Starting a caster druid and wondering which element may be the best for druids in Sigma? Freezing Gale or Plague Avatar? Or maybe a different?

And especially without very special / rare equipment ...

Freezing Gale is probably bad in later ubers because you're immobile while casting. Plague Avatar still does damage after casting it once. Whatever the case, Rain of Fire is awesome against single targets, like bosses.

Well, I'm leveling a caster druid myself using Freezing Gale. But honestly, Plague avatar would most likely be a better choice, since you're more mobile that way.

And yes, 1 point for Rain of fire should be enough.

Plague avatar is not viable later in the game even with rly good gear it sucks compared to elemental / other skills imo.

I play with elemental. Once you increase their number (to 5-6) and damage it becomes less and less a targeting spell and you can just spam it in uber farming and plow through everything. For bosses i agree that rain of fire is the best.

Bardamu gave you the answer, elemental is the most efficient to farm with. Once you have the items / farm / charms you can try a skill build based on items with "stormfront" o skill. This one should be in my opinion the best caster druid build out there
