It is not suggested to move your ability points from wisdom into strength to benefit from tavern brawler in wild shape form, since str is determined from your wild shape form directly, and your str gets overridden. A great fest choice though.
You remind me a lot of fighting cowboy and I mean that as a compliment. Knowledgeable, Informative, direct and to the point, not afraid to break formality and speak freely here and there, doesn’t waste the viewers time.
Just want to say I subbed entirely because of your habit of "front loading information". Not from this video specifically (though I'm glad to watch it) just after I ended up watching several of yours from my recommended page.
It's not explained in the Character creator but Background effects your Influence Points as well, So you are awarded for role playing it with free re-rolls.
For multiclassing, one commonly overlooked factor is the class specific saving throw proficiency. Each class has it for two stats, giving them +2 on those saving throw rolls, and you only get it for your initial class. Now, for a druid, you probably want good constitution saving throws, because of concentration spells. Fighter and Barbarian have +2 to that. So if you are planning on combine druid with either of those, it can be worthwhile to respec when it is time to add that class, so it can be your base, for that extra +2 to the save.
So I made a druid circle of the moon, also made a beastmaster and a paladin that are in my pen for now. It took me a little bit to get the hang of him but he is getting better. Thank you again for these videos... keep them coming please
So so so so so glad they let you pick your race stats. For the longest time every optimal build was a variant human. Best warlock? Variant human. Best paladin? Variant human? Best Elf? Variant human. Best BBEG? Variant human.
Your videos are EPIC :) I've been replaying act I over and over to try to see which class I like the best and just getting a feel for the game and you've helped me with some of the finer details. Thanks, LJ
This is a great video. I really appreciate the tips on what works with circle of the moon and what doesn’t work. It’s really wonky. I was really worried that concentration spells may feel bad if I’m tanking hits because I’m in melee attacking stuff in bear or wolf form but getting war caster as a feat will really help that.
Spore Druid is a lot of fun, but it can be finicky to use undead in a lot of situations since npcs panic and run around when you have your undead in town. There’s also a bug currently where the newborn zombies your fungal zombies create aggro neutral or friendly npcs when they run out of HP and despawn. Still a lot of fun, but they’re very situational in a subclass that already has a lot of limited use capabilities inherently. I find myself using the spell level 4 dryad summon a lot since people don’t freak out about her or the wood woad in town.
Notable, Resilient Con works in wild shape. You don’t get to keep your con score but you keep your con proficiency. Important to keep Concentration in Wild Shape.
Lunar Mend is a bit of a trap because you sacrifice spell slots (the good part of the druid) to prolong being in a wild shape (the weaker non-scaling part of the druid). Even a Circle of the Moon druid will find it better to use those spell slots (between shapeshifts) on actual druid spells instead of on Lunar Mend, especially the high level spells. Lunar Mend is also awfully random with the 1d8 roll meaning you can get up to 8 times the difference in healing. Unfortunately Druid wild shapes are still bugged so some feats and unique items that are supposed to work with them currently do not.
@@rarewaifu yep save it for stuff like concentration spells before you go into wild shape lots of druid spells are good for area control with it large aoe difficult terrain or great support spells and summons and for healing in wild shape the water myrmidon are better at that job with it free powerful aoe heal with it only limit being it can only be use in combat and don't forget you can still drink potion and eat goodberry in any wild shape wild shape fall off in dmg late game but it is still one of the most tanky thing in the game with 2 wild shapes + you hp you can easily tank over 200 hp for almost free per shot rest and we not even take in resistance and tough feat that also affect wild shape
oh myrmidon cost 2 wild shapes slots btw so do have that in mind that your over all hp will be lower since you can only wild shape once per short rest and it only for moon druid
@rarewaifu just ignore lunar mend, everything else about moon druid is great. I'm currently playing a moon druid and I very rarely get knocked out of wild shape. It does happen but a lot of times my end of fight cutscenes are happening with someone besides my avatar since they're still an (owl)bear
Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope... Love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticule, and together, achieving a singular purpose against statistically long odds.
I'm doing a playthrough of an Oathbreaker Paladin with a Necromancer, Spores Druid and Pact of the Chain Warlock to have as many buffed summons as possible. It's pretty fun as long as there are bodies around
The Spore Druid is definitely the sleeper among the other two choices. It is a lot cooler than I thought it would be. But I have a game question with regards to the Spore Druid and the Myconid colony? Is there any Symbiosis or special dialogues? Thanks
Its pretty bad honestly. I was looking forward to this a lot by the time i learned they exist. It even worse because its not only that there is no special dialogue options, but your character acts like the don't know anything lol. At one point the leader is infecting a dead body with spores to reanimate it(your spore zombie summon) and you circle of the spores druid asks, what are you doing? so lame.
