Druid Overview for Last Epoch (Patch 1.1)
Welcome to our Last Epoch Druid build guide for the Primalist class. Here you will learn everything about the Druid playstyle, passives, skills and strengths or weaknesses to conquer the world of Eterra.
Introduction to Druid
"A conduit for the long-dormant power of Eterra, he bends the fury of nature to his will even as he takes the form of ferocious creatures. He is an avatar of the earth's latent power, Eterra's bastion against of all that would threaten her."
The Druid is one of three Mastery classes that can be chosen from the base class of Primalist. This brawler transforms his body through the power of Eterra into a ferocious beast. Druids can take on three forms; the powerful Werebear, the nimble and deadly Swarmblade, and the wise guardian of the woodlands, a Spriggan. Each of these amazing transformations approach combat differently. The Werebear dominates his enemies through sheer willpower and raw strength. The Swarmblade gains the upperhand through agility and speed. The Spriggan calls upon the power of nature, tearing enemies apart with roots and thorned plants.

Druid Skills
Upon unlocking the Druid Mastery, you'll gain access to your Mastery-specific skill, Werebear Form. While Spriggan Form and Summon Spriggan are not specific to the Druid, the Mastery Tree itself comes with four skills total that are unlocked by placing a certain amount of points into the Tree itself. All three Primalist Masteries can use two of the four skills as long as they hit the requirements to do so. Only the Swarmblade Form and Entangling Roots skills are reserved for the Druid.
