    The Moon Druid is an absolute unstoppable monster in Baldur's Gate 3. You can tank, dish out insane damage and have so much tools to your disposal that you have the right answer to, really, any combat scenario. In this video we optimize a Moon Druid build going over the best Wild Shapes, leveling choices, spells, gear, generally just how to play in combat and how to progress level 1 all the way to level 12 to make sure that you will completely destroy Baldur's Gate 3, even on HONOUR MODE!
    With a bit of multiclassing you can take the kings and queens of Wild Shaping truly to the next level and with the right choices and optimization you can make a Moon Druid so powerful that it just becomes ridiculous. What sets the Moon Druid apart from other classes, however, is that you can physically become a new character (or animal.. or myrmidon..) for every fight which introduces a tremendous amount of flexibility and power. You also have hunderds and hunderds HP for a single encounter shooting your survivability through the absolute roof.
    In this video we make use of various Moon Druid-specific mechanics and synergies to make the Moon Druid overpowered at every stage in the game, whether it's ACT 1, ACT 2 or ACT 3. We then accordingly go over abilities, skills, leveling, how to use your attacks and Wild Shapes, subclass, races, spells, honour mode best strategy, gear, itemizations, special combos and so forth. This is the ultimate Moon Druid guide for anyone out there wanting to use this very fun, versatile and powerful class.

    Extra long video for the kings and queens of versatility: Moon Druids! Not only is it a lot of fun to play with this build due to its versatility, Moon Druids are also extremely powerful. A true win win situation. Let me know what you guys think!

      I think you did an amazing job but there's still something you missed, or decided it wasn't worth talking about. Elixirs, all of them work in wildshape. Elixer of cloud giant strength gives you 27 STR, easy to obtain in act 3 with coin. Elixer of bloodlust to get an extra action after killing an enemy. Elixir of the colossus to make the owlbear belly flop deal crazy damage. Elixir of Peerless focus, immunity to sleep, advantage on concentration checks and the charmed condition. A lot of good choices.

      you said that you would go 10 druid 1 sorcerer and then 1 cleric, you dont unlock 6th level spell slots to use to upcast conjure elemental.

      @fledgling9097 Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@janpolansky9668 yes you do. Sorcerer clerics and druids are all full spellcaster classes. Conjure elemental is a fifth level so they'll be able to gain the spell as a 9th level druid. Then you will have the spell spots of a 12th level caster because you are multiclassing into full casters.

      My favorite part of this is that I still get to play the spellcaster if I so choose or I can be the tank, it can be situational. And if you kill the ogres for the circlet that gives you 17 intelligence, all your wizard spells will do full dmg. I love this build!

    The best druid moon guide! Honestly i use wizard instead of sorcerer cause i want to learn some powerful spells. Like haste (6 attacks per turn😮 at lvl 11 ) and fire shield, furthermore i use warlock for the armour of agathys and one additional warlock spell + mortal reminder.
    I also recommend the use of potion for the moon druids . For extra feats.

  • @heathengypsy
    @heathengypsy Před 4 měsíci +13

    I like this, never thought to dip into draconic sorcerer for the built in mage armour. I think the only thing I'd change is I'd use the Gloves of Dexterity on my main character so that you can put more ability points into charisma for dialogue.

    17:57 Webs are flammable too. So wild shape into a spider and spam your bonus action webbings if you want to make the entire battlefield engulfed in fire.
    It isn't as strong as just having non-ignited webs enwebbing enemies, but if you want the party freedom of not having the battlefield covered in webs but still want to do minor fire damage to everything it's a fun synergy.
    Throw in a barrel or two, enweb the area, then summon the sphere on the webs fair enough away that it isn't in the blast radius. The webs are now a fuse extender so you don't martyrdom your flaming sphere during cheesy barrelmancy.
    It's also plain old good for extending the AoE flame effect of door blocking flaming sphere strategies.

