Druid Class v1.5.2

#1 Post by HousePet »

http://te4.org/games/addons/tome/druid-class/

One whole new class, with lots of talents.
Uncast spells to produce nature based magical effects.
Its an agile nature mage, but can be played as a fighter/mage hybrid, or as a summoner hybrid.
Uses staves, alchemist gems and equilibrium.
Also contains some artifacts.

Important Notes:
Zigur:
As Druid's use spells they cannot become a Zigur follower, as this would make all their talents unusable.
However, you can still attempt to join Zigur, you might get something special instead. :)

Antimagic:
Since Druid's are used to uncasting spells, arcane disrupting items are not as detrimental to their abilities as you would expect.
They do not get a spellpower penalty and their nature spells are not affected by the arcane failure chance. These items will even increase their effective willpower for equilibrium fail checks.

Version 1.5:
Added Wild-gift/Moss.
Buffed Gale.
Fixed plant summons to count towards Blighted Summoning requirements.
Hedge gets a poison mist with Blighted Summoning.

Version 1.4:
New VFX for Whirlpool, Typhoon, Earthshaker, Fissure and Aurora.
Minor bug fixes.

Version 1.3:
Bug fixes.
Tweaks.
Changed Staff Mastery2 requirements.
Extra damage on weapons from Weapons of the Woods, Staff Mastery2 and Nature's Avatar now use attack multiplier and crit bonus.

Version 1.1:
14 synergies between talents.
8 new artifacts.
Minor talent tweaks.
More compatable.

I have played a bit with this class until I was slayed by a lv35 Orc in the Maze :( , and I have some thing come up with:

Is "Whistling Winds" meant to deal light damage to the whole screen every turn?

"Weapons of the Woods" makes mindstar a really great choice of weapon in the early game, and I don't really bother to care about staffs.

"Zephyr" is great, you can just dance around the enemy.

"Sandstorm" and the alikes always hit me first, but may be I just have done something wrong.

tbh with the mixed ranged/melee skills inside each tree it's really hard to muddle through what things work together to make useful rotations, and the game's combat log is vague enough it's not so easy to work out what's actually being effective. >_<

Oh dear. I will need to break that particular synergy... :P

The plant summoning has numerous bugs, and I have no idea where they are going wrong. :(

#13 Post by Sradac »

just claimed myself a fortress as a druid. So far so good!

I love the ability to have totally diverse builds on this thing.

Weirdling beast posed the first real threat to me, and he was actually pretty damn hard. At least with my build he was. I ended up going sustain heavy with clear skies, pure spring, song of spring, wild growth, and premonition. Have a couple gem beams for backup, 5/5 surf because it is amazing, and points in several of the passives.

Mostly I surf up to my targets and bash their heads in with a long stick (Its quite fun!)

But we all know sustain heavy characters have trouble with the weirdling beast, this guy was no exception. He ate all my sustains which were all pretty heavy on the equi side, on top of surfing into him, I was at almost 20% failure rate after just a few turns which made it hard to get nature's touch and sudden growth off reliably.

Lost a life, but eventually took him down thanks to prism-light and prism-nature giving me quite a few free lightning bolts from my eel skin armor. Thats probably what saved my life, a lucky crit from both of them at the same time.

I was also sad, and probably relieved that you thought of this HousePet, that Staff Mastery and Staff Mastery2 do NOT stack. Too bad, I Could have been doing some insane damage hehehe :mrgreen:

I think Surf needs some kind of buff though, not sure where. 5/5 gives it great range but the damage dosent increase all that much and its a pretty hefty equi cost just for a modified Rush. Maybe either increase the damage, or increase the knockback chance? Mine dosent seem to knockback all that often with 34 spellpower at level 15. My spellpower isnt massive, but its not bad either I dont think.

Clear skies might need a buff as well. If you remove the eel-skin synergy from it, I pretty much lose all reason to use it since the damage is pretty much nothing. Maybe at 5/5 make it dispel "weather" effects in its range like tornado, thunder storm, hurricane, etc? Since you know...the skies are clear, how the heck is there a hurricane here?!

Gaias embrace seems pretty good to me, except natures avatar I havent used it because I like bonking stuff in the head with my staff.

Minerals feels a little bit weak, it looks like it SHOULD be a tree that you can rely on for decent damage in a rotation. Alch bombs that are beams instead of AEs is cool but the damage is kind of low. both beams are 3/5 right now and only do 60-70 damage. Not a whole lot.

I havent used any of the top tier ones that turn your sustains into better ones (whirlpool, earthshaker, etc.) because im already running high on equi with all my sustains, I dont think I would get much use out of them before they fail.

I think at level 20 I will take Boreal, it looks good but I hads to haves my fungus at level 10. We know how that is.

I hope you get the summons working like you want, because fertilise looks awesome. (BTW its fertilize ;) )

Haven't though about Blighted Summons yet. Still not sure how a Wilder can get away with infusing their stuff with blight...

All the costs and damages need to be looked at. I didn't put much thought into them.

Clear Skies will hopefully negate certain weatherish stuff when I'm done. Walking into Derth during a particular event could be interesting...

Prism-Nature will be getting some sort of side effect. Prism-Light might get something too.

Due to a typo, the sustain enhancing sustains don't increase Equilbrium yet. :oops:

And I have no idea why the summon timer isn't working.

Of course druids can infuse summons with blight! Haven't you seen the heart of the gloom? Blighted plants everywhere! Granted, it's a rather non-druidly thing to do, but the nature-worshipping summoner has the same issue.

Hope to examine this addon in detail on the weekend, but I'm anticipating gigantic amounts of lag, like other class addons have caused (I'm looking at you stone wardens), so I'm not sure how that's going to work out.
