Request for Druid (transform into any beast)
|
Hello GGG, I'd like to suggest that one of the options for the druid be it at its release or a later date that we be able to select (any beast) to transform into similar to how any beast can be tamed or corpse raised as spectre.
With this option the player would also get the skill-set of the beasts in question which would be limited to 1-2+ skills at best coming from the monster itself. This would be a very unique build and allow for a lot of immersive play not only as a druid but hybrid druid builds later on (insect leading a swarm) or a Wolf leading its pack. Please seriously consider it, Much like Raise Spectre captivated me from your orginal release in PoE1 for all of these years allowing the druid to do this would offer the same experience in a different immersive way. Countless builds would be made around this as you add more beasts to the game over time. Alternatively some sort of possession mechanic for one of the classes would be very cool to see later too. Innocence forgives you Last edited by SilentSymphony#3358 on Oct 7, 2025, 6:58:54 AM Last bumped on Oct 30, 2025, 1:02:37 PM

" I would much rather GGG spend their time to get this game out of a alpha state before adding more characters.. people experiencing wide range of crashes bugged map bosses bug citadel bosses oh the list goes on and on They need to fix the basics of the game before adding anything else..

" You do realize this (druid) is slated as content that is coming? Also i did make sure to say in my post (at a later date) such as with (abyssal lch) for example This is the period in time in which they will be doing the most drastic changes so its critical that we give our feedback during this period.

Every single beasts sound like a whole lot of work tbh.
I'm not sure it's even realistic. Would be fun tough. SSF player

" Well that's what distinguishes this game from the clones out there, it reaches farther and provides more complexity and replay value than most games these days and the replay value this would add over the core druid experience is insane. Innocence forgives you

I want to transform in a vampire but with a daylight ring and also make all monsters teenagers

I would like to note in this concept this would be a secondary unlockable or hidden ascendancy to be added at a later date.
It would not be as powerful per-say as the traditional druids transformations but would offer nuance in how one can play their build, while you may be weaker in some ways many monsters offer unique advantages or even a simple asthetic a player wants to go with. ex(tame beast) and then you transform into a beast similar to your tamed beast, quite an interesting way to go about it, additionally one could use spectres in the same manner. I'd love to see Possession mechanics at some point with a similar outcome to druid but that is another topic. Innocence forgives you Last edited by SilentSymphony#3358 on Oct 15, 2025, 8:28:06 AM

Would be super cool, but not realistic. They have trouble with main 2-3 forms to properly works, so every other beast is so huge work on it I guess.

I get irritated when the druid talk comes up.
Doubly so when streamers who want their "I'm special. I get to interview a dev" saucing starts. There is soooooo much jank and things wrong with the game right now that druid should be at the very bottom of the list. Power trips and egos at the top need put in check. Systems need reworked. Just basic fundamental stuff needs addressed. And so far, with every new shiny update, more and more seems to be broken. |

I'd like Drood to have a summoner build.
Let me call my mates from the wild and enjoy the minion build. |
