My Shaman Druid Wyvern Feedback after a day of mapping

TL;DR: Making a new character because this playstyle doesn't suit me.


Leveling experience:

Act 1: Bear is superior. Didn't even really try Wyvern.

Act 2: Smooth, but boring. Gameplay is basically Leap, Eat, Basic attack. Nothing else really matters.

Act 3: Similar to act 2, and really OP single target damage using Flame and Oil, but the low mobility starts to be apparent. Therefore, I kept using the same "rotation" as in act 2.

Act 4: Same as act 3.

Maps: Horrible. I spent the currency I found during campaign to max out resistances. I built the character to be decently tanky for low level maps at least. With 1700 HP / 1600 ES / 64% armor, the druid struggles to stay alive in mid tier maps (tier 6/7). The low mobility is just horrible. Yes, single target enemies and bosses die fast thanks to the incredible DPS, but you're a slow moving paper tank with flame breath or a sitting duck with oil.

Certain mechanics feel horrible with Wyvern. Delirium urges you to move quickly, which isn't really a thing on Shaman Wyvern. Breach swarms you, and while you can clear your surrounding halfway decently using flame, some things always break through the gaps and your low mobility doesn't allow you to react well to such situations. While on other classes you could hope to dodge and disengage ranged enemies and their projectiles, the Wyvern becomes a sitting duck with flame going on cooldown as soon as you dodge.

Bossing: Crazy. The single target DPS is busted.

Trials: Don't even get me started on how annoying it is to navigate that Wyvern around Sekhemas narrow corridors. Trial of Chaos is totally fine though because the Wyvern DPS carries you.

Bugs: The jank is crazy. All kind of leap mechanics constantly get you stuck in the environment. Visual glitches on afterimages, etc. Sometimes the Wyvern moves by itself because of some urge to reposition itself before Oil.

Unfortunately, I enjoy mapping more than bosses and trials. For that reason, I will reroll to something else that is more mobile and preferably ranged.
