Here's my Druid Guide for Dark and Darker. I consider it a hybrid support build and believe for it to be the best way to play Druid in Dark and Darker.

Is there a reason you use forest hood over leather cap? Is leather cap not just better? More HS protection and more armor

@poshypop 21 күн бұрын

You're right in that it gives more armor and headshot damage reduction, the reason I take it however is because of the natural MR it provides. Recently magic resist has been such a premium stat that people will build dark leathers to get their MR up, so I personally value the MR over the 3% headshot damage reduction and armor rating increase, should've clarified this in the video

@jukenukem7204 21 күн бұрын

Great point actually. Didn't even notice that the forest hood had MR on it. Makes sense then

@hittite_gaming 21 күн бұрын

Hood is also a very restricted piece (only druid and ranger) as opposed to the cap which is available to all classes, probably making it cheaper

@joaokecek3946 22 күн бұрын

Magical Power Increase the Healing, from wiki: Total Healing = (Base Heal + Magical Healing * Scaling) * (1 + Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * 1.2 so the perks that give MP increase the healing. Idk if its bugged with Druid, but in paper would work. Ty for the Guide :)

None of the druid spells scale with mp or mh besides dream fire

@meganobgutzkraka2398 21 күн бұрын

in essence, like cleric, it SHOULD be scaling with more of the spells but dreamfire unfortunately either intentional or by accident, only dreamfire gets the boosts. its like smite on cleric, smite IS actually divine magic damage, it's just not listed as such atm so faithfullness does work on it

i really dont see why they would nerf thorn barrier more tbh. it already can be destroyed (possibly even faster than treant) and has less casts. only advantage it has is the size increase and that it doesnt move out of the way. ive done a bit of research and thorn barrier takes 3 hits from a 2 impact power weapon, 2 hits from a 3-5 IP weapon and gets oneshot by 6+ impact power. once people start realizing they can break it it wont be as good.

@puffallo1935 22 күн бұрын

I deleted my comment to retype it. buff duration will increase time in spirit form and healing time from restore debuff duration will get spirit form up more often and the 1 second cooldown for sharing teammate damage will be lower also, making you take more damage but your teammates more tanky 25% debuff duration would let you tank damage every 0.75 seconds for your team and have a 9 second spirit walk cooldown 50% buff duration (not hard to get) will give you a 7.5 second spirit walk, and a 15 second restore (45hp) which also makes it so you dont need to cast it as often. the issue is that spirit form will last longer which could be good or bad for your team. thoughts? also you wont need as much knowledge since you'll be in spiritwalk long enough to get the bigger heals off before coming out of it
