With 2.0 I wanted to try a straight forward melee char. Started with WW barb but soon realize it's not very high ping friendly. Switched to Werebear druid and had a blast since then.
The last Werebear guide hasn't been maintained in a while, and it got some questionable gear choice imo so I wanna make a new one in hope it would help some other new players like me.
Disclaimer: I'm not a very good player myself, so any critic/guidance is welcome.
Build summary
Pros
► Show Spoiler
- - you're a bear with abs
- bear is both cool and cute
- 1 button gaming most of the time (if you're into that)
- tanky and straight forward
- decent damage
Cons
► Show Spoiler
- - namelock melee making farming certain areas a pain
- namelock melee making certain uber bosses a pita
- 1 button gaming most of the time (if you're not into that)
- wdm build so shrine craft gear kinda shit for us. And thus we have to compete for gear with many wdm builds out there, which makes our endgame gear quite expensive.
Stat
All in strength. Bears need abs
Skill plan
► Show Spoiler
- Nature:
- - Barkskin: max
- - Symbiosis: max
- Vine Companion: max (early/mid game) / 0 (late game)
- Faerie Fire: late game max
Mastery
- - Melee Devotion: max aka. 1
- Tenacity: max if you has yet to hit 50% physical resistance from gear/charm, and 0 otherwise
- Endurance: dump your spare point here
For me currently each point in Barkskin give more life (not to mention the extra defense) than each point in Endurance. Thus always prioritize Barkskin before this.
- Purity: if you no longer need Tenacity then 1 pt here won't hurt
Werebear
- - Werebear Morph: max
- Bestial Potency: max or 3 or 4
Depend on which level of slow you want.
- Primal Dominance: max
This alone solves our fhr so we don't have to care about it at all, and that sweet AR
- Hunger: 1
Scaling for this passive is horrible. And it's cap at 20 geeze who thought of that.
- Idol of Scosglen: max
- Ancestral Protection: max
Max Ancestral Protection cause each base level of Idol of Scosglen give 30% bonus defense which is pretty good. You can choose to put less point in Idol if you're strap with points
- Ancestral Force: 0
We are not Melee Pally, cant spam button too often can we. Bears have fat fingers. Before 2.0 I kinda dislike the Bear playstyle due to having to cast idol every 5s, and it's still only 80% up time. No way I'm taking this now. Nothing stopping you from taking it tho, beside carpal tunnel maybe.
- Rend: 1 (early game), 5-10 mid game, 10+ endgame
Our main 1 button skill. Rend doesn't scale that amazing with base level. And it increase our mana cost by quite a bit, so beware to not throw too many points more than your mana steal can handle. At late game if you got nothing else to put point in then can dump the rest into Rend.
Breakpoints

The online calculator is our best friend: https://dev.median-xl.com/speedcalc/
You can go there, select Werebear, 2-handed axe and the chosen base, then play around with the number.
Misc:
- Weapon Attack Speed (WAS): the AS number on your weapon
- Attack Speed: the value above + attack speed from skill/gear/charm. D2stat shows this as IAS on page 1.
- The game engine is 24 frame per sec
- 6 x Gul rune + 5 AS MO gives 120 Weapon Attack Speed
- 6 x Gur rune + 5 AS MO gives 150 Weapon Attack Speed
Attack breakpoints
Great Axe / Giant Axe
Attack Speed: <= 506

The Attack Speed to reach here is 317, which is trivial to reach if you're using the set so I wont go into numbers for case below it

Primal Dominance allows us to reach 4 fpa here without doing anything. I don't think there's a need to go for 3 fpa but you can try via charm & jewels if you like.

Tip: Oil of luck bonus cannot exceed 200% ed cap (though superior item bonus can in runeword case). So you should use oil of luck first before topping up the enhance damage/defense with MO after

We can start using MO when there's spare gold (and level slot) lying around
- Weapon: %enhance-damage to 200% cap -> attack speed (AS) to hit breakpoint -> AR -> deadly strike
- Body & Belt: %enhance-defense to 200% cap (these 2 base item slot has high base def) -> dex (for AR) -> max damage -> str
- Gloves, Boots, Helm: dex -> max dmg -> str -> %ed
Sockets:
Perfect Bloodstone/Amber/Onyx/Turquoise for resist
Mid game (~105-120~)
► Show Spoiler
At this point we should focus more on damage compare to survivability, mainly because the skill tree gives a lot of tankiness but quite lacking in damage. I actually SSF all the gear mentioning his this section.
Weapon:
The TU is still good here but at one point you will feel the damage is lacking. Then it's time to craft a new axe. This is the only slot where we shrine craft so can afford to use 2 imbue rare (a1 quest reward) for 2 axe (for incremental craft, use one and craft one until better, then switch and continue).
Just remember to check d2stat weapon damage section (page 2) to see how much a newly craft actually give compare to your current option. Be mindful of the breakpoint too, as sometimes the weapon has big base number but no AS roll, thus unable to hit certain breakpoint compare to a lower base one with AS.
If you're unsure between 2 options, compute
(The above formula doesn't accountfor the add damage from Rend itself but it should be close enough approximation)
Body Armor:
Boots:
Elq rune only took 4 Zod to create. Earth can be farm in Tenganze. Very affordable
Gloves:
Without much dex from charm our AR is still dumpster fire at this point.
Belt:
Dyaus Pita is fucking awesome. Almost all its properties is extremely useful for us.

