So if it's no different now...I mean honestly the call charmies, insect victim, and spam sunray method is just as easy as the co bearform, rake, cure crit method.... > then again maybe Tiera is messed up, after all she killed a few battleragers more than once when she was younger and then later(a few ranks down the line) asked the same ragers to help her raid empire. > although I do commend her for playing a druid when not many people at all do. So kudos for playing a difficult class, but man try some other tactics please..they are fun, I promise. But only 3 high ranked druids around now : Celebeleny, Tiera and me. Guess who am I ? :-)
> Fire seed...nasty to certain attackers -
That is only supplication what can be communed inside. Pretty crappy.
makes injures usualy, enough said
no str loss - just increasing bleeding
to few places you could commune it, cool othervise.
-int/-wis, and so what ? can be communed only once on target
spores and thornheart have low success rate and target gets free shot on you.
earthquake is cool but it upsets your charmes most of the time even if they are flying.
and it happends not only inside but in most common places (ie eastern,cities).
tsunami ? never fought on the water or under - could not say anything.
It is druid's version of faerie fire.
Good against thieves and assassins. Again outside only.
you just have to prepare it. Plant weeds, briartangle them - it takes time.
> the hunt
heh help hunt please + it have been tonned down.
no recall is cool against mages/clerics but almost useless against others
You have to be Sylvan btw - it is not druid's power.
heh sometimes I prefer tank myself, mobs do not have a lot of hps.
never never NEVER spam.
*shrug* not any more. I wish druids have acute vision and birdform.
Well it is up to Tiera and ragers.
Oh btw ragers are SO jumpy about magic items. Had to kill couple myself.
That is so true. I love my druid. He can kill almost everybody beside air majors.
Only Humans, Half-Elves, Gnomes, Svirfnebli, Cloud Giants can be druids.
Do not go gnomes or h-elves, they are to vuln. Choose human or cloud.
Good luck.
