    Do you mean you may decrease the dmg by half or replace the cold part of the dmg with phys? So it will lead to the use of phys horads instead of cold that wont be useful for hurricane, making hurricane closer to holy freeze.

    Hurricane isn't used for damage already, it is mostly for the buff it gives, but it would likely be changed as well. Tornado / wind druids definitely aren't staying as they are now, they have no weaknesses and can melt anything in the game. Wayyy too strong.

    Tornado is much slower than hurricane in killing trash monsters, for example, for cow lvl/1-2 lvls of cruc. Its an only AOE spell for wind build. Removing cold pierce that horads may give it becomes much less useful even for trash, so it will take much more time than many other builds to kill scattered groups of monsters, making the playstyle very slow and lame. It definetly needs to be the same type of dmg as tornados.

    What about the worth of cold horads? Cold sorcs dont need them, bow amazons get more dmg output with fire, no other builds known to me use cold dmg as primary. Will they be replaced with phys horas aswell?

    I was also debating on maybe switching tornado to full on Cold as well, I couldn't decide. This may be a solution. However, you keep mentioning slow AoE clearing, but druid is already the second quickest single target killer in the game. It's okay to be weak at AoE, a class doesn't have to be super strong in both single target and AoE, especially if it is one of the best in the game at either one. I have no plans of ruining the class, but it cannot stay as it is.

    What about a bone nec against single target? Where would you put him in the rankings? In endgame gear it takes 2-3 shots to kill cruc cain from even a safer position than dru.
    A spear zon? It doesn't even require an endgame gear to overcome a perf druid in timing against most of the bosses. The time spent on killing is most noticeable especially for bosses that need to be grinded thousands of times to make valuable loot, as it was with Santa.
    Wolf druid at bosses with trash monsters, for example, rift diablo?
    Fire trapper is better against rift diablo/ctoggha aswell.

    Even looking at how much wind druids are online it doesnt seem like it is an ultimate build.

    Just as Alex said, wind druids are top 2 easily. I have a fully geared wind Druid at the moment, and I kill anything in the entire game in under 5 seconds. Hurricane is used to take out trash mobs, and tornado is used for bosses. Hurri is amazing at AoE for smaller monsters. Druid is ultimate build in the current state they are in. And they have already been nerfed twice.

    I got this idea, what will u say about the characters i've mentioned? What are their timings against the same stuff in the latest gear? Which character do you use to kill rift diablo? How much time it takes? How fast do you kill trash monsters with huricane in rift or even in PL?
