What Makes Storm Claw Special?

The Storm Claw Druid stands out because it fuses two seemingly basic skills into Diablo 4 Items a devastating DPS engine:

Claw (Werewolf basic skill) → Fast melee Spirit generator.
Storm Strike (Lightning skill) → Deals AoE damage and reduces enemy damage.

The magic happens with the Greatstaff of the Crone, a Unique staff that turns Claw into a Storm Skill and causes every Claw hit to automatically cast Storm Strike. This means one button press gives you two powerful skills simultaneously-a melee strike and a chain lightning shock.

When combined with Tempest Roar, which turns Storm Skills into Werewolf Skills, and other synergistic Aspects and Mythics, the Storm Claw Druid effectively stacks Werewolf bonuses, Lightning bonuses, Critical Strikes, and Poison synergies all at once.

The result: insane attack speed, constant AoE bursts, and near-immortal sustain.
