So we all know the only real way to level a druid is to group, especially at higher levels.. Here are some ideas I have to make druid slightly more powerful, but without using costly skills.
Faster totems-to me swinging an animal skull on a stick would be a lot easier than swinging a sword. Totems are also 1h so IMO they should have speeds as fast as 2700 for wolf and up to 3900 for bear (I think that's the best one not sure)
Spell casting-Maybe having strangling vines act like bolas and do damage. Perhaps at a lower % rate of slow down. Lightning strike could be given a slightly shorter cool down also.
New spells-somthing like Natures Drain perhaps? A skill that did damage to the enemy and then added that into your health bar (or perhaps energy bar??) (And not as much DMG as lightning strike ofc)
Another way would be to have a "training totem" which has crush 1 but a speed of 1900 for quick totem training (IMO this is one of the harder we abilities to level)
Just simply adding some more crush or perhaps some magic DMG to the warden totem.
Making an offhand especially for druids which gave 100 magic DMG and 15 energy regen, and also increased attack speed by 10% (ofc would be a very expensive lux item)
These are my ideas. I would love to here you guys's
Thanks Basalt
NOTE: I put this under general discussion because it is more for players to comment on than for OTM to implement.
Re: ideas for adding some dps to druid
#2I personally dont believe they need more dps as is its just no druid wants to become a dps at a training level because its easier to train in a group.
Even if more dps is added their healing would need to be nerfed so bad so they dont become overpowered
Can this be moved to druid section?

#3Like I said only a little DPS would be added. Not anything like 100 DMG or something which, I agree , would make druid wayyyyoverpowered.I personally dont believe they need more dps as is its just no druid wants to become a dps at a training level because its easier to train in a group.

I dident think of posting this under druid.

#4Easy to train in a group sure. Easy to find a group? Not always.I personally dont believe they need more dps as is its just no druid wants to become a dps at a training level because its easier to train in a group.
There are many times when I wished that I could effectively solo. When damage skills are at a high level, they use too much energy to be viable. Because of low DPS and constant skill interrupts, soloing is almost impossible.

Re: ideas for adding some dps to druid
#6dont think anymore dps is needed at the moment. I was recently stat'd to do lots of damage and I was doing pretty good. The dps is not the problem, imo its the interrupts, and the huge energy toll. I found I reached 125 being able to solo a lot of mobs that similar level warriors and rogues would have trouble with and then spend longer on recuperating afterwards, albeit this relied on being able to cast a heal, which quite often i didnt get in time due to interruptions.
As for grouping to level, yep that is true, but so must every class, I dont see many toons running around the otherworld solo leveling, and if they are, you can bet they are potting, on a combo lix, or unable to find a decent group on their level for decent xp.
As for the totem, its mediocre, and about as hard to level as all weapons, although I would have loved if the frozen totem was stat'd better than diamond icon, as it looks much cooler. But unless you can get a good aggy book, the extra 200 in nature ability keeps it in my main hand. I think maybe the icon should have given an extra 200 totem ability, and have the frozen totem give the extra boost to the nature ability.
Am I starting to ramble? have I missed the point? probably!

#7You want add more dps to a druid is a easy way give them lure of magic they should have it .
And give mages packaes The same time reduction and energy reduction as mage on and you will have dps druids .
In a second tougth why druids have to get to close combat to melee and mages stays out-range.

#8Exactly. And no class should be dependent on others just to Level up.Easy to train in a group sure. Easy to find a group? Not always.
How often has that happened?Druid has gotten aggy kill on our server they don't need more dps.
I don't believe Druids need more DPS (even non-skill based) but we sure could use better power mgmt.

Re: ideas for adding some dps to druid
#10Happened twice. Beating a lvl 154 rogue with full radiant over 1200 damage and 2700 attack who wasn't on a haste. Also beat a lvl 150 warrior on a haste who ha 1300 damage. In the group was also a ranger with almost 1400 damage not on a haste but using rapid shot what he could. The high lvl rogue was on aggra constant as he is also the tank for our clan an the Druid got the kill. Druids are fine at dps it's just working out how to do it. They don't need anymore dps at all.
