Druid

Druid is a magic-focused class with strong magic and magic resistance progression. It is less efficient at pure melee than Warrior or Berserker, but has a more flexible defensive/magical profile than a weapon-only class.

How to build around Druid

• Lean into magic and magic resistance progression.
• Use weapons as secondary tools unless your build specifically aims for a hybrid challenge.
• Druid can use weapons, but its main identity is magic and support rather than weapon mastery.
• Consider defensive positioning and support-style play when grouping.

Good early goals

• Build around magic progression rather than chasing melee weapon parity with physical classes.
• Keep a backup weapon skill practical, but avoid splitting progression too thin.
• Watch vigor and food use during long training sessions.
