You Might Be a Circle of Wildfire | Druid Subclass Guide for DND 5e

[@AlexWaff]

Circle of Dreams? Yeah, checks out. Everybody dreams of setting the world on fire.

[@demonderpz7937]

Yea, I was confused about my notification too. I do dream of fire and healing often, but that's besides the point :P

[@caarthikraj8184]

Whoever came up with arsonist druids deserves a raise

Whoever decided they shouldn't get fireball deserves a pay cut

[@goldenhardt750]

Honestly just give me firebolt the cantrip and I would be satisfied

[@grimgamer5056]

The fact that 9 times out of 10 when I get to the end of one of these videos I want to play the subclass you just covered, that just speaks volumes about how good your content is.

[@Wintermute909]

I know right? I didn't think it was even possible to make "speak druidic" sound fun!

Lead to me playing a Divinination Wizard 😆

You know what else is _flammable...?_ Spellbooks - that's what.

[@bthsr7113]

Wizard: If you destroy my spellbook one more time this campaign, I'm going to stockpile spells and components for being a chaotic evil m-hobo, and I will wipe out this whole party if they try to stop me. This is the 6th time in a month, and I'm all out of patience.

As i was watching this video, the title changed from Circle of Dreams to Circle of Wildfire. I just watched history unfold in front of me.

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

"Don't worry, I can use fire now because it makes it harder to identify the bodies afterwards!" - the Wildfire Druid, probably

[@wrightcore3367]

There are some really cool race options to play w/ Wildfire: Dragonborn, Tiefling, Fire Genasi, Summer Eladrin. Hell, I played an Aarakocra themed on the phoenix.

[@Giosuke_Giogashikata]

I have a friend who homebrewed a race specifically based on phoenixes. It’s cool, he’s saved my ass a bunch in the campaign he’s playing it in.

[@GrahamMaclagan]

I picked a Fire Gensai for my Wildfire Druid. Get extra fire power 😂

[@johannamckibben8575]

I'm currently playing a Summer Eladrin and I love it!

[@alvarox951]

you could also play a goblin, i mean they are usually depicted as being obsesced with *burning things*

[@GrahamMaclagan]

A work around for the DM throwing fire resistant baddies at ya is taking the Elemental Adept feat. “Spells you cast ignore resistance to damage of the chosen type. In addition, when you roll damage for a spell you cast that deals damage of that type, you can treat any 1 on a damage die as a 2.”

[@bman296]

"If your dm is mean they can just throw a bunch of fire resistant enemies at you" This is why I take Elemental adept and choose fire

[@gollumandeowyn]

Damn right!

[@kevvygigabyte2063]

Unfortunately doesn't help if they're immune:(

[@bman296]

@@kevvygigabyte2063 Yeah sadly

[@poke2981]

[@unvoicedapollo3318]

Honestly even if immune, you're not here for the fire but the nigh unlimited teleport

[@WolfHreda]

Ooh! It's actually Wildfire. Maybe my favorite Druid subclass, despite having literally never played a Druid.

[@wizardwerewolfbell2811]

My first character was a wildfire druid so this class will always have a place in my heart

[@Barthollomellow]

What was your wildfire spirit?

[@jordanwhite8718]

Now I’m just imagining an antagonistic relationship between a wildfire Druid and a bear totem barbarian.

[@chimchar87]

Or, both of them are protecters of a forest and stop invaders.

[@curts7801]

NO. FIREBALL. But this does explore one of the coolest facets of how real world nature.

[@AlexanderM81]

The timing is impeccable. I just played my first druid last night and picked wildfire. That teleportation ability got me out of a flooding trap and is the only reason my character survived. This class is quite literally a blast to play.

[@j.bat.8235]

"What is a wildfire druid?" Joshua Graham, possibly.

[@a.z.pantera5577]

"I survived because the fire within burned hotter than the fires around me"

[@bthsr7113]

Never forget the power of [HEAT METAL] if used right, you can debilitate your target and sustain massive amounts of fire damage over time. Some fully decked out lawful evil Oath of Conquest Paladin preparing to invade a sacred grove? Not anymore, now they have much more pressing problems.

[@Pandafaust11]

Enhanced Bond is amazing. The extra 1d8 is like a free upcast for your fire/healing spells.

[@KnicKnac]

I played a Goblin Wildfire Druid named Krackle and his flame spirit was Wick. He was a goofy goober, but respected the flame.

[@bradwillis7415]

That is fantastic

[@artiscommunication.2271]

That fire analogy at the beginning was... Well... Fire. 🔥

[@xiongray]

It must really be a Dream to be a Wildfire Druid.

[@Siegsoul]

This is what created my favorite kobold chef

[@Tonymike99]

Following the pattern of circle of life-esque druids, I'd love to see you cover the Circle of Spores!

