D&D 5E 5E Survivor - Subclasses (Part V: Druids)

[EzekielRaiden]

So, ignore. Got it. If you didn't want to "derail the thread" by making one post (which you just made anyway), you could have PM'ed me.

Thanks for nothing.

Back to the votes...

It has spiky, uneven power; that power comes in bursty chunks that can be difficult to manage; it exacerbates concerns regarding the durability of player characters due to the shape HP being effectively ablative; it fails to account for gear, causing certain aspects to become inordinately weak even as the character grows.

Might be more. I still think Aldarc was right to not derail things--if you wanted the question answered, making a thread would be the right choice, because you know you're going to argue with at least one (and probably every single one) of the points I've made above. More to the point of the thread...

Interesting that so many people are downvoting the most powerful subclass for Druids...

Seems unlikely the Druid subclass will win in the finals, either.

Can't really see how. Wildfire is great, its only issue being that it's very fire-focused, and Stars is one of the best available. Sure, it isn't Moon. That doesn't make it weak. I'd even say Stars overtakes Moon in power eventually.

Party composition will defintiely have an impact, but shepherd is incredibly powerful when paired with a twilight cleric. This is not hypothetical, I've ran a game with that (and a bladesigner, and a land druid... what a crazy party). The temp HP from the twilight cleric + the shepard's druid powers as a summoner was astounding.

Every subclass is incredibly powerful when paired with the incredibly powerful twilight cleric.

@Omand you have some mistakes in your votes.

Land is 26, not 24
Shepherd is 13, not 14

Here is the correct votes so far:

@DND_Reborn , do you have people on ignore?

I copied from @doctorbadwolf in Post #95 where he down-voted Land and up-voted Shepherd.

No, but he might have me blocked. Sorry for the confusion folks.
