Usage Strategies

• Hurricane is damage aura that follows the Druid as he moves. The best usage is to keep it active as often as possible to damage, slow, and disarm as many enemies as possible.
• The debuff to enemy movement stacks with each hit, but with diminishing returns, so it will never reduce speed to "0".
• The disarming property of Hurricane removes weapons from enemy hands, so they fight barehanded. This is useful because many enemies have skills that boost their proficiency with their weapons, so when they are disarmed they lose the benefits of those skills. This not only lowers their damage but also their attack speed and chance to hit.
• Windswept gold mod + Combat Art Range +X% on items can make Hurricane cover the entire screen, hitting massive amounts of enemies.
• By taking the Bluster gold mod and getting the regeneration time down to 3.0 seconds or lower, the Druid can keep up Hurricane constantly.
