↖ The Tempest Roar and Mad Wolf's Glee

While it excels in speed farming, consider using a legendary chest piece for more challenging content like level 100 nightmare dungeons.

To kickstart the Tornado Build, we need the following essential items:

• Tempest Roar (Helmet): This is a must-have item as it allows us to use Tornado in werewolf form. A bit challenging to acquire, but the rewards are worth it!
• Mad Wolf's Glee (Chest Piece): Grants +4 ranks to all werewolf skills. Although the tooltip says +3 ranks, it's actually +4 when fully upgraded. This is a significant boost to our damage output.

↖ Skill Tree

• Wind Shear: Utilize this range generator to cause enemies to become vulnerable, perfect for speed farming.
• Tornado: Your main damaging ability, with a chance to spawn additional tornadoes and cause enemies to become vulnerable.
• Cyclone Armor: Invest a single point for non-physical damage reduction and knockback effects.
• Bloodhound: A primary source of healing, reduce the cooldown for every kill and gain an attack speed increase.
• Hurricane: Offers a slowing effect and reduces enemy damage, making it a potent skill for proccing additional effects.

↖ Grizzly Rage and Perfect Storm

Grizzly Rage is a crucial skill that provides significant damage increase and makes you unstoppable for six seconds. Upgrade it to fortify you for every second it's active. Your Capstone, Perfect Storm, grants Spirit and increased damage to vulnerable, immobilized, or slowed enemies, ensuring constant regeneration and damage boost.

↖ Passives

Choose Heart of the Wild, Wild Impulses, and Predatory Instinct for increased Critical Strike chance. Invest in increased movement speed in werewolf form for better mobility. Vigilance provides damage reduction for six seconds after using a defensive skill, synergizing well with Bloodhowl.

↖ Legendary Aspects

• Grizzly Rage Aspect: Grants up to 75% Spirit cost reduction for tornadoes, enabling infinite casting during Grizzly Rage.
• The Barber's Wrathful Heart: Converts Critical Strike damage into explosive bursts on enemies, amplified by the Barber's unique mechanics.
• Druid Aspect (Pull of the Forest): Pulls up to 50 enemies towards you during Grizzly Rage, setting them up for massive AOE damage with The Barber.

↖ Gear and Gems

Optimize your gear with stats like Critical Strike chance, Critical Strike damage, damage reduction while fortified, and damage reduction from poisoned enemies. Use gems like The Exploit Glyph, Heightened Malice, Undaunted, and more to further enhance your damage and survivability.

Crucial Hearts and Spirit Boons

Make sure to acquire the following crucial hearts and Spirit Boons:

• Wrathful Heart (1st): The Barber, which enhances Tornado's damage significantly. Alternatively, use a Barbaric Heart for 105 attack speed with Blood Howl.
• Wrathful Heart (2nd): Every 5 seconds above 60% life, core skills cost life instead of primary resources and deal 28% increased damage. This boosts our damage output considerably.
• Wrathful Heart (3rd): A Brutal Heart is recommended for now, but a Vicious Heart would be ideal with extra Critical Strike damage.

For Spirit Boons, focus on reduced damage from Elites, increased Critical Strike chance and damage, extended duration of ultimate skills, and Calm before the Storm to reduce cooldowns when casting Tornado.

↖ Conclusion

The Tornado Druid with The Barber's Wrathful Heart variation excels in both speed farming and handling tougher content. Whether you prefer to tackle hordes of enemies or take on formidable bosses, this build is sure to deliver exceptional results.
