Pillars of Eternity 2 Druid Multiclass Options Pure Druid If you’re planning to make a spellcasting Druid, Ancient is the subclass I’d definitely recommend since, even if it’s not as quite as strong as the Fury, its penalties are barely noticeable in-game. So this subclass basically gives you beefier summons and stronger spells. As a penalty, Ancients take slightly more damage from veil piercing attacks (virtually non-existent in-game) and vessels (big whoop).

AncientĪncient’s summoning and plant-based spells are cast with increased power level, which is pretty significant. Add to this the fact that Druid healing spells are very underwhelming in Pillars of Eternity 2, and I think there’s a solid case to be made that Lifegiver is the worst possible option. Lifegivers have +2 Rejuvenation power level, and +5 if they’re in shifted form, but if you try to go super saiyan with your healing by shifting, they have a big power level penalty until the end of the fight. Lifegiver is a weird one because it gains a bonus to Rejuvenation spells and a penalty to them. Keep in mind with regard to the spell lockout penalty that most of the best Druid spells linger on the battlefield doing healing or damage over time, so there’s no reason you can’t cast the spells you want in between shapeshifting forms. If you have any desire to use the shapeshifting aspect of the Druid kit, go with Shifter. However, it can also Shapeshift 5 times per fight instead of once and its shifted forms last significantly longer than a standard Druid. Its penalty is insignificant: it can’t cast spells in Shifted form, which is something you’re almost certainly never going to do anyway. I think you could make the argument that Shifter is hands down the best Druid class. Plus, frankly, the healing arsenal Druid gets in Pillars of Eternity 2 just isn’t that great. You might argue that losing out on the versatility that playing a Druid provides completely undercuts the theme of the class, but Furies do a decent amount of damage so you may want to pick this for thematic reasons.

The Storm Spirit form gains +20% damage on all the electric elemental spells, which most of the best damage-oriented Druid spells are. It loses out on all Rejuvenation spells, which is a significant loss, but in exchange it can transform into a Storm Spirit. Furyįury is the way to go if you want to create a purely offensive mage. It completely pales in comparison to what Tekehu gets, and it’s hard to argue picking it over Shifter or Ancient who have very mild penalties. Unlike other classes, there is no “pure druid” option what you get instead is the Animist subclass which has no penalties.ĭruids get different spells automatically (other spells are still available via skill points, you just don’t get them automatically) depending on which subclass you choose, and the Animist gets a balanced variety of Druid spells.
