2. Vexed - You can optionally use two of this curse for a damaging roar when your minions are summoned on cooldown.​​

3. Wired - Optional to create an AoE damage surge of lightning on kill that jumps between enemies on cooldown.

​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.

3. Echoing Shade - Gives 1-3 minions that also increase your critical hit chance with the Shepherd's Call to Wolves set.

4. Golden Firmament - Causes multiple ranged wind attacks and increases your evasion rating.

5. Blood Floe - A strong legendary gem that increases damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes bleed.

6. Wulfheort - Slashes enemies after every 5 times they are damaged and increases you and your allies attack speeds.

7. Starfire Shard - Deals area of effect damage, creates ground damage that burns enemies, and stuns enemies.

8. Maw of the Deep - Used at a high rank to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.​

Note: The skill damage on the Colossus Engine five star gem doesn't increase the damage of your summoned minions.

 

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies that have a continuous damage effect on them.

2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes a blood spike that makes enemies bleed.

3. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

4. Fervent Fang - Gives enemies a stacking damage taken increase when they're hit by an attack.​

5. Igneous Scorn - Can be combined with Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament to deal damage on critical hits.

6. Viper's Bite - A low priority gem that poisons enemies which isn't needed to trigger the Pain Clasp gem on this build.

7. Mourneskull - This legacy gem increases your damage and deals damage but it's currently drop disabled.

8. Crimson Behelit - A strong legacy gem with increased damage and reduced damage taken that's drop disabled.

Note: The Pain Clasp legendary gem is already triggered by burning damage on this build so Viper's Bite isn't required.

​​

Best 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Berserker's Eye - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

2. Freedom and Devotion - A budget gem that increases the duration of your minions and increases their damage.

3. Everlasting Torment - A great budget option that deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.

Note: The Entropic Well one star gem isn't recommended because skill damage increases don't work on minions.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience is important for lowering the cooldown of Savior.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Any Savior Familiar - Look for any 170+ Resilience familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills.

4. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting one of the player's skill cooldowns, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

5. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and a combination of Citrines and Topazes for potency and resistances in yellow sockets for the highest refinement. Potency increases harmful effects durations on enemies and resistances decrease harmful effects durations on you. Citrines for potency is preferred if you only care about PvM damage but resistances come into play more with PvP. You should also use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your bound Rubies which give life into one or two Rubies and socket them into your equipment if they give more refinement. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes on the equipment the gems are socketed in.

​

Gem Notes

The Blood Floe gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Echoing Shade legendary gem deals surprisingly high single target damage with the Druids powerful primary attacks and increases your minion count for the critical hit chance increase on the Shepherd's Call to Wolves set. The Golden Firmament 5 star legendary gem is a strong gem that deals wind damage, increases evasion rating, and gives Firestorms when mixed with burning damage which increases your wind damage. When using multiple legendary gems that give increased critical hit chance you should also consider using Reforge Stones to roll critical hit damage on your equipment. This build is primarily for dungeons and challenge rifts because it deals more AoE damage than single target damage. This also means this build isn't recommended for PvP where both Werewolf Druids and Werebear Druids do much better.​
