In this guide, we're going to be breaking down three new budget character builds that we think would make for excellent choices to play at the start of a D2R ladder to progress and just obtain wealth.

Budget Build 1 - Fire Druid

Elemental skill - almost all of your points into the elemental skill tree

• Fissure

• Volcano

• Armageddon

• Molten Boulder

• Firestorm

You are only level 81 so as you get more skill points, you can continue to synergize armageddon with molten boulder and firestorm, but you have about 1500 fire damage from fisher,362 fizz damage, and 700 firearms from the volcano, and then you have 2750 fire damage and then about 1500 fizz damage from armageddon with 500 fire damage per second, so it actually ends up being quite a bit of cumulative fire damage as you continue to get more levels you could put a point into summoning grizzly, you have one point at oak's age but it doesn't really have too good of survivability.
