Stat

Points to Invest

Notes

Strength

167

You'll want to hit 167 by sometime around level 63 if you want to use either of the recommended Best in Slot (BiS) weapons recommended in this guide. This will more than cover the Strength requirements of your other gear items. That's all you need.

Dexterity

103

This is the minimum Dexterity required for the Tomb Reaver BiS unique weapon; again, cover this and all your needs will be covered. Since this weapon isn't usable until level 65, you don't need to rush this stat.

Vitality

Max

Put all remaining points here.

Energy

None

You will struggle a bit for the first few levels, but everyone does. You may wish to put 15-20 points in this early just to get through the early levels, but honestly you don't really need it.

Description

Werewolf
20 points

This is your primary Shapeshift form, and you're going to want to max this ability out eventually. Consider putting your first few points into this when you start out, then fill it out later. Also a prerequisite for Lycanthropy, so your first point will go here. Put your next five points into Ravens, and one point into Spirit Wolf and Oak Sage before returning to invest more points here.

Lycanthropy
10 points

Lycanthropy increases your Life while Shape Shifted and increases the duration of your Shape Shifted form. Bonus Life increases by 5% per level, starting at 20% at level 1, and bonus duration increases by 20 seconds each level, starting at 40 seconds at level 1. Put your second point here.

10 points of Lycanthropy extends your Werewolf time to just over three and a half minutes, and +Skill items will extend that. The Life bonus on Lycanthropy is only 5% per level and only affects you; you can do better for you and your minions by maxxing Oak Sage earlier and investing those extra points into your much-more-powerful Summons.

Feral Rage
1 point

Feral Rage is a charge-up skill that greatly increases its power as you hit your target. Three hits with Feral Charge is enough to get the maximum amount of Bonus Attack, Life Leech, and Bonus Velocity. A red orb circles you; the bigger the orb, the more effective it is. You will use this as a main attack until you get to invest points in Fury.

Rabies
1 point

Prerequisite to Fury.

Fury
20 points

Fury is your main attack ability which increases attack, damage, and the number of hits. Hits max out at level 4 (five hits per strike), but attack and damage both continue to rise. Each Fury application hits a single target, but this will alternate among all enemies in range, giving it an AoE-like effect. It's similar to the Paladin ability Zeal, except that Fury is interruptible. As of patch 2.4, Fury has increased speed between attacks by 40% and the Attack Rating bonus has changed from 7% to 10% per level.

Summoning Point Distribution for Fury Werewolf

Skill

Min cLvl

Description

Ravens
5 points

Ravens got a major buff in Patch 2.4 and are very strong on their own, and it's definitely worth picking up 5 points early so you can have all 5 going at once. Put 4 points here after investing 1 each in Werewolf and Lycanthropy, pick up Spirit Wolf and Oak Sage, and then get your last point here. They receive a 12% Damage synergy for each level you have invested in your Wolves and Bear, so they become more effective as you build your other minions.

Oak Sage
20 points

Oak Sage is a passive summoned minion that increases the Life of all party members. Amount of life increases by 5% per level, and the covered radius increases as well. You can only use one Spirit at a time. It has gotten a lot tougher since Patch 2.4, but still pay attention to keep it up at all times since it remains relatively squishy. You don't need that many points early on, so concentrate on other priorities first. It's more useful by Hell levels.

Summon Spirit Wolf
12 points

Spirit Wolves become much more important for a few reasons. First, they're a Physical attack that adds Cold damage, which helps against Physical immunes. Second, they give two synergies to Dire Wolves and Grizzly, not just one -- +25% Attack Rating and +10% Defense per level. They are also a bit better than other minions at teleporting to keep up with you. Get 5 points early in this so you can have all 5 Spirit Wolves with you.

Summon Dire Wolf
10 points

Dire Wolves are very tough, and give a 15% per level Life synergy to your Spirit Wolves and Grizzly. This is actually the least useful synergy, since your minions don't end up dying much and can be recast on demand. Get 3 points so you have all 3 Dire Wolves early, and then depend on +Skill items later to beef them up.

Summon Grizzly
10 points

The Grizzly is a tough tank, but slow on its feet and very likely to wander out/not get into the action, particularly if you have a lot of foot speed. Learn to reposition your Grizzly into the action with a strategic recast. It offers a 10% Damage synergy per level to both types of Wolves, so max out Grizzly before maxxing out Dire Wolves for the more valuable synergy.

Leveling as a Fury Werewolf in Diablo II: Resurrected Ladder Season 13Best Mercenary for Fury Werewolf in Diablo II: Resurrected Ladder Season 13

Weapon - The classic mercenary Runeword weapon Pride is highly recommended due to the Concentration aura. Fury is a great ability, but it can be interrupted, and Pride greatly reduces the chance of interrupts. The elemental damage of this weapon can also help the Druid deal with Physical Immunes in later difficulty levels. Since you can't get this until level 67, an early strong choice is the runeword Insight (level 27), which offers the Meditation aura. This eliminates any need for the Druid to worry about mana, as this powerful aura will more than keep the mana tank topped off. If you don't have Atma's Scarab amulet, the Unique polearm The Reaper's Toll can help, since the mercenary will gain a 33% chance of casting Decrepify on striking, decreasing your enemy's Physical resistance.

Helm - Vampire's Gaze makes your mercenary a more powerful tank, which you'll need since you're primarily a DPS class. Between a tanky mercenary and your bear, you'll have plenty of protection. Another possible choice is the Crown of Thieves, which not only gives your mercenary extra survivability through Life Leech, its extra gold find makes sure your mercenary pays for his own upkeep.

Body Armor - The runewords Fortitude and Treachery are both good choices, depending on how you want your Mercenary to focus. Fortitude is a more defensive build, while Treachery creates a more DPS-focused Mercenary.

Small Charms - Fury Werewolves should look for Charms that give All Resistances, Attack Rating, Hit Recovery, and Life. Picking up extra Resistances from Charms will make the higher difficulty levels easier to deal with. The unique charm Annihilus is the best Small Charm available, granting +Skills, +All Attributes, +All Resistances, and 5-10% extra experience. This charm only drops off Uber Diablo.

Large Charms - The same traits you will look for in Small Charms will also be available in Large Charms. Small Charms tend to scale better, so look for Small Charms to replace Large down the road. The unique Large Charm Hellfire Torch grants +Skills, + Attributes, and +All Resistances. This charm drops from the Pandemonium event.

Grand Charms - For Grand Charms, you'll want anything with +Shape Shifting skills. All of your main attacks are there, so it's the most important tree to boost. The unique Grand Charm is Gheed's Fortune, giving big boots to Magic Find and Gold Find, and reduces vendor prices by 15%. Additionally, you have the option of using the Unique Grand Charm, The Bone Break, to break enemy Physical immunity - an incredibly powerful effect for builds primarily relying on Physical Damage.
