If I stay with a Wind druid I will be one skill point extra. If I change to Fire or Summon, I will be one skill point behind. You're right about Fire. I can still do that path and the low level spells are good enough to get to the high ones.
I actually can continue with a Wind druid and do good. Twister is weak and while casting it I can't freeze anything to attack melee. That's why the battles seem harder. If I hold out for Tornado, that's when you get powerful casting for low mana.
Summon is fine for normal difficulty but after that it's suppose to be a problem. It's one of those, you got help now but how much help will they be later on for you.
I'm going to play it out and see what happens. I just don't want to have to do it twenty times to figure it out. I'm liking the game more now than I did before, so that's a good thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />
Edit:
I'm going to go with those passive spells you metioned.
Since I am a freeze junky, I want some summons now. I will ride Dire wolf out until level 27 and hope that my Oak sage gives us all enough health. Then for three levels I won't spend any skill points.
At level 30 I will get Grizzly, Armaggedon and Hurricane. I'm guessing I won't be able to use these final spells until act 5.
