If you picked the right spells at the right lvls this could be amazing, especially now that you can respec. IE on potd upscaled id probably take charm and maybe even hold beasts and respec out of it later on a druid. I wonder how lifegiver shifted heals work, like if you bear shift as a nature godlike you get +6 PL on healing spells, if you cast em all then bear form drops I wonder if the Heals on you currently stay supercharged.

Do you recommend buying a Dhow and roaming the seas and plundering early game to make money/ levels? If so any tips on ship combat? I always seem to muck it up unless I outgun the enemy ship (or have a stronger hull)

Super curious about how that poster built an Evoker/Devoted though, around what weapon, frontline or backline etc? what nukes and buffs.

I know what turning wheel is, but eternal flame?

Thought so, RPG Division made a Tempest Build that took Monastic so I wasn't sure, usually his builds are decent (better than NerdCommando at least).

Wondering if going for monastic combat feat an a tempest (Druid/Barb) will help his dmg.

Min's Fortune wasn't a bad placeholder midgame to go with the talking Annoying Blade; https://pillarsofeternity2.wiki.fextralife.com/Min's+Fortune I still think that early neck with the DR when low is good for this build, the one from G street well.

The Red Hand sounds cool, not acquirable?

Oh ok just didn't know what you meant. PS asked you a Q about Fury druids in your tier list.

Fury druid get their auto scaling finally? If not why did you place it so high?

Circle spells?

I had the idea that ranger/no subclass wizard would be strong though didn't flesh it out, just knew itd have insane accuracy and concussive tranq to interrupt casters and remove all 30sec or less buffs for a quick snipe. Plus haste spells, evasive roll and the teleport/swap spell would be neat. But every time I make a ranger I hate the mid game. Wounding shot is just so crappy and I dont like to rely on the poorly scaling pets.

I'd like to hear more about this build, spell choices, stats, and devoted weapon.

I didn't play beta so I know it was even worse back then but didn't experience it. Every time I want to play a caster (that isnt Wizard) I stop cause of this. Are there items or multiclassing feats that significantly help? Really wanted an anamist, Sorcerer (Druid/Wiz) or theurge (druid/Chanter) or even Liberator (Pali/druid) to work but the synergy doesnt seem to be there.

Someone actually plays Sorcerer? Sounds like a ... weird build. I wanted to but in the end couldn't handle druids cause of all the slow ass casting.

Awe, ok ty so I wont skip on FrostSeeker early game then. Ty.

1 Liberator (Anamist Druid/Bleak Walker Pali) Take Fire and Corrosive spells, Max Alchemy (for now) as it boosts a few of these spells. Very flexible in build but some nice synergy with fire and corrosion spells and FoD. Personally id go 2hand specialize and pick whispers of .... and Frostseeker. Occasionally debuffing and corroding with druid spells. (I will check and see if WotEP's aoe cone makes both Taste of the hunt and FoD aoe). 2 Gemoancer Ranger (ghost heart)/Wizard (no sub) as a mobile (haste spells, evasive power, translocate spell, bounding boots) nuker who can also drop enemies buffs and interrupt casters(tranq shot or whatever its called) from a far. Pick a 12m ranged weapon, mostly self buffs from wizzie for good defense.Again lots of details to hash out but could be really fun, dont take a lot of nukes, just enough for when your bow is resisted, probably missles spells. Lots of buffs that instacast (gosh i hate these 3+ sec casts). Lots to hash out but with ghost pet id probably only take takedown combo for some funny assassinating.

Death Godlike and that dmg resist when bloodied necklace you get earlier add a lot of flavour to a zerker / street fighter. Was one of my fav melee builds.

Yeah had to force beta updates and restart. Even then they mislabeled the patch for a few hours which had me confused cause I noticed the bug before it patched, then the patch update didn't display correctly so I didn't test it again. Glad I only experienced that bug for a moment. Was kinda brutal.

I guess you have a teleport command and a fav place to go kill? I wager setting lvls and gold and giving items isnt too hard to figure out.

Would that be dumb? I think it would ad a layer to those combos but idk what the modifier would be. Randomly pictured my water adding psi energy to spells and drooled a bit.

Maybe, might have missed it. But I thought that patch was live. Will check notes and if my patch isnt on for some reason.

Cool ty, I suspect insect swarm doesn't scale, doesn't have the antidote counter tag. How do you feel about top lvl druid spells, im so in the dark about druids, love them thematically but I see ONE druid build in the forums and almost no one coming up with synergistic multi-classes.

After a shift if youre using second weapon set you end up weaponless/shield less. Its kinda horrible. As a druid (versatile by nature, haha, punny) you want to have a 1 weapon set for accuracy (no offhand), shield and weapon for when you're taking a beating, and you shouldn't expect that going anthro-style makes you toss your second weaponset aside and clear it when the shift is over. So weird.
