I read the Druid Cantrips and initially found Shillelagh Awesome (as a bonus action it turns a club or quatertaff into a d8 Weapon and you can use your spellcasting stat for attack and damage), but then I realized that, unlike many other Cantrips, it doesn't get better with level. Neither does the Damage Die increases nor does the Druid get a second Attack.
At the first four levels its a little more damaging than Poison Spray or Thorn Whip (depending on the Attribute), but those get another damage die at 5th Level and are therefore have not only more utility (pulling & range) but are also more damaging. The only advantage I see is that you can do Opportunity Attacks with the Shillelagh, but thats it.
Is there something that I am not seeing or does this (cool) spell really becomes obsolete after a few levels?
