Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Druid class: fun, versatile, underpowered

Moonbeam is probably THE spell when you face multiple opponents while flame blade is very powerfull against a few numbers of ennemies.
You can also dualwield it with shillelagh to have 2 powerfull weapons. And you can also coat them with poison, but it become a bit cheesy (especially with the 7D6 poison).

Their AC can reach 19 with a shield and in combats moon druids have 60 free bonus HP.
Their animals attack don't miss that much of you backstab but I have to admit that I'm only playing with the bear.

They have spells to play with verticality (thunderwave), they have powerfull AoE (moonbeam), they have powerfull cantrips (shillelagh + thorn whip).
With the buggy flaming sphere you can kill anyone on the map without being attacked, but obviously it's not fun at all.

Druids are really powerfull.
Playing solo with a druid is challenging but that's not really hard even if you stick to the basics of BG3's combats (jump, highground, backstab), don't abuse the other cheats (dip, poison, food, shove) and never use the tons of scrolls, potions, grenades, barrels...

If you want to custom your difficulty level you should try this :
- (Very) Hard : use the rules of D&D
- Normal : use jump, highground, backstab
- Easy : use jump, highground, backstab dip, poison, food
- Very easy :use jump, highground, backstab dip, poison, food, shove, scrolls, potions, grenades, barrels
=> Heh that's probably another thread.

Anyway according to me the druid has strong PROs in a solo playtrough or in a party and a very limited numbers of CONs.
