Windy Druid & FCR

[Hefeweizen]

Ok, I'm a bit new to D2, having just recently started on Bnet after doing single player off and on over the years.

My first character was a fire / summon druid and I can completely understand that a really high FCR is required for that build since the cast timers are ridiculously long. Not having decent gear, I ended up turning him into a gem / rune holder and building a windy druid (which I'm loving at lvl 83 so far).

What I dont understand is FCR for windy druids. I can recast hurricane and spam tornadoes almost as fast as I can click. Why would I need FCR mods? Is there something I'm missing?

Tele mainly. If this is for PvM then FCR isn't as important.

spam tornadoes almost as fast as I can click.

You don't click to spam tornados. You hold the button down. Thus, the more fcr, the more tornadoes you can cast during a given time.

With more FCR the delay between every tornado gets smaller, which leads to more tornadoes spammed over time, which leads to you being a more efficient killing machine.

I will do diddly squad for Hurricane, since it's a timered spell, but for non timered spells like Tornado, at least a small ammount of FCR is really a must.

Also, you can't spam faster by clicking faster. Only FCR will get you over the next limit.

use the "stand still" button (wich is alt by default ... if i remember corectly) and hold the click pressed. You will spawn tornadoes at the max speed your FCR allows

Stand still button, shift; tomātoes, tomătoes.

Using the shift you can even aim tornadoes to the side and at your target, kind of in a sweeping motion back and forth so that even if they do move erratically, they still have chance to hit as your blanketing an area as opposed to creating a single line of tornadoes.
