Feb 25, 2009 17:21:00 Is there any other info on some druid bits besides the 1-3 playtest? Some druid specific feats/items/powers?

With my amazing powers of divination, I predict that in 3 weeks from now, you will have all the answers you want.

At the moment, well, there's the charsheet linked in Ranadiel's sticky, but that's it AFAIK.

I checked out and they're Shaman's, not Druid's. Luckily, because nothing about the druid would mix with necromancy in my view, while shamans could even be quite a bit into it.

Of course. A build is just a suggestion, it's not a rule.

Actually no build has been presented, just a bunch of powers.

That there will be a build is just an assumption. But since the Wizard is getting one it seems like a reasonable assumption.

Yes, and it's reasonable to expect it coming in the Primal Power book. Personally, I'm not very happy that every controller gets summoning, especially I have never liked druid's summoning, because sometimes animals just don't fit. I was happy with animals in Primal classes being limited to the spirits of the Shaman because they're insubstantial. But seriously, do you think it's a good looking scene to have the druid call a wolf in the elemental chaos? Never liked the idea of summoned animals. They should be summoning spirits or maybe strange fey-like beings (the "Forest God" of Hellboy 2, anyone??), but not true animals.

What's more, who agrees with me, join me and give this feedback to he druid summoning playtest. Maybe we manage to change something. Even only a bit of fey attached to the animals would suffice.
