How To Play The New Class Druid In Path Of Exile 2? - Class Details

Oct 21, 2024

Currently, the early access version of Path of Exile 2 is expected to be officially released on November 15, 2024, and this time is getting closer and closer. In the process of waiting, as an excited player, you might as well learn some detailed information about this brand new game, such as Class.

There will be 12 Classes in Path of Exile 2, 6 of which are retained from POE 1, and the other 6 are newly added. The most popular one is Druid, because she has appeared in many MMO games.

How To Play The New Class Druid In Path Of Exile 2? - Class Details

In this guide, we will introduce you to some information about Druid and how it works based on the currently leaked trailers or players’ actual playing experience. It should be noted here that some of the information here is for reference only, and everything is subject to the official version.

Druid Class Overview

First of all, Druid is a class with Strength and Intelligence attributes in its initial state, which means that it will need to rely on skill allocation in the skill tree or items in the build enhanced with POE 2 Currency to obtain the remaining Dexterity attributes, just like Templar.

In POE 2, Druid will specialize in Shapeshifting Spells and Skills, which is also a game style that many POE players have not tried, so players have very high expectations for this class. From some leaked game videos, Druid is not necessarily suitable for high-survivability tank play, but more like a mixture of melee and spell casting.

Adding its initial Strength and Intelligence attributes, it will definitely burst out with an unimaginable huge effect. According to the initial attribute allocation data, Druid may be more suitable for using Armor or Life or Energy Shield for defense, and using physical, fire or lightning offensive types.

Druid Skill Gems

At this point, very little has been revealed about Druid’s skills, so the following is just a summary.

  • Lightning Storm: Creates an area of ​​effect that deals lightning damage to enemies.
  • Volcano: Creates a volcano at your current location, which fires projectiles that deal fire damage to enemies. The longer the volcano exists, the more projectiles it fires and the more damage it does. Additionally, slamming near a volcano will trigger some extra projectiles.
  • Bear Maul: This skill helps you generate more Rage so that you have enough Rage for subsequent skills.
  • Rampage: This skill lets you slam the ground while you move, dealing damage to enemies.
  • Furious Slam: When you cast this skill, Druid slams the surrounding ground, stunning enemies and dealing damage.
  • Ferocious Roar: This skill amplifies your next slam, causing a second aftershock around your current location.
  • Summoned Wolves: This skill summons a few wolves to distract enemies during combat, giving you the ability to chip away at your enemies’ health.

Changing Form

Druids are known to use hybrid spells and Shapeshift spells in MMOs. Path of Exile 2 is no exception. Here, you can see Druids frequently switching between human and animal forms.

When you use some skills, you can switch back and forth between the correct forms. However, it should be noted that there is a slight delay in the transition, so you need to pay attention to the order of nude skills. For example, you can use your regular spells in human form, and then transform into a bear to start using skills like a slam.

You don’t have to worry about having a big problem switching between the two, because this play style is escorted by the dual specialization system to ensure that you have a smooth and comfortable game experience at all times.

This means that you can set up a set of weapons and equipment for your regular spells and then build another set for the shapeshift. This way you can switch between the two forms freely and reduce the cost of POE Currency in the build.

Here is a little tip. When performing an evasive roll, you will automatically change from bear's form back to human form in combat. But if you are in the city, you will not change back.

Combining Skills

Compared to POE, POE 2 focuses on combining the skills of a class, so that the entire character and build will benefit a lot from it. For Druid, the most suitable skills to combine are spells and slams, which will bring substantial damage to the enemy.

First, you can use Volcano in human form to set up a volcano, which will continuously fire projectiles. Then transform into bear form and slam near this volcano, which will have more projectiles to help you kill the enemy.

In addition, the slam at this time will also be counted in the aftershock. Once it reaches a certain level, the enemy will be attacked by AOE with a lot of damage. In addition, you can also use Furious Slam to stun the enemy during this period, so that the enemy will continue to introduce the attack of flaming projectiles until it is defeated.

Or you can use Ferocious Roar to launch the next attack, and then connect with Rampage, which can cause slam damage. What a perfect offensive skill combination!

The above is some information about the new Druid Class in POE 2. I hope this guide can help you relax during your anxious wait. I wish you have fun playing this brand new game!
