The Druid commands the storms and the earth and can shapeshift on the fly into a werewolf or a werebear. Skills switch your form automatically, so you can mix nature magic and animal attacks in one build.

How it plays

Spirit is the Druid's resource. Earth skills like Pulverize and Boulder, storm skills like Tornado and Lightning Storm, and wolf, raven and vine companions form the core of most builds. Spirit Boons add passive bonuses from four animal spirits.

Who it suits

Players who like hybrid builds – tanky melee one moment, area magic the next.

Tips

Pick a laneMost strong builds focus on one form or one element – werebear, werewolf, storm or earth.
Fortify and barriersDruids get plenty of barriers and Fortify – a big reason they're so sturdy.
Spirit BoonsUnlock and swap Spirit Boons in the class menu – they're free power you can change at any time.
