BG3 - BEAST Mode SHAPESHIFTER DRUID Build: 9 ATKS/TURN, INFINITE INVIS & More!

Tavern brawler got fixed in patch 5 so now the damage goes through as well, not only the attack bonus, so now the build is even better!

why arey your videos so stretched df

New update states that wild shape will now benefit from tavern brawler feat

Love it ❤

It’s noteable that, if you want to remain away from strength setting potions, you can get a higher strength in wildshape from the resilient and heavily armored feats. I need to test that one potion you can get in act 2, but this means that you can at least get a 22-23 in strength while you’re an owlbear, which is another +6 to hit with tavern brawler.

Deep rothe only has more HP than wolf in the very early game. By end game it has the same health as the badger lol. Deep Rothe has the worst health scaling

great guide

So other than haste how are you getting that third action?

I would get the potion but I don't want Astarion to break up with me.

Just note - the real animal was a Sabre-Toothed Cat, there was never a 'Tiger' variant :)

If I take the tavern brawler feat and add strength will that translate to wild shape? I know the bonus damage doesn't apply. Because with this the hair and the act 2 buff we could theoretically add +4 strength to wild shape

I’m using this build I like it but how to I get up to 9 attacks I can only get 3

Take Warcaster for advantage on concentration saving throws since you maintain concentration while wild shapped

Your build ideas are top notch and so are your deep explanations. Thanks a million times for that. One thing you didn't mention makes here the build far better. When you use one of the elixirs of giant to increase your strength to 21/27, it applies to your bestial form!!! I'm in act 3 and I have 6 elixirs of 27 strentgh without looking for them. It drastically improves, along with tavern brawler feat, your efficiency as a wild shape form. I'm on my way to rescue Jaheira's oldest alive friend (no spoil of course) and I'm new to the druid class. Never touched Halsin or her. Your video helped me a lot to figure out the direction I want her to take but she'll never be able to solo the game unlike many multi-class builds can. The druid class is really too limited in my opinion compared to almost all of them. They're all damn' good.

I don't get how the fuck you get 9 atk btw. At least, except hast spell, where to find other atk ?
(English isn't my mothertongue so it's maybe explained in the video, but i missed it)

Will spores druid work with wild shape as far as the extra damage from the spores?

Somehow i know that you can make a Dark urge 👺 build for the special power that works.

War domain cleric extra attacks will work while wildshaped but you need to take the cleric levels after you get your 3rd attack at level 10 Druid.

have you tried playing on tactician+?

I prefer to take warcaster at level 4. It's a better option for opportunity attacks outside of wild shape. If you ever find yourself in that situation, but the best part about it is that it gives you advantage on constitution, saving throws for concentration. Most of the spells you're going to be casting As a moon drew, it are going to be concentration spells. So that way you can cast a spell and then wild shape To get into melee you are less likely to drop concentration.

plz can u do a Staff of Cherished Necromancy build with infinity necromancy spells? I want to see this done by you <3

Did i miss something or did they nerf the panther form after you did this guide? Apperently the invisibility is only once per short rest now.

Does this apply to the urge slayer form?

you kinda need like a dip in fighter or something for martials weapons for the elemental forms if you use them, or you can go 1 cleric to get martial weapons and bless as well and use the improved bless staff from act 1. might want to take war caster for that but eh

I saw a build dip 1 into Sorc(White Dragon) and War Cleric. Sorc for Agathys armor while in animal forms and darkness. War Cleric for weapon proficiency in Elemental forms.

I think this guide was really lacking compared to other guides. Also no need to keep saying "like I said in other videos", just skip straight to the recommended spells/cantrips.

I found this very helpful. Discovered alot of info about this class. Thanks for putting it together! Also my cat attacked the tv when u showcased the panther. He was actually biting the TV. Lmfaoh!😂

it's sad that druid does not get the love from larian. i would have love a powerful wildshape build. unfortunately while having jaheira, i have to force her into gloomstalker thief instead. i have tried using her as druid and it's just so bad. but thanks to this guide. i learn something new. but still i would have hope there are more itemizations that helped the wildshape class.

I recommend adding a 1 level dip in Fighter. You'll sacrifice the level 12 feat, but if you take the Defence Fighting Style its bonus will carry over while wild shaped, making the Armor of Moonbasking a +3 to every form's AC. Since Action Surge isn't available while shifted you can still get Druid 11 and your 6th level spell slot. Alternatively, you could do 2 Ranger if you REALLY wanted an elemental resistance, but I'd say Heroes' Feast is more valuable.

Water myrmidon AoE ability accuracy is defined by a spellcasting modifier, which is wisdon, so it' very much needed.

You like wolf? Well... Shadowheart just told me that as druid, I should not turn into a wolf, because she is scared of them, lol

Hi bro good vid but i have a question, why not multiclassing into à Wild heart barbarian ?

Does the Hag Hair and Potion apply to wild shape stats?

Calling this a build is a bit of a stretch.

you can take 1 level in fighter for weapon proficiency for your wild shape

I like Druid because it's flexible. Large numbers of enemies? AoE blasts like the classic Create Water into Call Lightning combo. Powerful single targets? Wild Shape and go to town. I stuck a Wizard level here because you've got the spells to spare on buffs if you're going into melee and you've got the stats to spare on INT if you're blasting or CCing. I paired this build with a Paladin/Bladelock smite spam build, a Berserker/Thief throwing build (water bottles ftw), and a Storm Sorcerer blaster. Cakewalked Tactician mode.

Do you keep racial traits such as racial spells or the half orc's extra critical damage when in wild shape? There are some spell-likes (Enhanced Leap etc) that would be useful, and given Wolf is good at low levels and has a way to guarantee a critical hit, that extra damage might be nice.

Druids actually DO have powerful end game gear, you just are focusing on the wrong thing.

Gear that gives free summons do not make the summons go away when you shapeshift, also, you should dip 2 levels in Wizard so you can the learn the Deva and Danse Macabre scroll that you get from Sorcerous Sundries and the Necromancy of Thay subquest.

Next, you want to equip Circle of Bones, Crypt Lord Ring, and Infernal Rapier, which let you summon a skeleton archer, mummy, and Cambion.

In total, a Moon Druid can summon Cambion (Infernal Rapier), Mummy (Crypt Lord Ring), skeleton archer (Circle of Bones), Deva (scroll from Caution Before the Steelie which you can learn as a wizard), 3x Ghoul (from Danse Macabre, nerd to dip 2levels into wizard to learn), Water myrmidon summon from upcasting Conjure elemental, 2x Ice Mephit, Dryad, and Wood woad for a total of 12 summons.

All things said and done, your summons should be outdamaging even your moon druid when optomized properly.

I wonder if the alchemy stone that makes the wizard transmuter works in druid forms?

Exactly what i was looking for right now

Yoo new vid!
I hope the devs will up druids in some way later :/

Hats off to you for continueing to play this thing as fervently as you are. After my original 326 hours I have not set one foot back into the game and with a very serious case of , been there done that.

Ring of protection also works while wildshaped

Please, find some useful way to play Slayer form.

He is back!

You forgot the helmet that gives 1 more wildshape activation

Shapeshifter hat, Armor on moonbashing, corvid token , shapeshifter boon ring, Cloak and ring of protection works, i did a druid (moon) 11/cleric (WAR for free attack) 1 for a a legendary run. i used shied + Staff of arcane bless as weapons and Tavern brawler give the % hit bonus (not damage) when used with a from who fight with fist (Owlbear, Bear, Dino, and Earth Myrmidon.) i used spells only for AOE CC and Summons.
