[Druid] Raven Companion

Passively the Raven is supposed to “fly above you” and periodically attack enemies.

It attacks enemies periodically alright but it is otherwise NOWHERE to be seen between those 5s intervals.

Even in Diablo 2 the Raven was always visible, ACTUALLY flying around the Druid, but here it is not visible at all, making you question whether the skill is even working passively as described.

To keep it short: why the heck is the Raven not always visible flying somewhere around the Druid character at all times, only actually swooping to attack an enemy every 5s? Why did you make it ENTIRELY INVISIBLE for ~4s and only appear each 5th second?

Yet another mind-boggling design decision. This isn’t a necromancer with X skeletons visible at once, it’s one dogdamn Raven on the screen; nobody’s FPS are gonna suffer if it were constantly visible lol.

I’m sorry, I just can’t with these decisions.

By comparison, even the Vine Creeper is VISIBLE on the screen, emerging from the ground, even when there are no enemies nearby - which lets you know the skill is working. But no, let’s make the Raven entirely invisible unless there is an enemy nearby .-.

You’ve had the winning formula figured out 2 decades ago with Diablo 2, why even attempt to reinvent the wheel - I’m sorry, make it a square - when it is completely unnecessary?

People like to play Necro and (partially at least) Druid for the minion fantasy, so if a Necro can have their Skeletons visible at all times, so should the Druid’s Raven be seen above the head/on the shoulder/nearby the character at all times as well.

W-w-what-w-why are you guys like this x_x

Not as much effort was put into the Druid as the Necro sadly

Alright! I’m sure at 25 that’s when the druids will get the Bear companion! Oh…

Cant seem to see the Ravens… Where is that little sprit thing that buffs the party, alll cut.

Also, right now in Diablo 2, we can have 8 wolves. here Duce.

It’ll be a cosmetic purchase on launch. (joking… but maybe?)
