LIFEBLOOM DRUID SOLOS (High Roller) | Dark and Darker

- In todays adventure in Dark and Darker, we embark on the journey of trying the new Druid perk in solos, "Lifebloom Aura"! I had a lot of success AND fun with this build in solos! I genuinely feel like its one of the best melee builds in the game!
its that knife turn back they never expect. The heals are just the icing on top. Epic gameplay, fun build, you got my sub!
@@Guendison Appreciate you bro! Thank you!
No one expects the Heal druid. Looks epic.
It’s way better than I thought it’d be in solos!
Agreed, but your kit was kinda bad due to not going for magic healing weps, like rondel and a crystal ball@@terrellsdoomed
@Anime.Primordial I am not the best player ever. I saw a new perk, put it on, and bought a cheap kit. Spending 20k on a kit just to not understand it is… a decision I will not make 😂
No joke, good video. I like the intros. 10/10
Thanks bro! 🌟
ive been having a blast with full healer druid in duos and trios, but never thought about a solo run. I'll have to try this later! Nice vid man.
It truly is surprisingly good in solos, it feels like a melee class with room for error in most situations
I built a kit with some magic healing, some max hp and dexterity on druid with about 25% action speed 150 hp and around 30 or 40% pdr, it's fun for melee but any ranged matchup is going to make you look for cover and run for your life if they know how to kite you. I lost the kit after 5 or 6 kills in the funniest way possible which made me test how good healing is too, a meta cleric with spells hit me with all the holy strikes and as I was blind, I used all the healing in my kit plus a potion and he finished me off with a locust swarm. When the locust swarm hit I was full hp and I was losing more hp than healing in that thing.
@@sadlittleaccidents yeah ranged classes do suck to play against with the build, I think the main thing is getting comfortable with the build but also realizing like yeah, sure you died.. but how much faster would you have died on rogue or barb or fighter even? I love the heals, they let you push through shit like that, although it doesn’t ALWAYS work out. Cool to see you tried it though, at least it was good for a few kills
ik somebody already mentioned the buff duration.
but you want minimum 10-11 magical healing to make this build really excel, natural healing scales per 10-11 magical healing and its honestly not even that bad to get. with 17-18 magical healing you tick for 4-5-6 a heal. with 10-11 its 3-4-5.
you could take a +3magheal bear pendant and a purple ceremonial like you have to achieve that.
also don't forget to utilize your dream fire when you are in spiritform with nature touch active on yourself. as it scales with will/magical damage and will heal you for that, it also heals per enemy hit. so you could heal yourself off a pack off mobs super quickly.
Yea it was just my first time trying the build, I dont honestly know if you even need more healing. You definitely need move speed and probably action speed/strength. A lot of stats to worry about when you start adding cast speed/magic healing, especially for a budget kit
Thorn kills so many people bc of how many hits you can take w the heals.@@jmafia48867
i thought it was 9 then 16
I was looking for some info on support druid, i've tried a few games with my duo and i like the playstyle (also to change a bit from cleric).
For the support version what stats do you recommend? I focussed on knowledge for the Cast speed and mem, can use all spells and have 17MG with book out, is Ceremonial better? Does will scale the healing? Whats the spell rotation? Haha sorry for the long text, you seem to know what you are doing

I’ve been scrapping the walls trying to find a life bloom build, thank you sir 🫡
this style of vid is ur best by far
@@Max-r4k WOOO MORE ON THE WAY 🙌🏽🌟
cool video man, and interesting build :)
Been having a ton of fun with this in solo too
its fun to be able to actually FIGHT someone rather than taking an arrow to the face and resetting for example. the ultimate W key build
@terrellsdoomed yesss, ive been baiting people by letting pve hit me then pulling out a bandage or something and acting hurt hahaha
@ oh my god that is genius! 😂
you did it ironmace, good job. SFD vision in the making
can't wait for all the people to wish for old druid back XD
I would rather this 10/10 times, but I dont know if everyone agrees with that sentiment haha
Nice plays vro, why not just use the spell book tho since you’re not holding staff for magic heals? (And spell book is +20ms over staff with faster casting)
It was my first time trying it, plus it was supposed to be a budget kit. Rondel/crystal ball would be better
I'd definitely recommend building some buff duration on this build, its super cheap and more effective than building magic heal
Yeah I didnt end up building either, buff duration is on the list for the next time I try it!
@@terrellsdoomed I just built one with 50% buff duration, I'm about to have 2nd 3rd and 4th wind
@@terrellsdoomeduse alot of Will. Magic power increases your healing. Also Will gives buff duration too
This is a super fun build, I just cannot quite make it feel right. Either I'm too slow, or can't cast fast enough or don't do enough damage. The heals pull me through usually. I feel like I need a second skill.
A second skill would be phenomenal, I agree. This build definitely is stat-hungry, so you have to build a lot of things for it to work well. I'd just experiment and tweak slightly on what works better for you. Also I'd use a one hander + crystal ball instead of castillon/ceremonial like I did
This build works against classes that don't counter your heal over time. BoC warlock and poison hide rogue are the counters to this build.
