ultimate past lives for an ultimate caster druid.

[Hobgoblin]

contemplating what i want to do with my caster druid.

while i know what past lives are good for a druid (cough, sorc, cough) i am thinking of what is the best bang for the buck.

first -

obviously this is the best i can do

3x sorc, 3 wiz, 3 clr, 3 arti, 3 fvs, 3 pally, 3 barb, 1 ranger, 1 rogue, 1 fighter, 1 monk, 1 druid, 3 wrlck, 1 bard

Along the way do 3 pdk lives, 3 morninglord - 9 divine pls, 9 arcane pls, 9 primal, 3 martial pl

gets me completionist, and bonus to all the stuff i need as a caster druid

but thats a lot of work. been there done that got the t shirt

so i could go bare bones -

3 sorc 1 lock back to druid

done quick but feels like i have so much more potential!

so i think the best bang for my buck is 10 more lives -
3 sorc, 1 wiz, 3 cleric 3 lock.

pick up some iconic lives along the way

Thinking pdk for lock lives - lil bit of meele and prr
mrng lord for cleric - probably 18 2 cleric fvs
basic human sorc
thoughts?

How is 3 Barb possibly best bang for the buck? 20 more HP out of, what, 800 or 1000 or whatever?

And between your wolf, summoning spells, and Legendary HoX, you could consider 3 Druid, which might be more useful than the extra Wiz/FvS lives. Very few Druid spells need Spell Pen.

anyone?

that was going all out - which i didnt want to do.

if i was going for completionist - i figure the extra hp would be nice.

the first/2nd life on that guy is a druid, so it might work out to do one more druid pl

For caster druid you want evocation DC, so sorcerer, sorcerer and sorcerer (maybe worth considering 4th life as sorcerer ).
Only druid spell that you really want to have spell pen is word of balance. but you'll probably can live w/o it. One wizard life can boost all your spell DC (with purchased past life wizard feat). Paladins levels can only give you benefit, but you can live w/o it also, you should have pretty decent self-healing w/o them (200+ for 8 SP w/o empower healing).