    27:30 Take the +1 to strength from Tavern Brawler to even out strength scores of the wild shapes. The bread and butter shapes all have an odd strength score and it synergies with itself because the +1 from evening the score is mechanically a +2 to hit and damage from the feat.
    Shapes that benefit from +1 strength from Tavern Brawler:
    - Bear 19str
    - Wolf 17str
    - Dilophosaurus 19str
    - Fire Myrmidon 13str
    Then take Resilient: Constitution to even out all the oddly numbered con modifiers the shapes have because extra HP is always good.
    Shapes that benefit from +1 constitution from Resilient: Constitution:
    - Badger 15con
    - Wolf 15con
    - Owlbear 17con
    - Dilophosaurus 17con
    - Earth Myrmidon 17con
    - Fire Myrmidon 15con
    The major benefit to this is consitution saving throws are very beneficial for a druid. You're the one class that is the most inconvenienced by concentration breaking, because you need to un-wild shape yourself before expending another spell slot to recast; which is too much resource expenditure and wasted action economy 99% of the time. Proficency bonus is all you'll get as a wild shaped druid to help with your concentration without multi-classing or outside help.
    The +1 to dexterity from the video's recommended Resilient: Dexterity isn't useful in initiative rolls unless you're starting the fight already in your wild shape; which is common but not always the situation, especially if you're set up to cast your concentration spell and bonus action shape turn 1. Human form is preferred to enter combat because of how versitile your turn 1 can be; you can cast then shape, or shape then attack, all options are on the table.
    The +1 dex is pretty terrible as an attack stat bump. The only shape that benefits from it is the panther. Every other shape that has a odd dex stat uses their strength to attack.
    The dexterity saving throw profiency is debatable because most AoE spells that target dexterity are lingering effects that make you check multiple times anyways, you might roll through 1-2 checks but falling prone will always be the bane of melee builds, especially without advantage and medium dexterity of ~14-16.
    TL;DR. If you're min/maxing, take Tavern Brawler with +1 Strength and Resilient: Constitution. Those attribute +1s are going to more impactful and synergistic as well as profiency towards keeping concentration on your spells instead of a mid-stat like dex for your wildshapes and prone/hold saves.

    im gonna have to try this build in my honour run sometime
    i hope to see a spore druid guide as well sometime because it is one of my favourite subclasses
    and a bonus tip for spore druid
    Torches work really well with SD as if you have 16 wisdom at level 2 you can make them do 6-21 damage when combo'd with shillelagh and symbiotic entity
    What also works well are quarterstaves such as the Staff of Cherished Necromancy, (probably the best one) Mourning frost, Hollows staff, Cacophony (which has thunderous smite which is nice) and if you get the dual wielder feat you can use multiple at the same time or use other weapons such as the Club of hill giant strength for extra strength for example

    Shillelagh is pronounced "She-Lay-Lee"
    It's an Irish fighting stick. - A top-heavy hardwood stick, like a walking stick with a larger head.
    They were replaced by the sword-cane for a few decades until they were banned in Britain & Ireland.
    My great-grandfather had both. And my mom inherited the two.
    The sword cane is a deadly sharp four-sided solid rapier, like the German rapiers.
    (Google German fencing, it's hard to watch. Two men strike each other without face protection until one gives up. Scars were a sign of bravery, that's why Nazi generals and lutenients were always given them in movies)

    Love the video. Though I do find it kinda funny Shillelagh always trips people up in like, every single video I see where someone mentions it lol. Depending on your dialect it's either (Shuh - lay - lee) or (Shuh - lay - luh) it's an old walking stick / cudgel. Gotta love the Celts with their pronunciation of words xD. Watching Irish pronunciation trip people up always makes me smile a bit, cause it's such a confusing spelling for a majority of their words.

    With the weapon proficiencies from the cleric, it looks like they only benefit the Air and Water Myrmidon forms (Earth Myrmidons are unarmed while Fire Myrmidons wield a scimitar, a weapon that druids are already proficient with). Minor detail but thought it worth pointing out. Flails and Tridents (which the Air and Fire ones use, respectively) aren’t in the Druid’s proficiencies so you do need some sort of multiclass in order to use them well.