Possibly, dream walk would’ve saved me either way though
Not a lot of builds you can beat a demons glee fighter with without range, this build goes crazy
@@JeefBerkyOfficial I hope they don’t nerf this too heavily 😭
great vid man
Good ass video dude, insane build
Thank you bro! Appreciate it 🌟
wait this might be a banger
@@mrbillcams ITS BILL HIMSELF! 🌟
This is crazy
that guy at like 6:00 was dishing out the most ambiguous shit talk ever that was so weird
Comment i was looking for right here 😅. Dude was giving me mixed signals.
recommendation is to try the sun and moon perk i think it is that gives mag power and vigor instead of thorn coat and swap out mending grove for dream fire and when you in dream walk cast dream fire on them full hp instantly
@@LightningMC-sd3jw I like this idea, might try it out!
If you got the mem capacity, you can run all the spells now with double spell wheel.
@ how many stats can I realistically build is the question. It’s solos so I need move speed. Then HP. Then hitting hard would be nice, so true damage/strength. Then druids action speed is also bad, so that would be nice too. All of that.. and then I’m supposed to build for more spells 😭 like how it’s so much to build at once
We have torture mastery at home
Hot take perhaps but I feel like this definitely could be better than torture mastery!
Really nice vid! Do you have any Mag healing on your kit or is it only from the ceremonial?
@@Shlaf only from ceremonial, the base heal you get with the new perk is insane! If anything I’d build buff duration so it lasts longer (the heals)
Interesting build, have you tried rondal and crystal ball? If so why do you feel the cast is better? I agree with the dream walk early reset but i find it helps if you have crystal ball because you can instantly cast dream fire for a full chunk of hp. Looking for advice tho
Its definitely better with crystalball, im not a big fan of dream fire personally, but crystal ball/rondel for instance would be a lot less downtime!
the only problem with dark and darker is sdf has a room temp iq
Beating the demons glee is insane
Should’ve sold me his kit tho smh
@@JWL123I still have it 😂
This build looks super fun! Just curious why you used Castilian over Rondel? I personally like it more but I know Rondel tends to have the edge in most engagements because of infinite combo and armor pen
the casti is def cheaper so that could be a reason and tbh the only one i can think of
i dont understand it either, run cyclops offhand with a flanged or rondel or something, the swap and cast speed is so slow idk how he didnt die earlier, this looks way too predictable
Castillon is super cheap comparatively, I got a unique Castillon for like 300g. It was just worth it to me personally, all I wanted was a dagger
@@Paamejerbuilding knowledge in a melee fighting build would be eating away from important stats, so you can’t prioritize cast speed anyways. A cyclops vision would be cool but it was a trial run to even see if it could work, plus, the ball makes you slower. It’s not like you have dual wield like fighter either
@ ah ye, obviously dont build 9 spells, im just saying, ur cast speed with staff is super slow - 1st u need to swap to staff, cast 2-3 spells with almost no cast speed, then swap back again, just run a crystal ball/ cyclops + mainhand dagger so u dont have to swap back and forth and can re-cast mid fight, multiple times ur buffs ran out, cause 0 buff duration and u couldnt recast cause it was on a staff - alot of these kills the other opponent just choked hard and it wasnt really the build, but that is my opinion
Can you explain the clip with the rogue in the exit stairs like how you knew he was there it seemed sus af
A skeleton died, footsteps, etc. Use audio
Right when he kills the first guy, you can hear skeleton bones dropping to the floor
OP or not, I predict that there will be crying about this build just because it is new. Hopefully IM waits for some counters to develop in the meta instead of caving an nerfing the build immediately.
That is op and needs nerf
I have mixed feelings about it. I do think it worked surprisingly well, maybe some aspects of it are slightly overtuned, but would we rather this be meta, or kiting across every module in the game? I’d rather fight somebody, so this build feels good to me. It’s almost like anti kiting.
@@Halcyon550 Use your brain my guy! Here are some counters I already thought of: ROGUE: 1 throwing knife to proc dream walk, then stick on the druid with Weakpoint and Poison weapon for the free kill (or even soften with with throwing knife). THIS BUILD CANNOT RAT TO ESCAPE. 2 Play door and doorer for the free disengage. THIS BUILD CANNOT RAT TO FOLLOW. FIGHTER: 2 Trigger dreamwalk with ranged, then stick on and out DPS druid (DOOM kept having to disengage to heal against real melee classes). 2 Trigger dreamwalk, then sprint away, then bow druid down. THIS BUILD CANNOT RAT TO ESCAPE. WARLOCK: curse to trigger dream walk, then BoC for the easy clap. WIZARD: cast slow on druid, haste/invis self, fireball doors, etc. RANGER: trap to trigger dream walk, then bow druid down. SORCERER: Blow druid with wind spells to space. BARBARIAN: hatchet to trigger dream walk, then achillies to stay on druid and burst down. That is just what I thought of off the top of my head! The fact that CURRENT meta strats against druid do not work on this build DOES NOT MAKE THE BUILD IMPOSSIBLE TO COUNTER
@@tombofthememelich2192 your first example is how I died with the kit 😭, rogue played better tbh- it’s definitely a counterable build- it’s just I think people don’t know how to play against it yet
@@terrellsdoomed That is the point I was going for. I just worry because IM has a tendency to listen to griping when they should not...
