Druid Build

[Steven]

Ok I have played about every build but have never tried to design for EE. I have decided to give EE a go. I would like a review of what I maybe missing on this build that would make him none viable. Any feedback is appreciated. Basically tried to max out for earthquake/fire/ice add dps with melee and self-sufficient with druid healing.

[Atremus]

Would you consider a 2monk splash? The lesser Water stance is +1 to your DC and two feats.

Edit: is this a Melee build?

[Steven]

Mostly a caster druid with secondary melee. I have seen any number of druid/monk builds but I am looking for utility also for the lower levels.

Would you consider a 2monk splash? The lesser Water stance is +1 to your DC and two feats.

Ocean stance doesn't get you ahead any Wisdom/DC, as it only just makes up for losing out on +2 Wisdom from the capstone.

Though you also lose the +2 to Transmutation and Conjuration DCs included in the capstone, so, for DCs, you're not even breaking even.

Still, 2 Monk feats, Evasion, those are nothing to scoff at.

But the only dc that really matters really is evocation.

I'd rather take a 1wiz and 2monk splash. I spend much more time in epics than I do in heroics and the 3 feats end up making quite a difference.

[unbongwah]

But the only dc that really matters really is evocation.

Curiously, Storm of Vengeance is Conjuration, even though Call Lightning and Call Lighting Storm are Evo. I love my SoV, so +2 DCs was worth staying pure to me on a first life.

Fire Seeds & Creeping Doom are also Conj, but so far I've been underwhelmed by them on my druids.

[Steven]

This is a fourth life character. With Wizard/Sorc past lifes. By taking the wizard past life feat I over come the lose of +2 dc by not being pure and with rogue that gives me evasion.

Grandmaster would get you +4 Wisdom, +4% Dodge and +5 saves. Not sure if that is worth 3 feats though. The two free monk feats may make up for it if they are something you would find usefull.

[SirValentine]

Grandmaster would get you +4 Wisdom, +4% Dodge and +5 saves. Not sure if that is worth 3 feats though. The two free monk feats may make up for it if they are something you would find usefull.

With those 3 feats spent, it's still only +2 more Wisdom than with no feats spent. And if you're care about DCs a lot, that's 3 feats that you can't spend on caster-type stuff.

Splashing Monk on a Cleric/Druid/FvS has big advantages, but being better at casting isn't really one of them.
