[S4] Fire Elemental Druid Build for Project Diablo 2

Fire Druid is one of the strongest builds for Mapping in PD2's Season 4, but it requires a very specific approach if you want to unlock its full potential. To make the most out of it, we've combinedthe Molten Boulder with high amounts of bonus Fire Damage, minuses to Enemy Fire Resistance, Amplify Damage Buff from the Mercenary, all Synergies, and as many Fire Facets as possible. The results are simply astonishing - the followingFire Druid build offers very high mobility, great survivability, and amazing fire+physical damage output.

The featured version of Fire Druid is fully capable of clearing high-density Tier 2 and 3 Maps at very high speeds, thanks to its amazing AoE Damage output. To ensure that things go smoothly, you should avoid maps with high numbers of fire absorbs, however.

As per usual with PD2 Builds, you want to get as many Skill Levels (Druid/Elemental Skills in this case) as possible to increase the build's overall power level. Also, any bonuses to Fire Damage, minuses to Enemy Fire Resistance, and Sockets (that can be filled with Fire Facets that boost Fire Damage)are very welcome as well. Resistances are extremely important, so you should have them capped and maybe even increased, depending on where you want to go with the build. A faster cast rate is also the main stat(the higher the breakpoint, you can achieve, the better - within a reason of course). Defensive stats, like faster hit recovery and absorbs, are a nice addition but you should not choose gearfor them specifically.

Mang Song's Lesson(Archon Staff) - An all-out offensive choice that will work the best in group play where someonealways watches your back. By picking it up, you take care of your FCR and Fire pierce needs with a single item, basically. However, your defenses suffer greatly as you can't use a shield with it.
