We’ve turned into a Hive, things are getting serious.

Yes, I said that the druid is weak. Dude, I have several thousand hours in Diablo 2. The werewolf is a weaker version of the barbarian/paladin, and the elementalist is a weaker version of the sorceress. But it's still fun to play as an elementalist; he hits in an area and does a decent amount of damage. You need to max out Fissure and its synergies, and for the rest, use Tornado with its synergies. The damage seems small, and the spells themselves seem awkward, but the point is that a monster can walk through Fissure several times and take damage each time. And among melee characters, nothing is better than the barbarian and the assassin.
