I can't comment on the Dream part as I am not an expert there.

But for Nature:

1. Add more to Permanence of Stone - the additional "free" elemental resistances will allow you more leeway in your gear while keeping your resists (and your pets) strong.

2. Refresh is not really useful since it was nerfed. Suggest you put your points elsewhere and invest in some -recharge gear instead, when you can.

3. Don't max the Nymph - go for wolves instead. With 16+2 points in Call of the Wild, you have 3 wolves, and when you reach legendary, they are super powerful, provided you also invest in Survival Instinct. And Strength of the Pack.

4. By and large, a few points in Sylvan Nymph will do. Boost her up with +skills gear.

5. You. Must. Invest. In. Plague. Ultimately, max the whole tree.

Thanks alot!

I don't want plague since I use psionic touch and distort reality. Maybe this will work better, running out of skill points....

you can get some points by cropping Distort Reality (to 1pt. only), Nightmare base skill (5 pts.) and maybe Hypnotic Gaze as well for the rest of the points needed for full Plague tree

btw caster or melee? this is my planned ritualist archer

Plague line is not an attck skill, it's a debuff to help your PT, physical and elemental attcks. You need it more since you don't use ToW.

I am not exactly an expert yet, but I also would advise Plague. It is extremelly useful for big dense groups of enemies. Perhaps not so much on Fatigue synergy, but Plague itself and Susceptibility I would max out.

I'd say Overgrowth is not really that good, so perhaps taking away a few points from there would be a good idea.

I am not sure how good Trance of Convalescence is but I prefer Trance of Empathy more.

Also Distortion wave is really good as it slows enemies down, but I think it is way more useful if you are a melee character than a caster.

Oh and yes, Permanence of Stone looks very useful as Elemental resistance is very important on legendary difficulty.

I would probably use something like this.

Psionic Burn sucks. Distort Reality sucks, the only thing it's good for is stunning, and it doesn't even help that much on legendary. If you notice that you don't need it, take out all but one point from Temporal Rift too. The Nightmare doesn't really get much better with points, it will always suck offensively, and always be nearly invincible (in legendary), so no need to put in so many points. Hypnotic Gaze isn't too useful either, for a melee fighter it would be annoying, for a ranged pet guy it's not, but still pointless. I didn't like the Nymph too much with my Druid, add more points if you feel like it. Reducing Psionic Touch to 1 will not hurt too much. It's an OK skill, but not really crucial to the build.

Also, Trance of Wrath is awesome for normal. You might want to consider playing petless melee through normal to take advantage of it. Don't put anything into Nature in the beginning, and when you got about 35 to 40 points total remove everything, max Dream mastery, and max Trance of Wrath as fast as you can. You can just walk around, and everything around you dies within seconds. It gets a little less useful in act 3 normal, just walking past wont kill some enemies. You might have to attack once in a while.

I noticed too that Psionic burn hardly did anything. And Psionic touch itself is not that great. It's a weaker version of Calculated Strike.
I didn't try Distort Reality yet though.
