Shaman spells like Storm Totem or Wendigo Totem can provide a lot of standing power.You have access to a wide variety of support for elemental damage with skills such as Wind Devil, Stormcaller’s Pact, or Ishkandra’s Elemental Exchange.Primal Strike has high damage output, and the capability to excel in both AOE and single target damage. When starting out with the Shaman, you can use Primal Strike to level up.As a Druid, your damage output will be significantly higher than for example, a Battlemage, but you will be less durable and have to maneuver your character more often to survive. There is good synchronization within this class because both the Shaman and Arcanist skill trees have support for elemental damage. The Druid is a combination of the Shaman and Arcanist masteries and makes for an okay choice to level up as if you choose Shaman as your first class. There is a lot of potential to switch to interesting endgame builds once you’ve reached level 94, like the Spellscourge set or the Krieg set.Ī Druid faces off against a group of hero and boss enemies in the Crucible.There is a fair amount of Monster Infrequent support for Battlemages, like Shambler’s Heart, which adds flat physical damage to Forcewave, or Obsidian War Cleaver which adds 60% weapon damage to Forcewave.Powerful passive and toggle buffs like Field Command, Maiven’s Sphere of Protection, or Oleron’s Rage can steeply increase your damage and survivability.Access to Forcewave makes leveling a breeze, and the Arcanist skill tree only further supports this with abilities like Mental Alacrity.As a Battlemage, you have access to powerful passive and toggle buffs, as well as useful leveling abilities that are accessible early on in the skill tree, allowing you to have both respectable damage output, and survivability.

I tried a run in cruci pushing it as high as it could go with all the gear bonuses and it was destroying things much faster. I had it at level 12 trying to squeeze out points for other things. The one where this was most obvious, when I was trying to find out, was the panther. A level 1 briar has a lot lower stats of all types than a lvl 20 briar. And that's mostly just spawning them as they die more than me actually being in much danger.ĪFAIK the pet values are dependent on the level of the skill itself. Ultimate is kind of a snooze now to be honest. Mine have +61% now (and about to go much higher, got 2 pieces of Beastcaller's tonight! :D) and they wreck things in ultimate and I've gotten to wave 100 in gladiator. However, as a pet caller higher is always better. The base values for pets seem to be hidden. I wasn't able to find what the base value for pets' OA and DA are. Released in 2016, it currently has two expansions: Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods.