    Damn, that’s exactly what I was needing to make me respect my dwarf fighter to Druid and focus more on damage instead of supporting as most of the Druid’s. Like this I can keep shadow heart as a cleric tank, the ranged rogue/assassin and wizard. Cause I tend to make a no magic party on every game of the sort. So it’ll be the the first time since D&D board games that I make a character that isn’t a rogue or a fighter damage dealers, your Druid seems to have enough damage not to be considered a support.
    Amazing

      6 moon druid, 6 bear totem wild heart barbarian. Rage for half damage then shapeshift. Now you’re a bear/owl bear that takes half damage from everything. Make sure to get tavern brawler as that can help you both in and out of your wild shape forms.

      2 or 3 Wild Heart Barbarian levels is enough for extra damage and toughness/resistance. The strongest Druid build is choosing 1 level Draconic white Sorcerer and 1 War Domain Cleric at level 11-12 after levelling as a pure Moon Circle Druid.

    Loved the guide and all the information. Only thing I would have loved is when explaining the gear section to mention what would be good options in each act. Most of the gear in this guide is from Act 3. Also as you mentioned a lot of gear doesn't work in wild shape form so it feels like my druid wouldn't get gear that can be used until Act 3.

      I don’t recall all the gear in each act but basically if you see +1 AC or +1 constitution saving throws even on grey/white vanilla items or green magic items take those put them in the slot then replace them as you find better gear

    • @uniqueshitposthandle
      @uniqueshitposthandle Před 4 měsíci +1

      My last Tactician playthrough was as a Moon Druid Tav and your observation is correct. Most of your damage comes from Wild Shape, so that's what you will be using most of the time, except for some concentration spells you may want to pop for CC or buffs before entering Wild Shape.
      Most gear doesn't benefit you in Wild Shape, so in Acts 1 & 2 it's better to let the rest of your party have the best gear. If there's something left, you are looking mostly for gear that give survivability or utility before you enter wild shape or after you lose it. Effects like + initiative, + armor class, + saving throws, or maybe some spells you want to use before wild shape.

    • @BeyondTrash-xe1vs
      @BeyondTrash-xe1vs Před 4 měsíci +1

      That's because there's no druid gear until Act 3. The sole exception is a ring you can get from killing the Strange Ox.

    I should mention that as of right now, in honour mode tavern brawler does not grant damage for wild shapes. There is two versions of tavern brawler in the game, one for normal rules and one for honour rules.
    The honour rules one removes the extra damage instance for throw (and replaces it with a damage bonus that doesn't activate a lot of items etc.). But it unfortunately also reverts the patch 5 changes.

    It might work differently in Baldur's Gate 3 than it does in standard DnD, but Draconic Resilience also increases your max HP a bit in addition to adding the AC bonus. Though maybe instead of taking a level in sorcerer, take a level in monk for that unarmored bonus based on your dex and wisdom modifiers while not wearing armor. Just a thought.

      Me and my friend are playing Honour mode and we're having good luck (made it through Act 1 with only 2 sketchy situations we got through!) with this team:
      Lore Bard and 1 level Life Cleric. Heavy/medium armor, shields, wielding 2 hand crossbows. Focusing on Warden of Vitality + Life Cleric, or control.
      Assassin Rogue 4 + Gloomstalker 3, emphasizing getting sneak attack rounds and killing tough enemies before the combat even starts.
      Battlemaster Fighter, Great Weapon master. Focusing on high damage and decent survivability.
      Finally, Moon druid. DPS, out of combat healing, big HP sponge, some spell DPS as well.
      The two tough fights were at the Creche, the room with the doctor (the Rogue ended up using a Invisibility potion to sneak away bevause everyone else was just dead) and the big room full of people (one of the random Gith got a Crown of Madness off on the bard who used Shatter and the Blood of Lathandar to horrific effect and nearly wiped us all).
      We waited until Level 5 to do any of the "boss" encounters in Act 1 (Spiders, Ethel, Owlbears, etc.) and I probably do recommend that. Way safer.
