So im yrck3, a lvl 150 druid in rosmerta who went dps for a change on an aggragoth fight. Turns out druid dps is (other then many ppl state) very strong. My gear was diamond chest and pants, wizardry crown, prince ammy (40 focus 100 nature magic), prince charm (100 nature magic 10 calm), a bark agg brace (5 shield of bark, 250 magic and 75 vit), a touch agg brace (5 nature touch, 75 focus, 250 magic), a royal and grand ring of strangling vines and royal and grand rings of lighting strike. My stats where all on focus. had a grimoire offhand and a 150 focus 200 nature magic agg book mainhand. My gloves the cloak ones with 15 focus, forgt to put focus boots on so had speed boots on. I have 400 energy sigils, wasnt enough to keep energy up tho so i used about 20 restos in the fight.
As for lures we had a pierce lure wich was maxed (34-37 or something), a max fire and ice lure (had high lvl dps mages there) and max lure of soldiers or giants didnt notice wich one), while only a 11 magic lure was available (way worse). There was a 154 rogue with agg rings, radiant es armor, 15 pierce neck, frozen dagger etc. 2 dps mages, several rangers including a lvl 156 one and a 149 warrior in the group.

Turns out druids CAN do good dps as I GOT KILL!!!

Here pics of group and kill: Good news for all dps druids that feel they are not usefull!

Well done sir!!! Bravo and a big +1 for all the druids out there. Did you use storms touch maxed also or just vines and strike? I've always felt the dps druid was slightly underrated. When i was hybrid with max vines and strike i got plenty of kills on the stonevale bosses. That was around 120 i think with a grand vines ring and a royal strike. We also have seen a dps druid get an aggy kill on lugh as well. He stayed focused on aggy the whole time while some if our dps broke off for adds occasionally. None the less an impressive feat. CONGRATZ!!!

i had all dps skills maxed, and had concurring dpsers staying on agg whole time, for example housecat lvl 154 rogue with radiant gear, prince neck, agg rings etc in alt of godo, our tank, so was semi afk most of fight, staying on agg with reg hitting, wich is most effeective.

Haha yep, Lure of Magic was 11/35, and only came from the charm i use. We should max it Yrck and try again

Hahahahaha watch next aggy fight all us druids show up hybrids. I normally use a similar build for aggy anyways so i have something to do while i wait for cool down on natures touch. I start by taking natures touch and what buff is missing,than max vines and lightning after that i dump rest of points i have left in howling wind. Seeing how i stand in range of boss most of time healing tank lets me be less idol for sure.

After this though im sure yrk will have vines covered so ill have to take a second buff lol.

Yrck, are you able to tell me whats the damage and energy cost for yr lv 44 lighting and vines on the description page? Just pondering whether indeed druid dps skills need a energy tone down like the mages.
My lv 44 storm touch cost 750 odd energy.

Thanks

yes dps costs a lot of energy, ive wasted 100 restos within a day only for energy while being dps, and that is while having 400 energy sigils active and not bossing a lot at all.

as for the exact data:

44 strangling vines= 538 energy
44 lighting strike= 280 energy
35 storm touch= 431 energy

if i dont use pots and dont use melee to have my sigils kick in every now and then my 6699 energy survives around one minute, good enough for short kills but for any ow crest drop boss not enough. so yeah during any ow boss i use pots if i want to be actual good dps, or i have to take breaks to let my sigils kick in and regain a lot and then start dpsing again.

Thanks for posting this. Having some fun making my druid dps with my +8 vines ring. Hopefully OTM will fix our energy issues!
