Usage Strategies

• The tornado generally follows enemies, but slowly. It is best to move the character around it as needed, keeping enemies in its area-of-effect while using other attacks.

• Alternatively, just cast it and forget it, letting it cause mayhem while the Druid uses other spells.

• The Tempest silver mod will allow two Tornados active at once, and at very high levels if the cooldown+regen can brought to under 10s then 3 may be active at once.

• If using Hurricane (which disarms enemies by default) then the gold mod Disarm may be redundant and therefore Critical would be a better choice.
