electrified Claw
- Endlessly Soaring
- Scales of the Wyvern
