Fighting feral druids?

[Sven]

There is 4 druids that heal each other and they all do lighting strike which it wipes my party out instantly. What's a good defense against their magic?

[Skeena]

I have not fought these guys(yet) but the lightning storm is a stationary aoe, so just run back a ways and you should be able to be safe. My druid is level 5(or 6?) and I can only cast this spell once or twice.

There are four of them and the lightning follows you. The aoe is so wide and they usally cast it at the same time. So my heals aren't fast enough.

Can you run away when they cast? The aoe surrounds them(you cant target an area).

If you have a wizard with the Slick spell cast it to knock the whole group down and prevent them from casting.

[Skeena]

also if the lightning is still following you, you did not run far away enough.

Ok ill try that.

I'm tired of being party-wiped. I wish the game would give you some idea how difficult enemies were BEFORE you have to kill them X times to add them to the 'pedia. I don't know what sort of level these guys are but I can barely kill ONE of them before their stupid lightning spam takes out everyone.

why don't you just come back later?

[GalGof]

wait till u meet Sserkal - those guy's just stun or control (while stunned) you for a minute before u can end your first cast for most of times :D

* i managed to kill them eventualy, just to mark that druids are easy part..

** and yes, wizard's sleeping spell (aoe) is imba with all others but sserkal. sleep cast - slit throats while they asleep

They were hard when I reached them, and I found(not saying there isn't) nothing effective. You can run off, and get just 2 to follow you - they're not so bad then.

[General Malaise]

I didn't try it, but not sure how hard they'd be to interupt. Could have 3 ranged characters attacking one each.

[Wasted_46]

I just brute forced through them at LVL6 I think. No cheesy tactics just dual wizards with dual burning hands and Durance casting literally every healing spell.

[Aatos]

You will never encouter them an a group of four again (path of the dammend maybe) - if i recall correctly there is only a group of 2 in a main story dungeon. Which i just killed without really noticing them. I had to try the first group about 7 or 8 times - there is nothing special to them, no named NPC or so...i dont get why they are so strong

['Ole Crump]

yeah, interrupts are going to be your friend here, so eder's knockdown, aloth's slicken spell, there's a lvl 3 priest spell with knockdown. keep them on their asses and they can't cast.

I find having ranged dps like arquebus and arbalest really helps a lot in the first few seconds of combat. These weapons pack a punch, you get a shot of immediatly, and I usually kill a caster instantly before switching to melee\spells if needed.
