Post by Jotun »

anyone have experiences or seen somewhere on the web someone with experiences on werewolf or werebear druid, and how it turns out? I take it this is for those who want to be a fighter version as its all melee attacks.

yep.... the druid is very versatile just because he can be both a tank and a rocket :D but putting points in both the "melee" tree and the "magic" tree seems like a waste in skill points..... the thing with a weare-druide is that he is strong in Normal but stops being very strong in later difficulties, while the elementalist is weak in the beginning and strong in the end....

If you hacked a necro they would be powerful. :rolleyes:

The werebear works out fine, I haven't played it to the end, but I suggest still puting points into the other were and a few on a low level elemental skill. The summons are very useful, I hear that the ravens at a high level are good as they can't be killed.

Hello Jotun! The Werebear or Werewolf druid is a strong and viable class, and you can play it with or without summoning. I haven't played a druid to very high level, but I found it more fun to play with summoning since it's too similar to just any combat character if you play the druid without. You can also play an Elemental druid, that is IMO more fun more difficult and awfully slow, especielly in early gameplay.

A minionless druid must focus all his skills on the shape shifting tree, and eventuelly max out lycantropy and maul. Some points in Shockwave is crucial, and he will benefit from using a vine too, maybe Oak sage. Werewolf or werebear doesn't matter, they are both very strong.
A shapeshiftning druid with minions, needs to focus either on the Grizzly bear or the Wolves, most people max out one and put only 1-5 points in the other.
Whereas the pure Elemental druid it slow and difficult to play, the combined Summoner/Elemental druid is a much more viable class, so that's another option if you haven't already tried it.

Good luck with your druid! :)
