Description

Lycanthropy is a simple skill, it increases duration and life of shapeshifted forms for the druid. The skill is passive, in fact it's the only passive skill the Druid has, yet it is vital. Increased life is always good to have in Diablo, and any Druid focusing on the Shapeshifting tree should max this skill, or at the very least invest many points into it. At early levels, the bonuses offered by Werewolf or Werebear might be more beneficial compared to higher life, but a few points should quickly be put into this skill to improve the duration from the measly base 40 seconds.
