I agree with the OP — the Druid feels bad to play, and this is a bigger design issue that needs to be called out. A lot of it comes back to Jonathan’s design philosophy bleeding into places where it doesn’t fit.

First, the class just feels slow, and slow in a way that isn’t fun. Even the “fast” wolf form doesn’t feel fast. Strung together animations that are too long for the damage they do and low movement speed. That pacing might work for some builds, but it completely misses the mark here.

Second, it’s not thematic. A werewolf should feel agile, fluid, and aggressive. Instead, the fantasy falls apart because the gameplay doesn’t match the identity. Nothing about the wolf form feels like you’re darting around or overwhelming enemies.

Third, the forced form-swapping playstyle is tedious. Constantly morphing just to throw a spell, then morphing again to attack, then morphing again to do something else feels like busywork. That kind of complexity should be an option for players who enjoy it, not a requirement baked into the class.

Not everyone wants a Souls-like, methodical experience for every class. Different playstyles should exist, and right now it feels like everything is being forced into the same slow, deliberate mold — even when it clearly doesn’t fit.

Okay you have to actually be trolling right? God I hope so. Are you seriously manually swapping weapons?
