Is druid better or beastmaster summons?

[bob]

Hi so i want to play as a druid moon subclass but i watched a video and the beastmaster summons are so strong is the beastmaster bear stronger then the druid shapeshift bear?

Because if its then i'll just go as a beastmaster it can summon multiple strong beasts better then druid who can shapeshift into one and not as strong

Druids get Conjuration spells at later levels that are better than either the Ranger's beast companion or the Druid's wildshape - but you can multiclass to combine some aspects of both if you want to.

For just summons, I would go with Druid.

The Ranger, however, has some very specific combos with certain beasts, like the Entomb ability of the spider, or the Raven with it's Bad Omen ability.

I see well i will try druid first i don't know how multiclass works but i know that it weakens the main class since you'll need to also invest in the subclass right? so your power wont be all focused on your main class

I would try pure Druid first - as a Summoner, it is one of the most powerful classes. You get Conjure Woodland Being at high level and can summon a Dryad which itself can summon a Wood Woad, plus you get Conjure Minor Elemental and Conjure Elemental. If you choose Moon Druid you also get to Wildshape into a powerful elemental at level 10. This combos really well with cold and lightning damage (especially lightning as you get the Call Lightning spell at lvl 5).
