Lycanthropy

Notes

Of the two routes a Druid may go in this skill tree, the Werewolf route is quite solid, this form gives the Druid extra Attack Speed while shifted, as well as bonuses to Attack Rating and Life.

Lycanthropy

Level Requirement: 1

Stats

This is a passive skill that benefits both the Werewolf and the Werebear.

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Life Bonus	20%	25%	30%	35%	40%	45%	50%	55%	60%	65%
Duration	40	60	80	100	120	140	160	180	200	220

Life Bonus	70%	75%	80%	85%	90%	95%	100%	105%	110%	115%
Duration	240	260	280	300	320	340	360	380	400	420

Notes

This skill is always handy to have, it increases the life of the druid when shifted, and the amount of time he stays shifted.

Werebear

Level Requirement: 6

Stats

This skill costs 15 mana, and lasts 40 seconds at all levels (before Lycanthropy's bonus).

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10

Bonus Life: +50%

Synergies

Lycanthropy

Notes

The Bear form of a Druid grants him 50% more life then the Wolf form, he also recieves bonuses to Defense and Damage, this is a form more suited for tanking and dishing out damage. It may not be as fast the Wolf form, but it is no less devastating.

Maul

Level Requirement: 12

Stats

This skill can only be used by Werebears Will always cost 3 mana and lasts 20 seconds. This skill is a charge-up like skill, each successful hit will raise the bonus damage, indicative of a large green sphere circling the Druid.

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Damage Bonus	20-60%	20-80%	20-80%	20-100%	20-100%	20-120%	20-120%	20-140%	20-140%	20-160%

Stun Length (Seconds)	2.9	3	3	3.1	3.2	3.2	3.2	3.3	3.3	3.4

Notes

This is the main skill for a Bear Druid. The duration is simply how long it takes for the effect to wear off if the Druid isn't mauling an enemy, but if one is constantly mauling, it will stay active.

Feral Rage

Level Requirement: 12

Stats

Like Maul this skill has a duration of 20 seconds, and always costs 3 mana. The larger the red sphere circling the Druid, the more life is stolen, and the greater the movement speed bonus is.

Notes

This is a great skill to use throughout the life of a Wolf-based Druid. The bonus to movement speed is especially helpful in many areas. The Life Steal also means one will never need to rely to much on items that grant Life Steal.

Notes

Note that only Wolf Druids can use this skill. When this skill is used, the Druid actually "bites" an enemy, infecting them with poison. Not only does the initial target get infected, but this target can effect other monsters around him until the whole crowd is poisoned.

Special Note: Unlike normal poison damage, in PVP, this skill will kill players, instead of leaving them with 1 life.

Notes

This skill damages and stuns opponents in front of the Druid. This is a sort of cone-shaped area of effect depending on where one selects to cast it (the cone point starting at the Druid himself). The stunning effect is especially useful against various monsters.

Notes

This is the main skill for any Wolf based Druid. This is Zeal in that it will attack 5 times in very quick succession, however the damage bonus is much much greater then Zeal. This skill can be mixed with Feral Rage to recover life very quickly.
