POSHYPOP's Druid Guide | Dark and Darker

[@poshypop]

hello all i haven't been running spirit bond that much because the interactions & the aura is just so finicky sometimes, so i'm taking sun and moon instead. not much really changes because i said both options are fantastic but wanted to share, thanks fellas wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@cloud_koi4090]

For breaking door as a bear, its pretty easy, just look down when you do your overhead swing or you’ll hit the roof

[@poshypop]

good advice ty ty

[@bolenarrow9286]

Does druid still work while wearing a maid outfit?

[@poshypop]

Yes it does fortunately

[@bolenarrow9286]

Oh shit I got pinned what uppppp lol

[@lukarito]

id love a toad form for the druid. a form that uses Hold mechanics. A tongue as normal attack that u can hold and the longer you hold the longer the tongue gets. A "puke" ball that shoots and slows enemys (longer hold faster projectile) Big Jumps scaling with holding ;)

[@poshypop]

Wait this would be so sick o:

[@papascronch]

Ye toad would be sick, also spit balled a spider form, squish as hell and terrible jump but can shoot web balls or leave a web trap with poison autos

[@PrinceCahil]

yessir he is a mary sue

[@kanvoo12]

hes getting better now its honestly great t o see

[@poshypop]

It does happen but from everyone I've played with he's def still best igl

Yeah you don’t realize how terrible IGLs are in this game. I play with two absolute clowns and we shit on kids all day. People are awful at this game

sir i personally can say that from a new player(TIMMAYYY) who was very interested in druid you made a guide that was easy to follow and made me even more excited to play the class. i love the strategy tech you involved, HOT info, the entire guide is OP. thanks and subbed.

[@poshypop]

i'm very happy to hear that :) glad it helped alot

[@MantterTV]

what can you tell me about magical healing? how does it work for druid and is it worth aiming for in any support build?

[@poshypop]

@@MantterTV I talk about magical healing a decent bit in the video don't know if you saw but it works with dreamfire and natural healing, it's a stat I recommend

[@MantterTV]

@@poshypop did just skip through rn and did not see it yet but will look into that part. Was discussing it today with mates and thought you could give a quick and good answer thanks alot

[@EdWuncler3rd]

Thank you for the guide Poshy 🥂

[@poshypop]

You're very welcome hope it helps

[@jeok7744]

Good video for brand new druid players 👍 its cool to see Jaygriffuh's jump tech in here too 🙂

[@poshypop]

Honestly I wouldn't be the druid I was today without Jay griffith

[@JWL123]

Best trios cleric without a doubt. So good he heals the other team to give them more of a chance

[@poshypop]

LOL big truther on the second part :p

[@alexsanchez1620]

so if any new people see this guide that just added scaling to healing touch and restore so now some of the heals do scale with healing power

[@decay8326]

When I use spirit bond and my teammate takes damage there is a bright orange beam that comes from me and goes through the map is this happening to anyone else?

[@poshypop]

Yep that's a bug

[@xShibbolethx]

Would you recommend druid or cleric for healing a barb/ranger team?

[@poshypop]

cleric i think

[@FinisPhoenix]

I appreciate this video! look forward to more Druid content!

[@poshypop]

Thank you glad I could help (:

[@swatssb]

Yup, naming the simple pounce tech after yourself was somehow more cringey than you blowing yourself for a whole minute and a half at the start

[@smoothreux]

Seriously I swear I heard him finish like 6 times. What else to expect when you're that good?

[@poshypop]

Someone's a little cranky

[@Battle4theBacon]

He’s just telling you his credentials to explain why you should listen to what he says. The same way doctors hang their credentials on the walls of the room you’re in so you know you’re in a good place. And respectfully if I won multiple tournaments and was rank 1 in this game I’d probably air myself up too. Nothing wrong with being proud of yourself.

[@smoothreux]

@@Battle4theBacon it lost him a viewer, one little, insignificant viewer with no pull. I am interested in the game, just not someone snurf their own bubbles.

