Diablo II Hints

Skills: Shape Shifting

  • The Shape Shifting skills allow the Druid the ability to change form to better fight the evil in the land.  The skills are for either Bear of Wolf form.

    Werewolf -- This spell allows you to change into a wolf.  This increases your damage, and the speed of your attack.

    Lycanthropy -- This skill lets you keep the werewolf form for a longer time.  You will need this if you really use either the Werebear or Werewolf skills.

    Feral Rage -- This skill allows you to steal life and attack faster.  It also has a charge up feature, making multiple attacks with this skill a benefit.

    Rabies -- This Werewolf skill allows you to poison your foes.  Even better, if the foes touch each other, they will give each other the poison.  This is great to use on large groups.

    Fury -- Fury allows a werewolf to have multiple attacks, each one with a bonus.

    Werebear -- The skill of Werebear allows you to assume the form of a massive bear.  Your damage rating goes very high, and your life goes up by well over 100%.  This is a great form to be in for fighting very tough single monsters.  One drawback is that speed is significantly reduced.

    Maul -- This skill allows multiple attacks, and in addition, it can stun the target.  This can be a great combination, allowing you to kill a monster before it knows what is hitting it.

    Shockwave -- This skill allows you in Werebear form to generate a circle of stunning power to momentarily stop the enemies that are nearby.  This can be good to make an escape, for example.

    Fire Claws -- This skill adds additional fire damage to your normal Werebear or Werewolf attacks.

    Hunger -- This skill allows you to steal life and mana while you are in your Werebear or Werewolf form.  Damage is dramatically reduced, though.
