Coldhunger

Coldhunger
Wolf Head (Sacred)
Defense: (1842 - 2082) to (1915 - 2165)
(Druid Only)
Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 500
Item Level: 105
4% Chance to cast level 40 Ice Lance on Striking
+(1 to 2) to Druid Skill Levels
Adds 13-38 Damage
Adds 30-35 Cold Damage
(14 to 17)% Life stolen per Hit
-(29 to 35)% to Enemy Cold Resistance
+(115 to 143)% Enhanced Defense
+(41 to 50) to Dexterity
+(41 to 50) to Vitality
Cold Resist +(30 to 50)%
Socketed (4)

is just a placeholder until you craft a better option, since it's relatively easy to find and -35 pierce on a max roll is really nice.

I just cant find coldhunger...cubed 5 rare wolfheads, but nothing, always getting big bad XD

it's an SU, it can't be crafted, you can only find it or trade for it

My video about Banshee druid based on this guide. Hope it helps you guys on having a good look about the build. Fun and strong to play.

Great Guide, enjoing it so far!
I've completed all 110 and below challenges - mostly without difficulties.
Creature of Flame and Akarat were a bit finicky, but easy to manage.

EDIT1: Finished all 115s except Bull Prince - He's just a pain to deal with.

Looks like 1.5 patch doesn't bring any core changes for the build, and we couldn't be more happy about that since char is perfectly balanced as it is right now. So guide is up to date and Caster Druid will still be a great starter char for the next ladder!

On another note, since many oskills and affixes have been reworked, there may be new and cool possibilities for endgame oskill based builds. We will update the section if something catches our attention.

I never did figure out where to farm with this build once you hit 120 and are in that odd purgatory where you're trying to transition out of poison to a better farming spec. Build's smooth as butter up to that point at least, and I know you can generally start cutting over to ice once you get the 120 tran ath charm.

Usually you want to farm k3k or a bit more slowly Dunc while in TU gear to start collecting Lone Wolf set pieces and as you said switching to cold setup after bringing down Athulua and reaching those 26 points into banshee. Build can farm Teganze pretty well and safely too, but he actually doesn't particulary need a xis as a core item, so Dunc will be more profitable.

can you give me advice where to farm storm gear? especially staff (aerin nexus)

I've done the farm before, but online you're better off just trading for the pieces, as the odds of you seeing three specific SUs in a reasonable timeframe in a season is not likely. Just remember that early season you can easily trade charms, great runes, etc. to get what you need, as the items are overall pretty cheap.

@Bardamu: I just like having trade fodder to get stuff like Biting Frost.