Actually savage attack might work, it just takes until level 10. Your elemental forms as a moon druid use weapons. Also did my first playthrough as a moon druid and it was awesome. Using a 6th level spell slot to summon a myrmidon and then wildshaping into a myrmidon was a lot of fun.
Well remember that halsin wasnt supposed to be a playable companion and jahira/minsc were probably set from the get go when they started developing the game.
I find it way more annoying that we may get 2 Druids ( plus one Ranger), but that they only come in Act 2: - Larian apparently dislikes the idea that any of the companions have access to Spike Growth before level 7 or 8. When the spell has already diminishing returns when compared to higher-level alternatives. Plus, of course: This way the player is kind of force-fed with Shadowheart when he is neither Druid nor Cleric himself.
@@ventrue7 yeah it seems weird to me that Halsin is just standing in camp until act 2 which led me to think idea that he becomes a companion developed mid way.
@@Badbentham it's annoying to me that Halsin can only join you in mid 2 and Jaheira after you complete act 2. It seems that Halsin was not originally developed as companion hence late join time even if he has been in the camp since act 1.
I like moon druid with 2 fighter levels dueling from fighter boosts damage of myrmidon shape while giving action surge and tavern brawler increases accuracy for other shapes
Circle of the moon seems like the most underated druid class because it sucks until you get tavern brawler. But water myridons might be the strongest thing in the game and moon druids can have 2 on the board at once. Giant Aoe heal that wets every enemy in a combat, Double damage on wet targets, Powerful Aoe ability that doesnt require spell slots (roughly 50% more damage than a fireball before the target is wet.)
1 point: spores reaction is single target not aoe as you indicated here. its pretty meh, I dont use it late game as i prefer my reactions for other things, early on its very good. regarding multiclass: I have been playing dark urge druid of spores 6/necromancer 6. starting stats: 9/10/14/17/14/12. start as wizard. feats: hvy armour and +2 int. get another +1 int from 'SPOILERS', and regularly drink elixirs of str for carry capacity. potential spoilers below I get by the end because 'SPOILERS' 2 flying ghouls(or 4 skeleton archers), 4 ghouls, 4 spore zombies, 1 cheeky quazit familiar, 1 elemantal/mermidon, 2 mephits, 1 deva, 1 shade wraith and if I REALLY need the help (i dont) I can also bind Mizora and port her into combat. Im still in act 3 collecting minions..looking for more. Also the undead minions get bonus hp and damage. A freindly cleric with a over cat AID is a must to give them all huge HP boost, and if your feeling spicy extra +1d4 damage or bless. The best way to trigger a bless on this small army is to use the item that gives bless when you heal and cast a cheap AOE heal. I do wish they would let me send corpses back to camp though.. finding bodies is not always easy. Life of a serial killer is a tough one ;) Edit also worth noting this char is a hell of a manipulative bitch, great in conversation - talk to dead, and talk with animals are innate for starters and with positive scores in all the mental stats with friends/guidance/enhanceability etc I basically dont fail because I have some benefits, lots of options and generally roll with advantage. Int and wis are used almost as much as cha in converstion options. lots of Arcana, lots of insight, lots of perception as well as persuade/intimidate/bullshit.
You can actually send corpses back to camp! Just use one of your high STR chars carry the body then throw them in your stash. Works just the same as loot but heavier. This is what i do on my necro playthrough and i can only imagine it would be way more useful for a group with multiple undead summoners. Kill a group throw loot to one char then have karlac pocket half a dozen bodies, send her to camp and profit!
Also notable: none of your gear matters in Wildshape. Imo moon is pretty underbaked. You can’t reactivate concentration abilities in Wild Shape, you don’t get the benefit of itemization, and most feats don’t work.
