Thanks! Will do!

Hey, thanks for your ideas, they're really great! I don't have a Discord channel currently, but maybe if we ever get to 1k subs I could make that happen? The next video I'm working on is about the older editions of D&D, and it should come out in the next few days, and I'll definitely make videos on your other ideas in the future, they're really good!

You don't have to. There are thousands of games played online, also open to strangers.

Yeah, wizards are extremely powerful, and you're right, very broken. Maybe in a part 2, I could talk about the wizard? Would that be something that you would like to see?

Thank you, glad I could inspire someone to get into Dungeondraft!

Thank you so much!

That was a map I made while I wasn't recording because I was just experimenting, it turned out pretty well though I think! There's actually two more floors to the building, so maybe I'll try to sneak them into the intro for the next video for you!

Thank you so much, that means so much to me!

Thanks for the feedback, if I make another video like this, I'll keep that in mind for sure :)

Ooh, that's a good idea, I'll definitely add that to the list of upcoming videos!

Dungeondraft is the best mapmaking software out there, in my opinion. I definitely recommend getting it because you can make some awesome stuff with it! It's also a one time purchase instead of a subscription, allows you to import custom assets, the list goes on. So you should certainly check it out!

Yep, I find 30 minute maps to be the sweet spot as well, and thanks for the comment!

Thanks!

That's a good point about the offensive shortcomings of the Druid, and I guess that even the most broken class have their limitations. Perhaps multiclassing with Wizards, as Mark Lewis says in another comment, could boost the Druid's damage if you wanted a more offensive build?

@@dungeonmastiff6616 Possibly, but I'm pretty sure there are much better multiclass combos, and if the druid loses even 1 level then they miss out on the capstone of unlimited Wildshape.

Thanks for letting me know about how overpowered the Wizard is - I never thought that using Simulacrum could be so OP! Maybe if I make a part 2 video to this, I could talk about the Wizard?

@@dungeonmastiff6616 😎👍 combine with True Polymorph... Wizards are just as powerful if not more!

Strong disagree. In my experience the only overpowered druid is the moon druid and wizards can't heal - plus if you want more spells than just the 2 you get per level with wizard - the wizard becomes a major money sink. How often do you play at 20th level? I have had 2 total sessions as a 20th level character. It was like being a God and the dm had a bad time. Most commonly used levels should play a role in determining power level - because you want something that's powerful during the most optimum levels of play. 6-10 is where I think that is. That's typically where most long term players spend their time. The characters are powerful and unique at that level - but not unkillable. Moon druids definitely rock at that level - and may be one of the most powerful - but there's one thing you aren't considering. The Bard. Specifically - Lore Bard. At level 6 - the Lore Bard gets Additional Magical Secrets. This allows them to choose any spell - including ones specifically designed for half-casters. And they get those spells way before the half-casters do. They can also heal. Also - all of their spells cost absolutely nothing. This gives them a slim advantage over wizards that becomes a much greater advantage when you consider the wizard can't heal at all. The Lore Bard also gets a feature at level 3 called cutting words. This is simply the best 3rd level ability in the game for defense - maybe even the best 3rd level ability in the game if not for the Echo Knight fighter. Combine this with Counterspell at 6th level and nothing will ever hit your party without your DM meta-gaming the shit out of the session or fudging rolls. I also did a lot of research to back this up. While the Lore Bard is the most powerful subclass from the Bard - the base Bard class is also the best base class in the game. I'm not just saying that without evidence. The dungeon dudes did a video series on best classes for each role and thought of seven roles for the game. Out of the seven roles they discussed - the bard caught a total of 4 S rankings between the two hosts and was frequently at the top of the tier list for audience rankings in the videos. They performed better - by far - than any other class in the most roles - with the audience and the co-hosts. No matter which way I decide to interpret the data from that video series - the Bard is far and away the clear winner for best class. Their power isn't limited by the damage they are capable of - it also extends into roleplay. Moon Druid is definitely a strong contender for most powerful subclass with the Lore Bard - I'd even say the moon druid might be better. But - looking at the base druid class - I can't say the same for the rest of the subclasses. My Lore Bard was the Bard I played with at level 20. One of my spells that I took for free was simulacrum. I duplicated my lore bard and gained 12 cutting words - twice the amount of counterspells I normally have - and a BOATLOAD of healing spells - and if my simulacrum went down - I had a wish spell in my back pocket that I also got for free that I could use to instacast simulacrum again. I also had the spell meteor shower and got to use it once to take out Cthulu himself. It was fun - I blew his arm off. This is basically the same strategy as being a wizard but I can also heal. I was a monster and after I blew off Cthulu's arm - my DM had us do one more session and then we began a new campaign. I got to play that bard for 2 years. So much fun. Yes - the Bard has fewer options than the wizard does as far as spells go - but honestly magical secrets covers enough spells to make up for the weakness of the Bard's limited spell list quite easily - as long as you read the spells you take first.

@@benjaminwoodham6682 TL;DR but I read some. My 20th level Wizard will beat your 20th level Bard easily. How many times have I played to 20th level? 3 campaigns and multiple Battle Royals we've played for fun against each other. We have 4 DMs in our group of 10 with 3 of the 10 playing since the 70's (myself being one). Druids and Wizards are demonstrably the most powerful. BTW... Wizards can heal (sort of) if you know what your doing. Have fun... However you play! 👍

@@MarkLewis... At level 20 the winner would be the first to win the initiative roll. We'd both have wish and would just back up beyond counterspell range and wish the other was dead or incapacitated.

Yep, Druids have been pretty broken for a while, and that's not changing any time soon. Also, I guess that 5e was created with the intention of being simpler than 4e, because that was a very complex rule system.

@@dungeonmastiff6616 can you do a video comparing 5E and 3.5?

For sure! I'll add it to the list - I have one ready to come out this weekend, then I'll do the comparison video after that!

You're absolutely right, props to you for correcting me!

@@dungeonmastiff6616 It is an easy mistake. No issue. Just glad to help. A whole new edition would be a new rules format, the 5.5 will be updates, errata consolidation, and some basic clean up and fixes of rules, spells, classes, ect. Just like between 3.0 and 3.5. Still totally compatible and useable. So like Tasha rules may be in the Player's Handbook, for example. Hopefully they fix True Strike. lol

Huh, I didn't notice that when making the map! Thanks for pointing it out, I'll try to fix it in future.

Thanks, it's good to be back!
