Kao (With Talents)

Diablo II Druid

Multiclass: Warrior/Assassin

The druid fights for and with nature itself, drawing power from the plants, animals and elements of the world. He can unleash deadly firestorms, summon an army of beasts and flora, and transform into a hulking beast to rip his foes apart with razor-sharp fangs and claws. Kao was one of the adventures who fought Diablo and his demons during Diablo II.

Depending on Talent-choices, Kao can be a ranged ability-driven Assassin, a durable Warrior that attacks multiple nearby enemies, or a Basic Attack-driven Assassin that fights alongside several Summons.

Note: I haven't actually played Diablo II myself, so everything here came through research at the Diablo wiki.
