Strength of one can also be a useful spell, if only because it makes the strength of everyone in the party 18/76 (which probably means most characters in a party are getting a boost). Druids can also heal, which is really good if you don't like resting after every encounter. Odd, but that's how these things go sometimes.įind Traps and Slow Poison can also be nice, although both have perfectly functional, if less convenient, substitutes. It's only 1st level, but becomes good around the time you get 5th level spells. In fairness, they also get Armor of Faith, which is amazing, but doesn't really come into its own until 10th level or so. No need to be immune to fear, hold and confusion if the enemies are incapable of casting it due to insect plague.

The morale failure is potent too, I remember rooms full of scared doppelgängers running around going tick tick tick while they got mopped up. The true I win button is either Berserk (Berserker or Barbarian) or Cavalier's immunities to fear or to hold for inquisitors.įear, confusion and hold are the most dangerous spells in BG1 and many characters have not immunities to these spells. I would not say this is a 'I win' button that is used often, mostly for this reason : there is only a handful of hard mage fights in BG1 (Davaeorn, Kahrk, Semaj and perhaps some of the ice island mages). Perhaps druids would be more useful if Clerics didn't exist. Especially since they get better higher level spells. Nevertheless, I agree with you on one thing, Clerics are better overall (and mages are on a whole nother level). Not to mention conjure Fire Elemental and Summon Woodland Beings You get access to these summons before Clerics and Wizards can get that powerhouse summons. Both of these skills are extremely useful when during the later parts of BG2ģ. Insect Plague destroys mages and Iron Skins makes you an awesome tank. Druids gets access to two interesting spells that no other class can obtain. Honestly, who goes single class druid anyway? If you're not picking a kit, it's MUCH better to go fighter/druid anyway since Druids can gain levels fast, especially at the beginning of BG2.Ģ. Their other spells just aren't really good enough to not take healing abilities, because other classes get better debuffs or the like.Īgain.Druids definitely have a place in group, but they're like a Bard.they don't really excell at anything, but are able to support other classes and casters very well, since they can take the spells that the other classes REALLY don't want to have to take due to having better options vs most situations.ġ. In Bg1 I'd say that either of the above builds is right up there in power alongside the most cookie cutter builds that can be imagined.ĭruids are basically the only healer. In a recent SCS run the berserker 6/Druid build got 21% of experience compared to only 15% for the berserker 6/cleric. 15% Dr with shield of faith (5% more than what cleric gets).īerserker/Druid dual build is the melee option with dual scimitars - frostbrand of course - creating a melee god. You have some of the best crowd control with web and call woodland being. Between Lightning Bolt and Call Lightning you have the 2 best single target damage spells in the game. If you want a caster Druid then you go for the Avenger kit. Seriously, its a huge area of effect, damage over time spell that prevents spell casting and causes morale failure. Insect Plague is hands down the best spell available in BG1 and its exclusive to Druids who can cast up to 3 per day.
