So playing my first druid and trying not to read max roll builds to much as I enjoy figuring it out myself. Well I'm making a lighting storm /wolf companion build and put +lightning bolt damage on several items, because my dumb ass thinks lightning storm summons lightning bolts, come to find out while it's lightning dmg it doesn't count as lighting bolts, um ok whatever. So I'm trying to rerolled my LBD tempers to into storm dmd but out of like 15 reroll attempts I only get one mid SD everything else is either min chance to crit or high LBD. So ya F me I guess ill just go to bed, at least my wolves are hitting for like 200k to 300k.

I just wanna know your thoughts and honesty which are the better ones out there, my dps as my pulverize druid sucks like I can't clear out 80 like my bouldercane build, but my big number procs slay, I've actually seen a billion proc where the average dps of my pulverize build is like a couple mil tops, average proc of overpower hits between 200-500mil

The lvling for the Druid is slow can anyone help!?

I have been enjoying the new ravens aspect adding lightning damage and a good solid stun. The damage boost sounds like an impressive number at first, but the baseline damage even after full investment isn’t going to be able to scale much even in a full companions build. I admittedly prefer fun off meta builds more than S+ builds (I am a Druid after all, even in the season of spirit born), and so I’m thinking of what ways would be cool for them to buff ravens and allow us to spec into full bird-man/bird-lady in future seasons. They could at a minimum start by giving the ravens a Storm tag with the new aspect if nothing else.

Below are a few ideas that sound fun to me. Anyone else have fun ideas to make ravens cooler and or genuinely powerful?

I would love to see an aspect that would cause free tornados to spring up in a line between you and the center of the raven swarm (kind of like how creeper vines has the Subterranean aspect to cause landslides). This aspect should also apply a significant multiplicative boost (45% x - 90% x) to tornado damage when they are cast while ravens are actively swarming. Ravens would gain Storm tag also and be able to scale with those multipliers.

A different idea I like would be to add a utility aspect where active casts of cyclone armor would cause (4-8) ravens to zoom out radially from the center knocking down enemies in their path and reducing the cooldown of cyclone armor and ravens by (0.5-1.5) seconds per enemy hit

Anything you’re going to try on the PTR next week?

Personally I enjoy the fast attack speed builds and I want werewolf to be a thing. So I may try dire wolf + rabid bear + agile wolf shred poison build.

May try a wolfnado + nature’s fury build (I have that in current live and it’s fun, but I’m just starting it).

Also thinking of doing trample slide + infinite petrify to get cooldowns for trample reduced to 0.

Also gotta try lacerate changes, what will you be trying out?

Every 6th attack overpower? nice!

Anyone has a link for the best end game build ?

So the 2 Druids who actually use the aspect, will no longer be able to have it on their boots/pants. And it now competes with the 353464546 other offensive aspects for Druid's two offensive aspect slots.

Anyone else notice this item is bugged and can't be traded? Tried to sell a couple of got from boss runs and they were both account bound...

Edit stone of vehemin

With Boulder dmg change to Poison next season, Bear Druid can use Aspect of Rabid Bear in 2-handed weapon x240% poison damage boost and apply Rabies(Rabies had huge dmg buff in season 6) and multicative by of rabid bear too). Vasily for use Boulder when active Grizzly Rage(GR)

Snake – Obsidian Slam Previous: Every 10th kill will cause your next Earth Skill to Overpower. Now: Every 6th attack cast will cause your next Earth Skill to Overpower. We only need 7 attacks in 5s to infinity Grizzly Rage when vs bosses(ez reach with starless skies, att spd in hands and other ring) Retaliation aspect in amulet for x113 dmg boost, metarmophic stone in hand, changeling debt for other ring. This build feel good next season

After some sorcs and a rogue, it's time for druid. I loved Stagstom last season, but unsure about what build to do now. Stagstom was so nice with the combination of single target and aoe damage. I do more hordes than pit pushing, so I want a build according to that.