There's gear that works in wildshape. in most cases it will state works in wildshape But there's gear that works in wildshape despite not saying it does like gloves of the underdog
@@kingsarues1586 there’s a handful of items at best bro. No most of the Druid features do not work while in Wildshape. Your summons still work but every subclass gets them. Land and Spore are strictly better imo
Small correction/clarification on oathbreaker, they only help 'weapon' damage... hence fungal zombies suck with them. same for crusader mantle. does work on skeletons tho
Do you consider Shillelagh viable late game? Also, I love the fungal zombies but they cause problems with NPCs reacting either running around or following you and kinda screwing things up. Hoping to find a mod to fix that. (I get the RP but mechanically it causes problems)
As a primary, no. However if you ever have a spare bonus action and weild a good staff it is certainly worth casting it incase someone gets in your face. If you are spores you do 2d6+wis etc and shield plus med armour makes you fairly tanky. If there is no good spell to cast it is usually better to smack with a stick than use a cantrip in melee.
No extra attack is a big problem but with symbiotic entity you're looking at (1d8)+5+(1d6) for a base of 6-19 damage? Doesn't seem too bad. A great sword is (2d6)+5 for 7-17.
@@Agarwaen fair Guess it just depends on what alternative options the druid has as a bread and butter every turn attack. I don't think they have a cantrip that can keep up. If not Shillelagh then what should the druid be doing if already concentrating on a spell
It's worth pointing out two things. First, your race does lock you into a particular skill proficiency. For example, the wood elf and half wood elf get stuck with stealth proficiency. A skill I don't use. Secondly, the multi class feature is locked because of the difficulty level I play on. So, as cool as the multi class options are, I do have to go pure.
Is Open Hand Monk and Moon Druid viable for the unarmed bonuses? Wild Shape attacks do count as unarmed. Tavern Brawler is good, too, right, since it will use strength from the Wild Shapes like Bear and Owlbear?
i suppose Alert and Athletics should work? Since it prevents u from being Surprised and lets u start first and you can quickly wild shape with Bonus Action and move in to attack, does the Jump bonus affects the jump distance in wild shape also?
In my experience, Halo of Spores is a very bad attack. It misses 75% of the time, and if it hits, the damage is either too low or half-resisted anyway. It isn't good even if it's a bonus action.
Does Tavern Brawler use my wildshape's strength or my character's strength? I always thought it was the wildshape strength, but 27:00 you recommend restatting a druid into strength, which confused me.
So I do like Shadowheart but I would really like to try using Halsin as my healer. Is circle of the land as good a healer as SH? Just seems much more offensive caster and less support. Any thoughts on this?
I just decided to leave Shadowheart KO'd and abandoned in the Shadowfell (I'll give her a second chance in an evil run campaign) and now Halsin is looking at the team healer job. Was already considering him as a spore druid, melee poisoner/healer with the +poison gear and scimitar in Act 2. Thanks for the idea! Small issue: Main character is also a four elements monk (dexterity based as I also killed Astarion and needed someone to do traps and lockpicking). Maybe Halsin inherits that too and I flip main PC to open hand build.
If you leave the region after his quest with Thaniel then he will leave. You get a journal entry about it. If you try to go back to underdark or mountain pass or earlier.

so she can cast enhance ability
You don’t need guidance if you take shadowheart she already has it
I take guidance so that we can double buff enhance ability onto guidance, since you cannot cast both at the same time as they’re both concentration.
I just decided to leave Shadowheart KO'd and abandoned in the Shadowfell (I'll give her a second chance in an evil run campaign) and now Halsin is looking at the team healer job. Was already considering him as a spore druid, melee poisoner/healer with the +poison gear and scimitar in Act 2. Thanks for the idea!
Small issue: Main character is also a four elements monk (dexterity based as I also killed Astarion and needed someone to do traps and lockpicking). Maybe Halsin inherits that too and I flip main PC to open hand build.
All this until you decide to kill off Halsin I guess.
@@tejasshastha5457 the dude leaves the char with potentially the best companion story out of playthrough lol..
Where does Halsin disappear in act 2? He's gone from my camp.
What point are you up to and did you do the goblins in act 1?
He might be in the inn, with the catatonic soldier.
If you leave the region after his quest with Thaniel then he will leave. You get a journal entry about it.
If you try to go back to underdark or mountain pass or earlier.
@@kurtcobane1762 I murdered them all
Perhaps open journal from time to time and read quests or read dialogues that dont end in sex 🤔
Bro ive killed this guy twice by acident🤣
My question is, when this and most builds come online, the game over, what more is there to do once you hit 12
Ive found in my 2 playthroughs so far that if you're going through most of the game, you actually spend like half or more of act 3 at level 12
