The Druid in Last Epoch is a versatile and powerful Mastery class that evolves from the base Primalist class, embodying the primal forces of nature and shapeshifting into fearsome forms to dominate combat. As a conduit of Eterra’s ancient power, the Druid blends melee prowess, elemental magic, and shapeshifting abilities, making it a favorite for players who enjoy flexible playstyles that combine tankiness, damage, and utility.

Forms and Playstyle
The Druid can transform into three distinct forms, each offering unique combat styles:
1. Werebear: A tanky, melee-focused form that excels in soaking damage and dealing heavy physical and elemental attacks. Werebear is the go-to for players who want to be in the thick of battle, using brute strength and survivability to overpower foes.
2. Swarmblade: A nimble and agile form specializing in fast attacks and critical strikes, ideal for players who prefer speed and precision over raw power.
3. Spriggan: A caster form that harnesses nature’s magic, summoning roots, thorns, and animals to damage and control enemies from a distance.
This shapeshifting mechanic allows Druids to adapt to various combat scenarios, switching between forms to maximize effectiveness.

Skills and Progression
Early leveling focuses on solid, straightforward skills like Swipe and Summon Wolf, which provide reliable damage and a helpful companion. Around level 20, players unlock the Druid Mastery and gain access to Werebear Form, which significantly boosts survivability and damage output. Skills like Gathering Storm, Tornado, and Summon Storm Crows add elemental damage and crowd control, enhancing both single-target and area damage capabilities.

Mobility is supported by skills such as Fury Leap, allowing Druids to navigate quickly through levels and reposition in combat. Defensive buffs and buffs like Warcry and Roar synergize well with shapeshifting, improving both offense and defense.

Passive Trees and Gear
Druids benefit from investing in Strength and Attunement passives to boost both melee and elemental damage. The Shaman passive tree offers key bonuses like Shamanic Infusion, which allows elemental attacks to penetrate enemy resistances, making elemental skills more effective. Defensive passives in the Druid tree enhance survivability, especially important for Werebear builds that stay in melee range.

Gear priorities include items that increase elemental damage, attack speed, and survivability stats such as health and resistances. Crafting and upgrading gear to optimize these stats is essential for endgame progression.

Endgame
In endgame content, Druids often rely on Werebear Form as a sustained upkeep skill, supported by buffs like Maelstrom and Warcry to maintain high damage and toughness. Builds can vary from tanky melee bruisers to elemental spellcasters or hybrid setups that use shapeshifting alongside summoned allies.