I see that landslide is S-tier, but how is aoe this season? Boulder looks nice. Any other nice builds that can do hordes and pit 90-95?

And what about Zir and the unique boots? I spent 150 blood in 2-mam rota yesterday and got 4 2GA yen's blessing but no beastfall boots, so frustrated

Just recapping these because I feel they shouldn't be overlooked. Just from these alone, I can expect huge jumps in Pit clears.

Deer – Prickleskin

• Previous: Gain 480 Thorns.
• Now: Deal 5% increased damage to enemies for 5 seconds after they attack you.

Deer – Gift of the Stag

• Previous: Gain 40 Maximum Spirit.
• Now: Gain 40 Maximum Spirit. You gain 5 Spirit every second.

Eagle – Scythe Talon

• Previous: Gain 15%[+] increased Critical Strike Chance.
• Now: Gain 15%[+] increased Critical Strike Chance and 15%[X] increased Lucky Hit Chance.

Wolf – Energize

• Previous: Lucky Hit: Dealing damage has a 15% chance to restore 30 Spirit.
• Now: Lucky Hit: Dealing damage has a 15% chance to fully restore your Spirit.

Snake – Obsidian Slam

• Previous: Every 10th kill will cause your next Earth Skill to Overpower.
• Now: Every 6th attack cast will cause your next Earth Skill to Overpower.

Snake – Overload

• Previous: Lucky Hit: Dealing Lightning damage has up to a 40% chance to cause the target to emit a static discharge, dealing 120% Lightning damage to surrounding enemies.
• Now: Dealing Storm damage also applies an additional 20% Poisoning damage over 5 seconds. Lucky Hit: Dealing Poison damage has up to a 1% chance to summon a Lightning Bolt on the target dealing 120% damage.

With the change to Lupine Ferocity, the new amulet, and all the new ultimate aspects a 5/5 Lacerate build could be a monster. I’ll be definitely testing it out on the PTR.

Heightened Senses getting hit hard by the nerf bat. I think it was appropriate but, they need to add 1% to the base values to compensate.

Looks like I was correct! With this change and the new amulet plus Mad Wolf’s Glee we could be seeing close to 300% [x] critical strike damage for our werewolf skills!

I’ll definitely be test Shred and Poison Shred on the PTR!

Triple Crit the shako for my sorc, but no longer needed there. Can this fit into any Druid build?

As the title says, I'm doing a lightning storm/cataclysm/storms companions wolves build, but with the amount of unique items I have, combined with an aspect or 2 for my wolves, I kind of need to cut one of my lightning aspects out of the build. So I'm wondering about the Conduit, runeworkers, lightning dancer, etc...

Which are the must have lightning druid aspects and which ones might be worth dropping? Thanks in advance all <3

I was following Maxroll’s Ursine Boulder Druid Build, but I wanted to see what the community would say about what they thought was the best Boulder build, please leave build links in the comments if you have any! Thank you so very much for your time!

Returning to Druid pulverize build… played this in season 0 but haven’t touched Druid since then. How is the damage looking right now? Do we need to Shapeshift a lot to get decent damage? Also I remember back in season 0 I have serious energy issue and I cannot constantly spam pulverize…..

A lot of the meta builds like boulder, hurricane, cata, etc. feel super clunky to play.

From your own experience/opinion, what druid build has smooth gameplay that actually feels fun?

Also don't mind if it's not super meta since I'm a casual player and don't plan to push pits too far. Thanks!

currently im lvl 13 my current skilla are claw,shred,blood howl and wolves

After having played spirit born i think the druids spirit boons should get some love.

All they need is if you choose this spirit all skills gain x tag.

Wolf = werewolf Eagle = lightning Snake = earth Elk = werebear

Boom. You also open our helm slot. It's brutal that we have so many build defi ing options put tto that one slot.

This is probably close to its maximum potential. I'm going to try a 99 at least soon and possibly a 100 there after...

Is the GA to Quickshift the gamechanger here or is the other amulet better. Running companion Wolves build.
