Been running hybrid a lot in trios it’s very possible you just gotta remember the trees and thorn walls/vines and really play a lot of spacing and utility and it can work with most comps. I’d say with panther don’t be afraid to go into bear hit a left click to send them back so you don’t get hit then transform and jump silence with panther, it can be a good burst of damage for straight panther or hybrid build
Chicken Form> Rat form ..... also turning into a bear when skirmishing then going panther will sometime allow you to get a free hit in. cause people will swing higher for a bear hit box
One of the dirties tricks druid has is being the best at third partying. In gobo caves you can follow targets around until they are hurt or burned a cooldown. Take the fights when they favor you.
@@Terran0va_Plays getting full str items with agi rolls makes u less tanky while still having full str. But with a lil agi u can still jump the casters for a free kill with panther. If u got zero agi u do no dmg with panther so ur suddenly shit outta luck. Especially in solo where the first warlock u see with kill u on pure bear.
btw if your chasing someone and you cant seem to hit them even when your literally right behind them as a panther, don’t dash towards them as it will just push you back. dash beside them and try to cut them off instead
Im a big fan of getting movespeed laceds on panther despite already hitting cap in panther. The ms that matters here is the ms while attacking, this is where 5 ms from boots and 5 ms from the perk become really good.
Greetings Mr. Demon. im a quite new bear druid player and im stil ltrying to figure out wich is the right stat for bear form, even after watching your videos. For bear 1. dexterity or action speed? 2. vigor or max healt or max healt bonus? 3. armor rating or PDR? 4. physical damage bonus or physical power? thanks, hope it dosent sound too stupid.
Hello there, I need some help. I`m playing with 330 ms panther, but I don`t feel it to be that fast. Enemies holding weapons can outrun me easily in a straight line. Could it be something that I`m doing wrong?
My advice for a panther - if somebody is running, then bite their ass! dont bite their spine, its pointless, bite their ass instead, because players are leaning forwards in dark and darker so hit spine is much harder than ass.
You still haven't found the interaction with Spirit Mastery and restore yet. In Panther Farm the less HP that you have the stronger restores healing is when paired with Spirit magic mastery. It doesn't depend on full HP that just depends on additional HP for example a restore will turn you into full health from zero if you have 6 hp in Rat form but if you're running a bunch of additional Max HP gear the restore won't do as much you should try out running Spirit magic mastery casting restore on yourself when you're near death and then turning into a rat and watch your HP climb through the roof
Hi! I am a new druid, and have a question. Does physical power (I am sure you know this demoman, but for those who don't you get 1 physical power per 1 strength) scale panther? so if I'm just running panther I'm assuming i still want my strength at 15?
with white squire gear + blue fox pendant and the new felidian skin you can get 22 agility in -24 is that good enough? only costs 50 gold for the pendant and ofcourse gotta buy the skin
i played feral druid in wow, started DaD and figured i would go kat again, almost made me quit the game. until i hit the 400 hour mark on mostly other characters and understood the game and the basics of the pvp, it felt impossible. even now compaired to everything else i play, panther just feels like the rogue/fighter argument except its bear/panther. it works but only with a bunch of gear, basically useless in under 25 GS. and even then id say rogue under 25 gs has panther beat
very sad to hear as ive been trying to get into druid but just dont want to spend time making kits just to lose them as i practice and learn (and eventually die) not worried about losing gear its mostly the time wasted building the kit :(
@@skarletismercy3275 if you have a good base grasp of the game and can hold your own in pvp, jump into druid. druid isnt very new player friendly though imo. i went back to druid after getting good at the game
Panther build is so much more fun but everyone’s running bear and that’s soo boring and clunky. I wiiish ironmace would add back the base damage to panther and reduce the scaling to compensate. That 5 base damage was so fun when it first came out and I never got a chance to see how the scaling was but low gear felt so good at the time.
i have never had more fun with this game than with druid thanks to your vids, much appreciated.
bro your druid coaching is legendary. ty for saving us druids
As always huge video!!! Building the druid community day by day!
whens chicken masterclass, tip: the +max health doesnt change if you change forms so you can have a 40+ hp rat and a 80 hp chicken
They fixed the druid shapeshift memory leak! it even feels a bit snappier than before.

I always act friendly to druids, and then betray them. It's my favorite thing to do; druids get what they deserve.
Hybrid is easily the most fun build. Prob a little less reliable than full bear though. Great guide!

I like hybrid agi str. You can take duels with pretty much anyone if you got thorncoat on. The extra DMG matters alot

Yep, also helps in human form and chicken/rat
That was an awesome video, thanks dawg
hybrid's strongest strength is switching from bear to panther as soon as they pull out their ranged weapon, don't know why that wasn't mentioned

For bear
1. dexterity or action speed?
2. vigor or max healt or max healt bonus?
3. armor rating or PDR?
4. physical damage bonus or physical power?

the zoomin to ass got me
So panther is basicslly the better rogue?

330ms is 330ms. It's as fast as you can go. They might be using the terrain or obstacles to gain distance on you.

Yes bro I know about the bug, no I'm not going to include it in guides that are supposed to be relevant for more than a week
