Druid Constantly in harmony with nature, the Druid is an offshoot of the Barbarian peoples of Harrogath. While Heaven and Hell battle with magic, the Druid can wield the forces of Sanctuary's living creatures and the elements themselves.

Which is the best a summoner, a shape shifter or a ele druid, i have a hard time deciding which is better, i have made an ele druid but he seemed to suck, even with magefist, enigma, hoto, and jalals...What should i be wearing and why? what does it do and what can it do for me...or if you want to answer that for which type is best go for it i just need an opinion so i can start building another druid..

summoner druids are better than shapeshifters, believe it or not lol

at a high lvl, the bear does huge dmg and has a shitload of life. most chars with average life (casters) die in 1-2 hits from the bear. the build although is very BM, as the strategy is to stay in town and just summon bears, letting them nk ppl after killing them. the good things of this build is that u will never die during pvp, only ur bear will :)

Elemental druids are good all-arounders, I suggest you remake one.

Search the forums here. There is a good Wind ele druid guide that really helps. Since it's for 1.10 there are minor changes need to be done but nothing dramatic. I refer a lot to this site when I'm about to create a new char.

BTW I think Wind Druids are one of the best characters

well you for sure are not going to go vine as your main thing...bears are great, but they kind of suck pvm because there is only one of them and they can get overwhelmed easily by large groups. but bears are still way better than wolves, i dont think wolves can do much damage(somebody correct me if i am wrong). either way, you are going to want to max oak. and i'd go with a carrion vine, just one point in it, to help keep your life full when you are doing pvm.

yes, bears are best. u dont really need vines, u need a few in oak sage, u gotta max bear + wolves since they are synergies. the bear can do a shitload of dmg at a high lvl, and if u use enigma u can tele him away if he gets overwhelmed. but its a little harder to pvm with a bear, cuz bosses kill summons exrtemely fast.
wind druids are good too, but can be a bit costly

A ele PvP ele druid will do fine PvM. so just find you a good PvP guide and follow it, and it should be awesome in PvM also. Just as long as you have max resistances...

Well, ele druid is good but if you have a shako + maras + ss and some other stuff, trade the ss and some other stuff for a hoz and make a hammerdin.
