Tips for building an awesome druid

#1
Hello there, I read a few topics about druids and the potential of a druid just blew me away. I have a lvl 103 druid and Im trying to better it as I now realize how much more better it can be. But I don't know what my stats should look like or which skills to use.

What Im looking for is a decent tank with outstanding heals and maybe a lil bit of damage mixed in the works.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks BlackMamba of Crom.

Your basically describing morph, you had better wait for his comment as he is actively posting in the druids section helping people out and givin tips and tricks on how to be a generalized druid.if you want any help with full support, or as i am a pure support (major difference lol) just ask, by pure support, i mean sacrifice everything else to keep others alive rather than yourself. I dont recommend this build as it requires the most patience out if all druid builds.

Just note that there is no perfect build, you just have to play around with what build, statuses, skills suits you well on how you play as a person.

Brief summary if what my job is, i purely heal people maximizing on heals and buffs (but i coordinated with other clanmates, so now i am maxxing abundance and rings to go along with it) and natures touch is basically a priority. My build does not require any sigils or anything like that. But it does, however, require for you to have at least 50 idols at minimum, again depending on how you play your druid if you are careful or preservative.

Ok yeah, my druid at the moment is purely support, but its very hard for him to level. So the way i do it is I use my iPad and iPhone and group my druid with my ranger. But 'double-podding' is getting boring and I'd like my druid to actually fight solo. In Crom we call my type of druid 'a group healer'.

Thank you very much though.
You have any tips to get the most out of my heals?

It sounds like the build you want is a hybrid. I'm currently running the hybrid build and it works amazing. People love grouping with me, whether it is for boss fights or just training because I'm a huge asset. I am currently level 85 and I heal 693 and I'm also able to take out mobs up to 15 levels higher than me if I wanted.

I maxed out nature's touch for max heals, then focused on high vines, lightning, and storm (in that order). Finally I put a decent amount into embrace and meditate, but I plan on dropping meditate for bark when I get some more regain.

Overall it serves it's purpose as a good all around druid.

Hmmm, i see you lost interest in pure support druids? Well i dont use double-devices to level, or multi-box as they say. In Taranis, there are two major clans, theILLUMINATI, and Pride. I am currently in Pride. In theILLUMINATI, Regenleif, a good druid that had been teaching me until lately when i caught up with his heal and surpassed his teachings basically taught me what i had to do, to be a good support druid.

To give you a taste of how good a pure support druid really is, i will summarize you two scenarios that i have gone through:

Scenario (1) :
My friend who was 63 when i had started my second druid, RoyalSeraphim (I did not have gold back then since i started from the bottom up, did not recognize book of alteration, book of rebirth, etc.). Bottomline is, he was a hybrid built druid, i am a purely support druid. He leveled fairly, decently quickly, as for i, I surpassed him very fast. Now he is 103 and i am 114. Pure supports are needed the most since they get the best out of their heals than other types of druids. Don't get me wrong, but some dps or even hybrid druids dont have the maximum potential that a pure support druid like i would have, comparing heals to one another.

Scenario (2) :
Regenleif, currently level 99 was my teacher, a master of druid arts of his time, one of them at least. I confronted him at level 32 after i saw his guide on being and druid generally a support built one. To show you the comparison on how we leveled, he is full support, i am pure support, i level much faster (the experience doesn't change whether or not the build is different) than him because i was much more needed i guess, but he took a break, he also double deviced and leveled that way.

Many things to consider about a pure support druid :

- Yes there is a difference between it and a full support druid.
- It uses its highest potential to help others and yourself as well
- May require patience
- Ressurection Idols are a must!
- Warding helps (but that is not how my build is made of)
- Without much hit-points (health or hp), pure support druids tend to lose in major battles if they are not careful.
- Since you are not hybrid, sigils are not a must, but may help if you plan on maximizing the potential of buffing and healing
- If you are in a clan with many druids, full support or not, you may want to find two or more druids to coordinate skill usage with. As for me, that is nature's touch, and abundance. Another is maxing wards, another is nature's embrace, lastly is shield of bark. With this combination and coordination with other druids of almost the same type, it maximizes the potential for keeping a group or a few alive, seeing as this works mostly on lets say major bosses, basically aggragoth.
- Need full diamonds (apart from diamond cowl - for exchange of a golden crown of wizardry), and if you want, get heroic boots of speed, helps with keeping up with your partner when duo leveling.

