[Campfire by the Players] Druid Companion on the Table

Druid

After significantly trying to “put some idea” for the Necromancer Minions, now i’m going against the Druid Companion.

So it begins.

Unique Idea

Only one unique exist at the 6th season of D4 for the Druid Companion, the legs named Storm’s Companion.

It is a very good unique who change our wolfs in WereWolfs and dealing Lightning damage instead of Physicals “Companion” Damage. Very well designed actually IMO.

Now i will try to create some Unique (refering to the Druid Diablo lore) to match up with the Storm’s Companion unique or other type of Build.

Azgar’s Inner beast (Chest)

Item lvl : 800

Maximum Life
Ranks to Call of the Wild
Ranks to All Companion Skills
One with Nature bonuses

Unique Bonus : A Grizzly now follow you, this companion can taunt your enemies and gain (+110 %- 150%) of any Stats bonus from you. You gain 2 additonnal Companion.

Eagle’s Storm (Ring)

Item lvl : 800

% Willpower
Critical Strike Chance
+50% - +80% Size of Raven’s
Ranks to Raven

Unique Bonus : Your Raven are now Eagle infused by the power of the Storm, dealing Lightning Damage and gain the Thunder Strike ability. You deal (+50% - +150%) Critical Strike Damage to all enemies hitted by the Thunder Strike ability.

PS : Thunder Strike is a AoE damage ability when the Eagle strike an enemy, dealing little area lightning damage.

Tree of Inifuss Branch (Mace or Staff?)

Item lvl : 800

Maximum Life
Critical Strike Damage
Ranks to Nature’s Reach
Ranks to Poison’s Creeper

Unique Bonus : Your Poison’s Creeper are now infused by the power of the Earth and gain the Earth’s Hands ability. You deal (200% - 300%) more Damage to all enemies hitted by the Earth’s Hands ability.

PS : Earth’s Hands is a Petrify Like, but slowing for +70% the enemies in a targeted area.

Earth’s Crown (Head)

Item lvl : 800

% Willpower
% Critical Strike Chance
Ranks to Stone Guard
Ranks to All Earth Skills

Unique Bonus : A Stone Giant now follow you, using your Boulder and your Landslide abilities. The Stone Giant gain (+150% - +200%) of your Stats and increase the Critical Strike Damage bonus of Petrify by 40%.

Instead to be a Unique, Bear or Stone Giant can be a Companion Skill in the tree. Of course.

If the Druid Community have some idea, don’t be shy.

We’re here to talk and give Blizzard some idea for the future.

That implies they come here, which, judging by all of the complaints / feedback from the druids that has been ignored, is extremely unlikely.

I hope the PTR will give enough feedback for the 7th season and give Druid more shining moment.

I think this is a great idea: perhaps Blizz is just “stuck” when it comes to druid. So an ongoing idea post may be a great non-accusatory way to assist them with the future identity of druid.

Thanks for your return.

I mean each class deserve some idea coming from the community.

I played all of the 6 class, and many idea coming from community should be use imo for a near or far future.

What i wrote is just a “fantasy” gameplay based on some mix, from Diablo II by example, who can complete or match with some build like a did in the Necromancer forum.

I will later try to do the Campfire by the Players at the Sorcerer forum. Even if less idea can coming from now.

I want a Grizzly but seems more like an aspect or unique item and if it’s strong it should probably be like the D3 ring “Tall Man’s Finger” where it sacrifices all summons to make a Grizzly summon that taunts and does heavy damage and overpowers.

7

The Grizzly should be present really, in D2 the Druid have the Bear.

Why not the D4 Druid? Because he act like a Bear?

I tried tu create a Unique to include the bear inside because no skills or aspect related, and to give him attractive bonuses for the player.

But the idea of the aspect is not bad if the Bear can be significantly be a powerful Companion.

8

Yeah I think an aspect would be best and I’d love it to be really powerful but has to be some sacrifice. Is why I mentioned the Tall Man’s Ring as an example, either have a zoo of companions or sacrifice the zoo to have a very strong single companion that acts as a tanky/dps.

Like the Necro Golem xD
