Druid Skills

Shapeshifting allows the Druids to manipulate their own flesh and form, taking on characteristics and capabilities of the beasts they have sworn to protect. Druidic warriors follow two paths: the path of the bear, and the path of the wolf. Some Shape-shifting skills are available only to a single animal form, while others are common to both wolf and bear forms.

There is only one graphic for Werewolf or Werebear form. Weapons and armor do not show up, but your equipment is as important as it is for every other character. Weapons do just what they would in human form, but are given substantial bonuses by the wolf or bear modifiers. Listen to the sound of your weapon and pay attention to when you hit your weapon switch; it's possible to change to the wrong weapon and not realize it since there's no visual indication of the change.

Druids in fur form can not fire or throw ranged weapons. Bows and other such items can be used, but they will deal their normal damage with melee hits. A big damage bow can be quite an effective melee weapon, though.

Druids lose the ability to cast almost all of their elemental skills while in fur form.

Feral Rage[edit]

Required Level: 12
Prerequisites: Werewolf
Details: This skill enables life steal, and adds substantial bonuses to damage, attack rating, and movement speed, while active. The skill can be powered up for three levels; an orbiting, glowing red orb grows in size to indicate the degree to which this skill is charged up. The usual technique is to charge this up, and then switch to Fury for the faster hits and greater damage that skill allows.

  • The movement and life steal bonuses
  • Druid must be in Werewolf form to use this skill.
  • Effect lasts for 20 seconds after last hit. (Charge it up with the last hit on a pack, so it will still be in effect when you reach the next one.)
  • The bonuses to damage and attack rating are only applied to Feral Rage attacks, other attacks do not benefit from these even when charged up.
