Fury stats

You only need to put in enough attribute points into strength and dexterity for the gear you have equipped. The rest of the points should go into vitality. Don’t worry about putting any points into energy as the Druid doesn’t use much mana for this build.

The skills are where the Fury build gets a little more complicated. Most of the skills are mandatory, however, you have two different difficult decisions to make. Your first decision is whether you max out the skill points of Heart of the Wolverine or Oak Sage. Heart of the Wolverine summons a spirit that increases the party’s damage and attack rating stats, which is great for raw damage.
