So what's currently up with Druids? Are they okay to play, or no? (self.diablo)

I am literally just starting, and my friends that I'm gonna play with are telling me "pick anything but a druid, they're bad". But then I see articles out there saying that Druids are one of the most powerful at end game. Any thoughts from some of you that have been playing?

I'm lv 72 now. Am loving my Landslide, Petrify, Trample build.

Don't be me tho, I didn't do class quest to unlock the Druid Passive boons till Lv ~37. Granted by then I at least had enough of the items to unlock every one of them.

You want your most OP essence on your weapon, and the second best one on your amulet as they give bonuses to them.

The essences you get from dungeons have the lowest stats, if you find gear with better essence rolls/% make sure to extract it for later.

Won't link all my aspects, but the landslide one and the trample one are what make it golden

All jive well together for the big pew pews.

Feel like an earth bender or earth/rock ninja, but with angry-bear-bringing the landslide spamms.

It doesn't help that apparently that quest is locked behind a stronghold. I just reached that point, hoping with the benefits of being a 2nd character I'll be able to blast through it at those low levels.

I'm gonna potentially disagree with one thing: You should maybe avoid putting your best aspect on your weapon while still in the earlyish levels. Your weapon should be upgraded regularly when you find ones that do more damage, so reapplying aspects whenever you get a new weapon can be very expensive.

I am level 40 now, have I been incredibly lucky to have both the trample and landslide aspects on dropped items? Can confirm they are fantastic to use!

Don’t know if I agree with the essence on the weapons, you should upgrade your weapon as often as possible since they define where your damage comes from afaik.
