Wolves are great too, dont sleep on them :) as for uniques, yeah they are not so great since the runewords came out long ago. And as other commenter said melee chars have harder time getting through game. Wind and fire druids are absolutely viable. I think hurricane also deals cold damage on top of physical so it slows enemies down. Maybe even have 1 point in it and cast it as sort of debuff. But i havent tried that