[@shadowldrago]

Archdruid is insane. You have basically permanent Subtle Spell, you can stay in Wild Shape, which you have unlimited charges of, and you can cast while in Wild Shape. Meanwhile, Sorcerers can, regain 4 Sorcery Points on a short rest and Monks regain 4 ki if they roll initiative without having any. That's, underwhelming.

[@Ennjoying]

Can i just say that this video was absolutely wonderful :D I just saw the swashbuckler video and found it fantastic but the blend between pure innocence and metal in this one was just amazing. truly wonderful, thank you very much for your work. i love it ^^

[@brucewatkinson5254]

Ah, so in essence, this class is what happens when your group’s spiritualist was formerly a pyromaniac.

[@blaze048]

As someone who played this class, can confirm

[@liamdockery8544]

🎵WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE IT WAS ALWAYS BURNING SINCE THE WORLD’S BEEN TURNING🎶

[@cloud72315]

Our dm is wild with what he gives us (he also throws some crazy stuff AT us so it balances out) and when he let our Druid change his subclass to wildfire, he let the Druids pet owl bear (don’t ask cause I have a pet miniature wyvern) be his wildfire spirit so now we have a flaming siege weapon.

[@Wintermute909]

@ 8:30 sounds like the old Agent Orange theory mixed with some Napalm!

[@ZpEB2741]

Circle of the Land druid: Oh no, a forest fire! I have to save my critters! D,: Circle of Wildfire druid: >:)

[@AOmega11]

Strategy: Cromatic-DragonBorn. Fire immunity allows you to ride on your fire spirit like a horse

[@dillonchaddick695]

Great. Now I want to play Uncle Iroh in a campaign.

[@RenoKyrie]

Roleplay as a Topaz Dragonborn You are now a Chaotic Neutral destruction that also help people

[@sam_spaxter]

"The best way to hunt in the woods, is to get rid of the woods." That is an awesome line. I need to find an appropriate graphic to go with it for my coffee cup.

[@imonaboat2432]

Currently playing a Wildfire Druid actually, in the wildest campaign I've been in, and I'm loving it lol.

[@chimchar87]

Me who loves fire and mains Pyro in TF2: *Perfect*

[@damondusklight]

7:40 Best solution I can suggest here is the feat "Elemental Adept: Fire" as it kills any resistance to fire damage that you dish out.

[@GrahamMaclagan]

Fighter: Samurai would be a fun one. Underrated and has some great abilities

[@kevincandelario2573]

If your worried about resistance. Their is a feat that allows you to ignore a resistance or reduce a immunity to a resistance of said type. It's great especially on one of the most common resistance and spells damage

[@knightghaleon]

I’m actually trying the Drakewarden Wildfire Druid multiclassed thing. Flavored it as a ranger that made pacts with two fire spirits. It’s fun and having a teleport to move the tank out of a bad spot is pretty fun. I’ve tried this build with Star Druid which leaned more into my WIS stat using the archer form so we’ll see if this is just as good

[@blaze048]

One of if not the most fun sub classes I've ever had the pleasure to play,my only regret was not knowing i could keep using wildshape even with this subclass

[@starhalv2427]

That's some nice dream. Jokes aside, it's my top 1 druid class.

[@crookedfang1534]

Yay, you're at 50k!!! Let's keep going!!!!!

[@youmightbeadnd]

🎉

[@sparrowfox6943]

To be fair if you pick up the Elemental Adept feat, you can ignore resistance of a chosen element and treat any rolled 1 as a 2. And you can take it multiple times to add on to ignored resistances

[@MartinGrendele]

I love this subclass. But as a sorcerer lover, and particularly the Phoenix UA, I wish we got an official version of that instead of the way the reworked that idea into the wildfire Druid.

[@callmeanne1043]

Oh hey! I’m considering doing Wildfire for my next campaign! Some hella timing. Thanks, YMBA!

[@thekaijusleeps]

Circle of Wildfire is the Druid subclass I would be most excited to play one day 😁 also, you can always take the Elemental Adept feat to get around those fire resistances, just saying 🤷‍♂

[@xdean816]

Raise hell and praise dale!

[@vampirelordx1]

While yes, fire is the most resisted damage type in game. There is a feat for that. Forget the name, but it allows you to treat a single damage type resistance as normal and immunity as resistance. But only for one damage element type. Pick this up for fire and boom, nothing will escape the cleansing flame.

[@bradwillis7415]

But that's if DMs allow Feats.

[@hordescum9957]

Could you do Oathbreaker Paladins next? Cause I mean...follow the common theme, right? Scorched earth policy, scorched earth morality..same diff lol

[@Wintermute909]

And that right there is how you get a real fireball! @ 1:22 "and now you're cooking with fire" while someone else is.....Now we're cooking with gas!

The elemental adept (fire) feat might be a good addition if you're concerned about resistance.

Fireball is not on their expanded spell list. Otherwise a really well ballanced subclass. If your DM lets you have fireball it's A tier, but without it's just fine.
