Just spectated a druid

[FEEP]

spent the entire game running between rooms in ratform and flying thru the rooms with chicken/panther. ran from every single player he couldn't trap in a dead end with a treant. lvl173 fame btw. extracted with 70g of loot nice one dude. Daily druid hate thread. 3 sec dreamwalk cd increase will surely do the trick.

Every druid I spectate just runs between rooms in rat form like a brainless animal, is this all you guys do?

I mostly find druids that use ratform to sneak up on you then suddenly turn into a panther or bear. I've yet to find one that was bothered by the lack of their treant whenever it got preoccupied by skeletons or such.

Maybe I'm newer to the game, but what else am I supposed to do? Druid weapons feel absolutely terrible when everyone else using weapons has a parry mechanic built in to reflect all my damage.

My only damage spells either take every charge to kill a skeleton as the dream burn spell doesnt kill basic enemies with all 4 uses or a thorn wall that any other player will simply walk through becuase it's very ineffective.

The ent is the only viable attack spell but even then it's very slow and unless you can ask the player or enemy to hold still, it simply won't attack. So you rely on the player being terrible for it to work.

I got healing, yay, my combat can suck for 20 seconds instead of 10 seconds becuase unless I'm using chicken to avoid combat at all costs, the rat gets instakilled by any aoe attack, the panther gets easily parried and the bear is big enough that it gets hit more often so the health buff doesn't matter and the heavy attack hits ceilings I didn't know was possible to hit.

My goal as Druid (f2p so it's all I can play) is to avoid any pvp combat I possibly can while completing quests like grab goblin ears or deliver cobalt bars. While also avoiding 50% of all pve because the wildshapes that make.the class unique either barely survive the floor, can't really attack or act as a bigger hitbox.

I'm halfway through all the quests in my current playtime and my stash is rather healthy, or as health as it can be without spending money (second stash of full wallets and a crap load of jems/charms/rings etc

I'm open to suggestions tho XD

Only suggestion I have for novice Druid play (I am one) is to use the chicken's free heal as much as you can. Eat them bugs!

Bear and Cat are kinda useless by default and require stats to actually do damage. You'll do more damage with your crappy weapons if in squire (or bad) gear.