[@Battle4theBacon]

@@smoothreux ur not insignificant and neither is the fact that he’s won tournaments and was number 1 on the game. Let the man be proud of his accomplishments let him explain to you why you should value his opinion. I think you guys are just misinterpreting what he’s saying. I have zero tournament wins and am not a demigod in any season so obviously we should probably value his opinion on the class he climbs with. When you go to a job interview you bring your resume so they understand why you should be valued. That’s all he’s doing here.

[@poshypop]

Thank you very much

[@meat.]

goated guide the naysayers are yapping. egos bruised over the man who is winning rightfully airing out his accomplishments to give the vid credibility (for new people)

[@poshypop]

actual based comment much love

[@G.Franke]

Can you confirm if Force of Nature (heals buff target) works with AOE heals and constantly applies per HOT tick? Also, does the Natural Healing aura affect Spirit Bond?

[@poshypop]

1. Yes, only if it's actually healing hp tho, if you're not damaged then no 2. The auras don't conflict or mess with one another

[@b00shy68]

even though i mostly run solos, i love watching your videos for the times when i do get to run with a squad. i’m kinda dookie at running frontline or any damage classes in trios, but i really like the feeling of buffing up and healing the whole team.

[@poshypop]

You can do so much and carry fights much more as druid than if you were playing cleric , glad to hear you enjoy the vids and stuff (:

[@lordcollector]

Good to see you making helpfull content for druid. I enjoy druid immensely, as of late i have been using it to train new players. Personally I want them to add some more deuid forms and perks asap (toad, spider, snake, wolf, snake).

[@poshypop]

i think more forms would be great much love

[@hittite_gaming]

Bro wants snake so much he mentioned it twice lmao

[@allahuakbro5513]

when I hold down my Q it won't let me jump, I had to bind it to my mouse. Is there a way to work around this to be able to jump while holding either E or Q?

[@poshypop]

Uhm I'm not sure you should be able to jump while holding q or e if not then jump first then press q or e respectively

[@riggslong1817]

Im really struggling trying to master the rat hop through door windows. After rebinding my crouch to mouse button 4 ive managed to do it once. Any tips for trying to get that down pat?

[@avery1482]

Hey poshy would you change anything drastically for duos? Specifically with a barbarian as the other or bard? Maybe more hp and damage and less knowledge since it will take less time to apply hots since there's only one other person?

[@poshypop]

I honestly don't know how I'd build druids for duos sorry

[@avery1482]

@@poshypop thank you for the reply! Do you think it's still as viable as bard barbarian? Or other comps?

[@poshypop]

@@avery1482 I think it can be just would have to be tested which I haven't for duos yet

[@jukenukem7204]

Is there a reason you use forest hood over leather cap? Is leather cap not just better? More HS protection and more armor

[@poshypop]

You're right in that it gives more armor and headshot damage reduction, the reason I take it however is because of the natural MR it provides. Recently magic resist has been such a premium stat that people will build dark leathers to get their MR up, so I personally value the MR over the 3% headshot damage reduction and armor rating increase, should've clarified this in the video

[@jukenukem7204]

Great point actually. Didn't even notice that the forest hood had MR on it. Makes sense then

[@hittite_gaming]

Hood is also a very restricted piece (only druid and ranger) as opposed to the cap which is available to all classes, probably making it cheaper

[@agmaru9456]

Im a new player and I tought a build around agility+ gear would make sense to make a max panther but I don't see any videos about it. Also everyone runs book + spear, I've been using Mace+Ball two handed. Is my playstyle just shit and should I switch to spear then?

[@poshypop]

theres alot of different playstyles to do play whatever seems the most fun to you

[@hittite_gaming]

Would you consider making some teamfight reviews with druid as well? Im interested to learn more about playing support ngl and ive been loving the druid.

[@poshypop]

Yes I can do that down the line (:

[@sweetpotatothief4332]

Is Thorn Barrier breakable?

[@poshypop]

Yes

[@fersakening2961]

Post-nerfs, do you have any hope Druid will gain scaling for his healing spells? Do you think that his spells being HOT instead of burst healing would keep him from being overpowered?

