Please make the druid not suck

They showed off how everything the Druid does requires a combo of some sort to look good visually. But the gameplay they showed made the class look slow and weak regardless. Sorry OP.

watching the vod now and yeah it doesnt look good. very disappointing

Yes. Its disappointing but it seems the direction of the game AND its devs is to shape a one click auto win lightning builds. I pop in once in a while but sense the release, things have not improved at all past the first few updates.

I get it, some people enjoy not having to think and just clicking the same button. I just happen to find that boring and enjoy creativity and skill instead. Don't see why both can excel here but with the constant nurfs to creativity options, its clear the devs only want you to play in ONE way. I hate it when devs lie to sell an upcoming game.

A bit less pessimistic than some other:

- Wolf form seems akin to Monk gameplay. And the "combo" isn't that convoluted. I'm just worried at how the "hybrid" Melee Combat/Minion (Wolf) can be done.

- I'm a bit more skeptical about Bear & Wyvern. Bear is akin to Warrior gameplay: Slow & Slam. It's even too similar to my taste but we will see. At least it seems they said the Bear Form can somewhat passively generate Endurance Charge. Could be good for a Totem build.

- Wyvern seems to be a weird mix between range & melee attacks with a splash of Lightning & Fire synergy. "Devore" for Power Charge generation seems simple & fast enough to not make this too fastidious. The fire breath attack seems cool but I don't think it give immunity to damage (maybe damage reduction ?) but it does slow down your move speed greatly.

- A bunch of new spell to play with but we will need to see IG if they actually do decent damage.

- We didn't see much about the Ascendancy but Oracle seems quite... unique. But it could be another Chayula Level of Clunkiness.

Overall, it's a Jack of All Trade. Melee & Range Combat, Spell Caster with a pitch of Minion Gameplay. I hope they really added some Passive Skill point, Support Gems and Unique to support such hybrid gameplay because so far, it just doesn't work.

Gargantuan NO. You CANT always nerf it later, because the player base threatens the company when they do that. Overpowered characters are what ruin games. Imbalances and pure coding vomit make people quit. The second I see another class doing something OP or abusing a bug, if it's not nerfed within 48 hours, or the offenders of the bug abuse aren't suspended, I stop spending money because I know the game will always be treated like trash and cheating is catered to. If it's imbalanced, I will stop playing.

some of us have waited a whole year to play it so please dont make it some underpowered class that sucks to play. make it OP like huntress was in dawn of the hunt. you can always nerf it later. just let us enjoy it for one league at least

The melee builds will suck but the Wyvern will probably be ok. Ranged is ur only option, its poe 2.

But if the charge generation is clunky and they have to combo everything, wyvern is gonna suck aswell. Eating corpses between every other kill? Rly? LOL. Have fun im sticking to monk or deadeye.

its hard to tell. they purposely do bad showcases with low gems and 0 support gems and no gear etc. druid looked terrible in that showcase. not sure why they even do a showcase like that.

I am very optimistic about what they showed :)

Felt lik some D2 druid nostalgia mixed with modern ARPG. I look forward to whats possible!

I still want to make a summoner druid, and i want to know. Can we Flickerstrink in bear forms ? ^^
