I have a wood elf and a half elf druid, but playing the half elf atm. She is Circle of the Land: Coast (for mirror image and misty step - the latter is possibly my most used spell in the game). So far, it's nice. She has high dex (16) and a decent armor class. Since I have Gale as a steady in my non wizard playthroughs, he is the one, that gets normally targeted by enemies. I mostly use wildshape outside of combat to prepare a sneak attack, talk to other animals (which is tons of fun) or to get through something (badger). In battle I used the spiderform mostly for web. If I know, that a battle is about to start, I'll go into spiderform, throw a web at the enemies and then turn back into humanoid form for spells.
I'm not that far into the game, I'm at the Blighted VIllage now, because I have some real life stuff that keeps me from playing as much as I want for the next 2 weeks, but so far, I like the druid. I think Moonbeam is a very powerful spell, that whip cantrip is cool and using a staff with Shillelagh is really great. My druid does a lot of damage that way.
Awesome! More and more im liking the idea of circle of the land. Every review was talking up circle of moon, and honestly...in this game versatility is key. I find id rather have more spells
