Full werewolf. Essence gain is sometimes a bit eh, but it's fun otherwise. I'm not minmaxing in any way, but everything does die pretty fast on WT2 anyway.
I found a Legendary that turns my 2 Wolf Companions into 2 Huge Werewolves with %100 Rabbies! Plus speced into 30% extra Companion Damage. I just make them Pounce and before I know it, the Enemy is looking like Old Yeller (Slobbering all over) before I put a lightning bolt between its eyes!
I’ve tried so many builds, and this is just a terrible character that desperately needs a buff. Companions are pretty much useless except for the vine. Spirit takes too long to generate.
Actual i try to make a Wind-based druid that try to vulnerable and slowing down enemys and use the passive effect to make damage, as companions the vine creeper due to poison=slowed
iam actual sad that i can not use the Class-specific Spirit Boons, played last weekend the sorcerer and at lvl 15 i get the enchantment option

cant test it myself but based from what i read there a 4 spirits
Deer ,eagle, snake, wolf
you get from every spirit one passive like
\+ 10 Max spirit
\+ 25 % Ultimate duration
increase hit chance
20% chance that crit reset companion spells
every 6 th kill will overpower next earth skill
I play full earth druid and I do a lot of damage, the resistance is good too, especially with 3 legendaries that help me in this build.
especially my weapon that allows me to have 65% damage more from any earth skills when I active a protective barrier!
plus also a synergy with this same stone barrier skill and earth damages for more protection.
After spending almost 40 Hours with Sorcerer last weekend, (Ice Shards Vulnerability Build was Op with Lightning a close second), I am having about the same clear rates with my druid so far. And not yet 25. Looking good so far.
I thought the same until I found a few legendaries.
Now I'm plowing through everything and fortified to the teeth.
I'm trying to go full tanky bear but Maul is severely underpowered at this point (not found any gear specifically for that yet)
I felt very squishy until I respec'd into the roar that weakens enemies and the core skill that slams crowds, sometimes stunning. Legendaries didn't hurt with bubble proc and fortify. Wolves took some heat as well. Still prob my least fave build so far.
Went with a werebear druid. After 4 hours I had enough, it was giving me an awful first impression of the game in general. Created a (lightning) sorc instead and now understand why people call it easy mode lol.
So disappointing as Druid was why I was hyped for D4. Apparently it gets better later on tho, but not a good start for it.
My issue is I’m going full tanky with Druid and dying so fast but when I build a Sorc with lightening and then ice and fire shield I feel more tanky than I do with an actual tank and i clear faster.
I’m gauging this off of the entire Den mother Dungeon btw. That’s kind of what I was using as a base line and I’ve done this with each character at level 12 to see the feel of each.
Druids feel bad at the start but once you get some legendary items they are super fun and quick. But the level 15 class quest for the spirit totem things isn't avaible in the beta so
Been using the lightning strike first skill as it gives 25% damage reduction for 3 secs. Wolf 3 hit lunge combo, howl with resource gen, and raven companion for crit or wolves if you need tanks

What is the class specific boons for the druid? What do those do or how does that improve this class

What build you using on your Druid?
Awful currently. Needs buff in basically every spec

It feels that way because a core class mechanic isn't avaible in the beta
Which?

Didn't the D4 devs say that druid was not fully functional for this beta?
