Planning a build

Evolution lines

Each line takes the skill to its max level, holds the passive, and reaches the hero level; the next chest evolves it. A level marked with a passive is later than the evolved skill's own, because the passive opens later.

Staying alive

Cyclone Armor adds fire, cold and lightning resistance, Hunger heals wereform blows for 25% of their damage, and Lycanthropy adds life in wereform. His summons and spirits draw the pack off him.

Attributes

Energy raises his storms (Twister and Tornado take it too), Strength his wereform blows.
