druids animal shapes are like commiting suicide and need a rework

[Rail]

title, druid in the current state is super bad. The best way to play is never to shape into an animal ever. Rat is sometimes useful to get away in PVP situations but thats it. The 2 Main battle forms do nothing, they can not dodge and will trade until they die, usually after 1 fight with a regular goblin. Not even talking about their abysmal damage or their range. Problem is we can not even decide to not equip the animal shapes feature, there is no alternative, no more casting nor other features like any other class basically have. Pretty sad to look at the current state. This is not some complain, rather an invitation to the devs to take a second look in the near future.

druid can almost fully heal the entire party in seconds, druid turns into bear with heavy damage and knockback attacks, druid turns into fast puma which can dodge attacks easily, druid turns into chicken to heal itself. Yea man druid sucks really bad.

Not to mention how hard it is to hit a fleeing rat druid.

the most insane schizo post ive seen in a while. druid is way over tuned in current state.

Panther is stupid slow, as is bear.
It makes zero sense for a chicken to be faster than either.

Wait you are transforming to fight against a goblin? lmaoooo
Druids can just run away and block the enemy with 30 trees and then transform into a bear and stunlock the entire team into the wall
They are impossible to fight against if anything
Buffs my ass

Clearly you have never tried to catch a chicken.

You can jump through closed doors that have holes in them as a rat by jumping and then timing your transformation. That alone makes me not wanna play any other class until he inevitably gets tweaked lol

I have to disagree even after the nerf animal forms are going to be good, also druid is support/healer should not be front lining with animals generally unless you are built for it. Also its WAY to early to be trying to dictate what the class needs as its only been officially out for 2 days...The game is not made specifically for what you think is right or wrong. Let the devs cook.

This just reads like you saw a minor nerf and then just started yelling about it aside from thinking about it logically and rationally. Or you just wanted it to be unbalanced and abuse said balance issue for your gain.

Yeah, I love my druid but the only animal form I ever use is rat. Panther is terrible and dies immediately and bear forms attacks say they knockback but only knockback, like, 20% of the time. Also in both forms your head is GIANT and basically every attack that hits you is a headshot. Not to mention their attacks do TERRIBLE damage. Spear or mace and orb is how I play and I love it. I just wish I had other options for my two activated abilities so I could unslot wildshape for something else.

Geared cat/bear can literally 1/2 shot other classes equally geared, plus rat/chicken mobility is insane.
