Druid Build, Caster speed/recovery Vs Might/Int.

[silverthornJSW]

Just liek it says on the Tin. 

 

Which seems more viable.  Since druid spells are VERY slow. There are few bonus's to reduce caster speed in a meaningful way. 

 

Which seems more viable? ; 

 

High speed/recovery to toss out spells quickly with precsion. Yes I know you can move spells but too often that isn't enough.

 

Or

 

Massive strength and Large AoE with minimal recovery?

 

Regardless it seems a Druid Tank with Armor Shield  Deflection etc doesn't seem viable anymore if you want to use spells in a meaningful way.

 

Yes I know there are Druid build posts out there but non with current/last beta build.

 

 

Thoughts??

Why not try to balance both out? with a bit more focus on Might/INT

 

you can set CON to 8 and RES/PER to 10

 

maybe a stat spread like this

 

M 16

C 8

D 16

P 10

I 18

R 10

 

INT is probably most important here (Duration and AOE size) and a balance between casting speed and damage.

Picking up Rapid Casting would help a lot too.

 

I'd set PER and RES to 10 because casting speed is more important here, but you don't want terrible accuracy or to be too squishy either.

CON to 8 if you're not gonna tank anything at the front.

You can use alchemy and potions to reduce action time and recovery time. Potion of Deftness for example makes you very fast with a high Alchemy skill.

Uh wait, so alchemy increase the effectiveness of potions? I thought it was only required to craft higher level ones... That's interesting

[Boeroer]

It increases the effect of potions and drugs like crazy - at least in the beta. Maybe they nerfed it in the final version, who knows.