Amulet:
Some times in early mid game, you see your chance to hit and shred a slight tear as sometimes it's below 50%. Athulua's Oracle is here to save your day.
Rings: Assur's Bane / random rares
Stat to look out for: flat physical dmg, +skill, str/dex, MF. If you manage to find things like

Poor man
Weapon + Helm + Belt + Gloves:
It's extremely hard to beat this full set with shrine crafted Giant Axe. The 100-150 add dmg bonus at full set means you're competing with a (350-500) dmg weapon, with 50% weapon AS roll and 200%+ AR on top. The 5% extra chance to avoid & Curare (3% max poison res) are awesome defensive bonus. Not to mention the crazy 135% ewd and the fact that it's quite easier for large axe to reach 5 fpa compare to Great Axe and Giant Axe make this set a no brainer option.

MOs & Sockets: same as mid game really. Though if you wanna run lab more then less runewords and more uniques for max res gems.
Progression
► Show Spoiler
Normal
a1: pick up all runes. Be mindful to pick up superior white item to make the starting runewords.
a2-3: once gotten the AC from Jehryn in a2, you should have enough to make the Weapon TU. Gamble a t2 Great Axe and make it with 2 AC & Oil of enhancement. Uptier the axe at lvl 44 and 53 respectively.
a4-5: After weapon I prioritize making the TU boots & gloves, then belt & helm. It doesnt impact much at this point though.
Remember to do the level challenge at Baal.
Nightmare
Not much to mention here beside trying to keep up your AR, else you're not gonna have a fun time.
Hell
We can do all uber up until 120 ones right when they're available. For those charms that give attributes and/or experience gain, it's worth to rerun for higher rolls.

Those that not mentions here means it's really easy/ nothing special. Just namelock and bearslap them away.
Quov Tsin
MO all your rings & amulet with pdr (60 pdr)

Socket some max res gems.
Now he doesnt do anything to you. I facetank him at 108 pdr without any issue.
Kingdom of Shadows
This area is desync hell, especially when our bear is so fast. And there's no /oos in Median XL. Even though our char is theoretical good here, I was quite frustrate running this thing. Socket Turquoise here and run like hell. When you suddenly keep taking hit while nothing of sort on screen, quick Jitan Gate back (and not forward in case it's out of range of your desync true position). Picking up the charm itself after the king die is also pita.
Judgement Day
An early dps check. You would have a tough time if still using the TU Axe here. Time to craft sth better. Also kill Imperius first.
Bremmtown
Once again ping is an issue. Often the howling spirit do not pounce on your character but some invisible man half screen behind. Well that's because you has lag and they pounce on the true you. Thus you need to spam click not on your screen character (no attack will come because it's out of range and then you just die), but the spirit themselves.
Astrogha
If you own
Turn off Faerie Fire (to not accidentally kill totem), socket some Onyx to tank extra hit from frozen orb, then just bang your head against the wall. Only took me 30 mins and 30 corpses
Spirit World
I'm getting worse at this game. Used to able to kill her with lesser dps char, but I cant seem to do it with the bear
. The invisible cunt + melee namelock makes a bad experience.
Nephalem's Sacrafice
This isn't really hard, just tedious when dmg is still low + we're melee and all so dmg up time isnt the best.
The phases leading to Uldyssian are quite trivial. In the Prime Evils phase, Memphisto hurts somewhat, so it's best to drag each of them out separately then go into Diablo melee range and just slap him.
We can tank Edyrem summons no issue and kill them fairly fast. Udy himself is tedious but not dangerous. Just be mindful of the star deathstrike after his 2nd stomp/screenshake.
Invasion III
This fight should not be that hard, but it is due to hit box desync being really dumb. In preparation you should stack up a lot of lightning and fire res.
Now for the fight itself, there are 4 things
1) rotate lightning spire - this spell deals like no dmg so dont need to care about it.
2) lightning circle delay strike - dodge this
3) frozen shambler - fire nova - blue circle:
This start with a pulsing red fire mark on the ground, near the boss - this emits a powerful area wide damaging attack that you will see your HP go down rapidly. Soon after that a frozen shambler spawn with a blue circle. The shambler itself doesnt do much, but the blue circle protects us from the fire nova. Stay inside blue circle until the red fire mark is gone.
4) retaliate-like nova:
A blue mark exactly like 3) spawn, but it's blue this time, and always on the top side of the boss. Soon after many nova that looks like paladin's retaliate will pulse out from the boss, and it will kill you. To dodge this stay in melee range of the boss, on the top side . You will die if you stay at bottom side even in melee range. Even then you sometimes still get hit because you've desync and still on the bottom side of the server
Problem arise when 2) overlap with blue circle or safe melee zone of 4). Or the blue circle hitbox is wonky. Sometimes you still takes invisible fire nova dmg when visually you inside the blue. That means you or the circle is desync, and should move close to exactly where the shambler spawn. It's kinda frustrating dying to fire aura when inside the blue circle, or to retaliate nova when you're in melee range due to desync, when boss is at 25% left ngl ...

2 annoying things in this farming place.
Dryads are much more annoying than Fauzt necrobots, as they have chance to flee just like the vodoo jerks in a3 jungle (I hate the chance to flee mechanics honestly, it's so anti-melee farming)
Etherborns frozen breath hurts, and they're tanky ass-hat. So you can skip these guys, or get much more dmg/cold res. The former is easier to do really.
