Years of study and a life lived in harmony with nature have provided the Druids a unique empathy with the world around them. These skills represent the Druids' ability to influence the forces of nature. Expertise in these skills allows them to strike at enemies from a distance, assault whole groups of enemies at once, and even protect themselves from the elemental attacks of others.

You cannot cast most Elemental Spells while you are in Werewolf or Werebear form.

Prerequisites: Arctic Blast [6]

Twister
Damage Type: Physical
Required Level: 18
Prerequisites: Arctic Blast [6], Cyclone Armor [12]

Effect: Calling to the winds, the Druid sends small whirlwinds advancing into the midst of his enemies, buffeting and stunning them as they go.

The way to use Twister is to lay down a lot of them. It's best to aim past a monster sort of like Barbarian Whirlwind rather than click on a monster and cast. Once you have experience with Twister you can use it more effectively.

Tornado
Damage Type: Physical
Required Level: 24
Prerequisites: Arctic Blast [6], Cyclone Armor [12], Twister [18]

Effect: Manipulating the great winds into a fearsome cyclone, the Druid sends this force of destruction into a throng of opponents, crushing into them and leaving devastation in its wake.

The way to use Tornado is to lay down a lot of them. It's best to aim past a monster sort of like Barbarian Whirlwind rather than click on a monster and cast. Once you have experience with Tornado you can use it more effectively.

Hurricane
Casting Delay: 6 Seconds
Required Level: 30

Effect: Particularly talented Druids can summon this most potent gale of devastation. A fierce storm wreaks havoc around him, while the Druid stays cradled within the gentle calm of its eye.

Hurricane surrounds your character. Move your character close to monsters, and run around them in order to hit them with the Hurricane.

Armageddon
Casting Delay: 6 Seconds
Required Level: 30
Prerequisites: Firestorm [1], Molten Boulder [6], Arctic Blast [6], Fissure [12], Cyclone Armor [12], Twister [18], Tornado [24], Volcano [24], Hurricane [30]

Effect: This terrible force of nature's vengeance rains down flaming stones around the Druid who cast it, pummeling any opponents foolish enough to be caught in its fury.

  • Armageddon works a little differently than expected. Once cast it follows you around. To hit monsters, it's best to move in circles around the monsters until Armageddon hits them. As you get more experienced in using Armageddon, you will better judge how to position your character to get the best use from Armageddon.
  • Armageddon works pretty well with Tornado. You can cast a Tornado while you're waiting to cast another Armageddon.
  • You can cast Armageddon while in Werewolf or Werebear form.