If you want more tips or information, please leave a feedback, if not interested, i fully understand.

As for your question about besting heals against others, try buying Golden Crown of Wizardry 150,000 gold, Master's Grimoire 200,000 gold, Diamond Icon 71,000 gold, and Diamonds [torso is 100,000 gold, greaves is 80,000 gold] (i recommend just the torso and the greaves - if you plan on buying heroic gloves of haste, which i dont know why you would, and heroic boots of speed for leveling purposes). Also try to be provided, buy, or get loot from a boss, royal, grand, fabled, and crystal rings of nature's touch. I am sure you already know these but, just for good measures.

Thanks. It seems you and I are on the same page already, as I already have golden crown of wizardry, diamond icon, and the rings. Im currently working on getting full diamond armour.

I put all my stat points in focus, is this recommended? Also I agree with sigils and resurrection idols would be nice, but I stand far enough back to not be effected by the mob yet still heal player. It takes some practice to get it down, but its worth it.

To an extent, yes, all to focus is suggested, not recommended. Suggested is that it is not the perfect build, but it does get the job done when ranging heals from 1,000 to an odd 1,050 if that makes any difference to you, by all means, do as you please. But also note that in the later levels, or in later focuses, i have experienced (and it was mentioned in one of the druid threads or replies) that after around 300 focus, the heal rate or the increase of heals drop from about 30 to 10 or even less than 5 after 300 focus. If you find that this makes a big difference between helping the group versus being counter-productive. In my opinion, you don't have to stand by it if you don't want : A druid, especially a druid should be conservative. If you find that your energy is depleting rather slowly or even fast, would you rather help it in the long run (have very high heals per cast), or would you rather help it now and recieve the most diminishing returns (having the very least potential of healing per cast)?

I, myself have a royal ring of meditate and a glass run of it as well. I do not spend any real life money (whether it be a different currency in your country) towards a game that i know will not help me in the long run in terms of real life situations except to be socially active to an extent. If you want to buy platinums, gold and sigils. Note that you should put in mind a skill : meditate. Maxing meditate should be sufficient enough to support yourself without having to spend wads of money on a game to help your character. Sigils are suggested, but note that you don't have to go over the top and get 500 sigils just for a druid. Druids dont waste that much energy, i suggest getting 100 or so to start yourself off. Think of healing using nature's touch as a buff everytime the cooldown timer wears off. This is basically a general explanation of how you should think of why you lose energy so much. Apart from buffs, heals are just buffs that dont have a timer (except for Nature's Embrace). Nature's embrace is just a low heal that helps you heal another character without having to worry about something like interrupt.

As said, if you want anymore Feedbacks and tips and such, just ask, i will be actively answering any questions or compromise suggestions and i would like to hear your opinions as well. Remember that a teachers learns to teach from a teacher.

Thanks for your replies, to be honest, I was getting bored with a pure support druid. But you've encouraged me to stick with it. Tyvm, Dragonmouth of Crom. 8-)

If i may ask, what discouraged you to stop being a pure support?

Honestly, most likely than not, the pure support build is the most unique build of all in a sense that not many people choose this build since you die easily, but if you look at the bigger picture, it is the most needed out of all the druid builds.

In Taranis, i am possibly one of two people that are pure supports. The other is in the same clan as i, he specializes in wards, as mentioned in one of the replies above. The other two are both hybrids, but we all coordinate to get the better picture of helping one another. Clans will need you the most when you use up your maximum potential at healing and buffing.

Thank you for you coordination, recognition, and reconsideration, i greatly appreciate that someone else would agree to me to much extent.