coral tell em won me over
@@ItzBluExotic 😂😂 I cut it out but I died laughing after I said that
holy fuck that demon glee fighter is a paid actor
I dont think the magic heal from your staff still works if you swap weapons. just go for a book^^
@@dimabudanow9674 well it’d be the same concept for a book, crystal ball is what I need
@terrellsdoomed yee, but a book casts a lot faster than than the staff, so you can put out your heals even quicker.
+ it has less MS penalty
I fought you on my long sword fighter screaming how are you alive in VoIP lol now I know
Edit I’m in the video lol
😂😂 were you the lycan?
@yep lol
@@Khaous ggs my brother
I hate druids transformation and now they made them immortal humans with the strong ass heals, hope they put cooldown on thorncoat and make dreamwalk into a skill instead of perk
If thorncoat ISNT on a cooldown, I didn’t know that 😂. That’s insane. But I’d rather fight this than a panther ngl
I can tell you are a Barb or fighter Main
@@kazuo8947 Not hard to look at videos I’ve posted 😂
@@terrellsdoomed i didnt mean you
@@kazuo8947 ah I see 😂, no hate I was just saying 😂❤️

@ 😁
Does the additional magical healing apply for the whole duration of the heal which was cast on the ceremonial staff? Or just while holding the staff?
@@Simon-cw3ll I’m like 99% sure it’s only while holding the staff. Most optimal way is probably a crystal ball of some sort with +magical healing
how to fight a cleric?
I fought one in the vid, same thing really. Just try to hit before you get hit, dream walk, repeat.
Is this better with rondel or not?
Definitely better with rondel/crystal ball
I have a better time running this kinda kit in solo rather than duo cause my teammate does not understand heal over time effects are not instant healing.
Very good point, also in my experience the dream walk confuses my teammates too. They end up pushing to peel for me when I’m fine because I have dream walk, etc. Still super cool potential in teams tho, I just think it requires a bit more communication and teamwork
@@terrellsdoomed Just looked back at what you are running and I have a question. Why not run dreamfire? I was running it to get extra shots in before going in to stab, using it in a pinch for extra heals on natures touch when all other heals are down (especially on multiple pve) and to make all of the fighters cry themselves to sleep.
@@thehenescrew I’m not going to lie it’s 100% a skill issue I just hate Dream fire 😂😂😭
@ I have been running multiple variations to test out the capabilities of this new build. Castilion feels nice but I had issues getting spells off and swapping back occasionally. There is a build I’ve been running I really liked where you take mace or rondel dagger with crystal ball and you swap over your offhand lantern to speed yourself up after spell casting. That and the strength variation where you try and get a big dmg mace morning star hit to face and while you are full healing you spam with your offhand cry ball dream fire until ur out of dream walk and dps them down with morning star. I prefer physical damage bonus on that build to make the morning star do as much damage as possible and because dex won’t help with the plan of getting a free trade or double hit into full heal.

what stats were you building? curious
@@C0rruptedSpY I was going for move speed and true damage since I have a dagger, I just wanted to get in, do damage, and get out. I’d say it’s probably better to get some buff duration and use a rondel/crystal ball
This build with rondel and crystal ball
I like the movement speed you get from Cas dagger. You're too slow to kite in fights with rondel and ball
@@jmafia48867 True
ngl I HATE druids with a burning passion but damn bro this build you got goin here is pretty insane. no transforming BS just straight brawlin. I like it..
That’s my favorite part about it, it’s just the “let me square up with people” build 😂
Do u think this would work 124 or budget hr ?
@@EAErue budget HR for sure, I wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work in normals either
@@terrellsdoomed ty for the answer also what classes do you think are the biggest counters
@ probably rogue, wizard/sorc
If your only gonna use 5 spell though than there’s no point in not taking the transformations. Even if your not gonna fight in panther or bear they’re very usefull
@@SkymonkeyVal You can’t with the new perk that’s kinda the whole point
Outgearing someone isnt bragworthy
@@jaredh923 Do you still wear a diaper
this build is really not good, i've messed around with it a lot in 124's and even squire gear fighters/barbs 2 tap me.
@@MovementEnjoyer Barbs will always two tap you, you have to use dream walk and heal yourself my brother
@@terrellsdoomed I very easily kill barbs playing traditional transformation druid. Only reason I'm using this build is because of the rumors of the nerf incoming which is a shame, i have 600 hours on druid and it sucks theyre killing the class.
