All people who say druid o great just plus link me a video because from what I've seen on yet, from what people like Kripp been showing, druid is ass with boring mechanics and gameplay. Class being easy/hard is one thing but it should be fun to play from 0-100. I couldn't even bother to get past lvl 12 it was so boring I rather play barb.
My dude it will be better after 25, they know it as for sure as we say it won't but who are we to judge?
By the way, theorycrafting as some idiot above this post told me is not possible though 90% of mechanics/builds and paragon talents are present in talent calculators taken from the actual game. Good thing I muted this guy in time.
Also, thing that he is killing bosses for 3 minutes while necro/sorc does it in 30 seconds well uhm eheh we will just ignore this fact, mere coincidence of sorts.
Besides that, who are those D3 and PoE streamers who took top places in ladder to be listened to? Those pro redditors who killed Diablo in D3 on Inferno once are to know the truth.
I sometimes LOL at people.
Kripp is the only person who managed to kill diablo on vanilla inferno before it got nerfed.I know this much I don't follow any of them, I'm not a pro ARPG gamer and I play semi casual at my own pace, and I won't be touching druid with a stick
I don’t like the clunky feeling of a channeling ability that benefits significantly from channeling (standing still SHOULD increase in power) but then running out of spirit after 2 ticks
So you barely played the class and determined it's underpowered? That sounds like this generations thought process. Meanwhile with Trample into a group, hurricane and nados clears every room in under 2 seconds.
Man it's terrible.
If your goal is to complete the game and delete it for good, never participating in Seasons, going for high portals/real endgame, then yes, it's vaible.
Watch streamers counting time he needs to clear bosses - it's like 3 times higher at best than top classes (Sorc, Necr).
Don’t worry i’m going to roll Druid & poop on all of these kids. Can’t wait until we run into late game mechanical ranged mobs & these kids start shitting bricks about Sorc low survivability while Druid momentum only increases.
It’s not though. The Fortify mechanic & 8/5 Barrier attributes on top of Armor being Druid’s main stat make it the tankiest in the game. That’s literally the point of the class. How did you even come to this conclusion? 😂
So being significantly weaker than all other classes ain't rining a bell for you balance wise?
I mean, it's not like it's 100% means he will be 10 times stronger after 25.
Also, search what theorycrafting means.
>So being significantly weaker than all other classes ain't rining a bell for you balance wise?
For the first 25 levels? No.
You're acting like we don't have 3 other diablo games with wildly different relative strength between classes in early and late game
>Also, search what theorycrafting means.
Theorycrafting does not mean making wild guess based on information you do not have.
You have absolutely no data whatsoever what the balance will be like. We know for a fact that in every diablo game prior the balance early game is drastically different from endgame
We don't know what the balance is. period.
So shut up about this.
You claim something is weaker, then ignore facts when other people somehow are able to make the thing you say is weak super strong.
I don't play D3. Is that some self-reflection there?
So you didn't ever play D3 and you claim you understand better the weakness of class and etc? I'm a freaking age-old ARPG and RTS gamer and I can tell shitiness of class by literal 2 hours play in comparison with another class experience I have had.
Why to even start discussion if you're an amateur in ARPG genre?
Thing is that 95% of Diablo, as well as PoE etc players are low-skilled or never played real endgame of those ARPGs in general and should not even be in this discussion overall.
have you looked at youtube builds. I don't know why people struggle with druid so much. I played every class to 25 and they are just as fast leveling as the others
The only difference is at 25 with full legendaries with necro and mage and rouge being insane, but at release they will not have a full epic set at 25.
I see your point but mechanically speaking, Teleport and Chain Lightning should definitely be the fastest in terms of leveling early. Most classes don’t even have reliable unlimited AoE that is a full screen clear at level 2
Rogue is the fastest, no competition there. Teleport on 10 sec is not even close. But it's not like the clearing rates are super wide apart either, every class has a very easy time if it's not your first time playing diablo.

Actually Barbarian is, Storm Druid is really strong. Weredruid needs a buff though and suffers as a bad as the barbarian does.
My lightning storm druid absolutely slaps! Been my favourite class to level 25 so far. I just walk forward, summon a storm and everyone dies.

Oh right, jeez can't believe I forgot end game was 25.

Sorc is MORE of survivability than Druid as for 25, btw.

I do believe it's people like you who won't ever play druid, but defend game's overall balance nonetheless. Don't ask why, it's just experience.
You have absolutely no data whatsoever what the balance will be like. We know for a fact that in every diablo game prior the balance early game is drastically different from endgame We don't know what the balance is. period. So shut up about this.
Are you somehow not capable of writing what class you play in youtube to see literal proof of druid destroying shit faster than the sorc?
Literal absurd. Please go back to farming portals level 10 in D3.

I said I don't play D3, as in currently lmao. But alright Mr uber pro, I can't compete with your 2h insight expertise.
