Hurricane Swarm

Druid · derived spell group · difficulty Needs testing · strength Needs testing

Hurricane Swarm is a derived Druid package on the Azeroth Survivors build guide. The core cards are real extracted spells: Hurricane, Insect Swarm, Moonfire, Thorns. We did not invent their damage or cooldowns. We also did not run this list to a 15:00 clear, so difficulty and strength stay Needs testing.

Hurricane is the Druid ground AOE. Insect Swarm is a multi-target DoT; Thorns is the extracted defensive. That sentence is a count from the class file, not a review.

Druid starts with Wrath and unlocks Dash at level 5. Drafting still offers three cards per level — you will not see all four cores at once. Off-class spells do not appear; passives do. Read the full kit on the Druid class page.

How to use this build

  1. On the menu, pick Druid and any race the race table lists (table itself: Needs testing).
  2. Start in a low menu-order zone such as Elwynn Forest unless you already know the map. Best zone for this build: Needs testing.
  3. Prefer the core names when the three-card draft shows them. If the draft is all passives, the talent page lists what each stat does — key talent picks: Needs testing.