[@poshypop]

No to first yes to second, it's clear that Im doesn't want his heals to scale

[@alexevans4877]

"Thorn barrier will probably nerfed, so I would say take treant" Me watching this after both got nerfed, just crying.

[@poshypop]

nop

[@joaokecek3946]

Magical Power Increase the Healing, from wiki: Total Healing = (Base Heal + Magical Healing * Scaling) * (1 + Magic Power Bonus * Scaling) * 1.2 so the perks that give MP increase the healing. Idk if its bugged with Druid, but in paper would work. Ty for the Guide :)

[@poshypop]

None of the druid spells scale with mp or mh besides dream fire

[@meganobgutzkraka2398]

in essence, like cleric, it SHOULD be scaling with more of the spells but dreamfire unfortunately either intentional or by accident, only dreamfire gets the boosts. its like smite on cleric, smite IS actually divine magic damage, it's just not listed as such atm so faithfullness does work on it

[@DboyinDtown]

Great vid and nj keeping up with the replies. Does spell buff duration make the heals last longer? Or the summon stay out longer? I was trying to stop watch test, but didn’t seem to lengthen any spell Can you talk about the summon? Any place for the tree in pvp? Do you think it’s even worth brining for dues clearing creeps?

[@poshypop]

I honestly don't know but someone sent me resources for that so I gotta check them out still

[@poshypop]

There is no shot this dude named a tech he didnt invent after himself. I don't normally use this word, but cringe bro. Holy shit, the ego to do that.

to be fair i use it better than anyone in the game , also people name things they popularize all the time

[@supfam3166]

would have been cool if you showcased the diff things you can do with animals so new players could see how to rat doors and use chicken to parkour

[@gamebruh1177]

Max Health also flat increases the health of all your transformations, that’s why i wear buckled boots and light aketon 🐀

[@poshypop]

In game lead, common term used for team leads in games like apex

[@templar9240]

[@poshypop]

I'd like to think I am at heart a support

[@hittite_gaming]

i really dont see why they would nerf thorn barrier more tbh. it already can be destroyed (possibly even faster than treant) and has less casts. only advantage it has is the size increase and that it doesnt move out of the way. ive done a bit of research and thorn barrier takes 3 hits from a 2 impact power weapon, 2 hits from a 3-5 IP weapon and gets oneshot by 6+ impact power. once people start realizing they can break it it wont be as good.

[@poshypop]

I just think the power it has to counter kiting comps is too good for the cost of the spell

[@itzdrdabber2115]

its the same as hydra its easy to kill but when you would block people w it they would panic assuming they are going to die so they just try to jump it or fight lmao

[@wilaugh8688]

Guide for solo when?

[@poshypop]

not experienced with solo druid tbh

[@puffallo1935]

I deleted my comment to retype it. buff duration will increase time in spirit form and healing time from restore debuff duration will get spirit form up more often and the 1 second cooldown for sharing teammate damage will be lower also, making you take more damage but your teammates more tanky 25% debuff duration would let you tank damage every 0.75 seconds for your team and have a 9 second spirit walk cooldown 50% buff duration (not hard to get) will give you a 7.5 second spirit walk, and a 15 second restore (45hp) which also makes it so you dont need to cast it as often. the issue is that spirit form will last longer which could be good or bad for your team. thoughts? also you wont need as much knowledge since you'll be in spiritwalk long enough to get the bigger heals off before coming out of it

[@poshypop]

Spirit form lasting longer can be good sometimes, it can also be bad sometimes. It's really situational I suppose. But these are all pretty good theory crafts I might honestly start looking for some debuff duration and buff duration gear :p

[@hittite_gaming]

Uhh i dont think a 15 second restore would heal 150 HP lmao

...god i had no idea how much healing you druids were actually doing as a cleric main i'm absolutely jealous, you have better mobility, warlocks phantomize on drugs, and a better holy strike that combos off all your healins what'd i get? less heals and faithfullness....that only really works with judgement and holy strike...yaaaaaaaaaay (I do hope with druid here, cleric stops being the communities red headed step child and actually gets love by the devs and isn't constantly called "OP", and then nerfed into the dirt)
