Druidic Mastery

The Nature mastery. Druids shapeshift into creatures based on the weapon they hold. Each form has its own buff, passive and special ability.

General mastery rules (leveling, orbs, Arcane Dust) are on the Masteries page.

Note

Numbers marked default come from the Mastery Balance controller and can be changed by staff.

How it works

1. Activate Nature mastery and open the stance window.
2. Pick a stance. You shapeshift into that creature. Which stances you see depends on what you hold:
   • Melee weapon: melee stances.
   • Bow or crossbow: archery stances.
   • Wizard staff or spellbook: mage stances.
3. While shapeshifted you move at mounted speed on foot.
4. Choosing Human returns you to normal. Dying also ends the form.

Stance switching

• Cooldown between stance changes: 60 s − 0.25 s per Nature level.

• Every switch gives a temporary stance buff:

  buff = 5% + up to 25% more with level (max 30%)
  duration = 30 s + 2 s per Nature level
  

  Casting speed and spell damage buffs are half as strong and last half as long.

Special ability gauge

Damage you deal to monsters fills a gauge. When it's full, you can unleash your stance's special ability.

gauge = 1,000 − 50 per Nature level   (min 250 damage)
