Description

Druids in Dark and Darker are a more combat focused alternative to the cleric class with the ability to shapeshift into various forms with great combat potential and cast spells to heal themselves and allies. They also offer the ability to zone enemies using their treant, entangling vines and thorn barrier spells. They have a high mobility and so are great at running into and running from combat.

Druid memory shapeshift
anonymous | Posted on Nov 14, 2024 at 2:37 am

Hos does it work? like you can transform up to 5 different forms, but the normal one already hold up to five forms, so why would i need the second one?

anonymous | Posted on Nov 23, 2024 at 8:52 pm

They have plans to add more forms in the future

Druid Shapeshift Attack Speeds
anonymous | Posted on Oct 9, 2024 at 7:02 pm

Is it possible for anyone to upload the base attack speeds of druids shapeshifts similar to weapons? I have a DPS spreadsheet for all weapons in game that I am updating but cannot find the values anywhere.

what equipment stats do you keep when shapeshifting
anonymous | Posted on Sep 26, 2024 at 10:16 pm

I imagine you keep any stats from rings, pendants, possibly the stats from all your armor, but if you shapeshift do you keep the stats of the weapon you had out? Or what else do you keep or not keep

anonymous | Posted on Oct 3, 2024 at 2:46 am

all gear and buffs carry over to your animal form (except buffs gained from your animal abilities.) weapons do not carry over anything as you cannot equip them in animal form.

Treant under water?
anonymous | Posted on Aug 23, 2024 at 9:28 pm

Treant's spell says its more powerful under water, but how is it more powerful? does it last longer?, have for hp?, do more damage?

Magical Healing
anonymous | Posted on Aug 23, 2024 at 12:51 pm

Does magical healing apply to ever tic of the healing HOT or just the overall heal?

anonymous | Posted on Aug 28, 2024 at 4:23 am

For all damage-over-time and healing-over-time effects, added damage/healing is always added to the total. The game figures out the total damage, then divides that into ticks for base effect length, i.e. If you have 10 magic healing stat and cast Nature's Touch, the target will heal for 20 (15 base + (10 * 50% scaling)) divided by the base duration, 12 seconds, for 1.67 HP per second. Then you can use Buff Duration to make it last longer. If you had 10% buff duration, it wouldn't make you heal for the same amount over a longer time period, it would last another 1.2 seconds at the 1.67 HP per second rate, totaling to 22 HP over 13.2 seconds.

New spell scaling
anonymous | Posted on Aug 23, 2024 at 10:19 am

Now that natures touch and restore have 50% scaling, I was wondering what they all scale with?

Skadoosh | Posted on Aug 23, 2024 at 10:37 am

Magical power and Magical healing added. Same exact scaling as Cleric. Buff duration also scales the duration and thus total healing of these spells, same as before this patch.

You can click on the "scaling" text to get a better description.

anonymous | Posted on Sep 7, 2024 at 8:12 am

If I have Magical power 20 (12.8%) and magical healing bonus 0 and buff duration 5, will Nature's Touch heal 1.05*(15+20+0) or will it heal 1.05*(15*(1+0.128)+0)?

anonymous | Posted on Sep 7, 2024 at 8:15 am

sorry, 1.05*(15+10+0) or 1.05*(15*1+0.064)+0) I forgot to halve the scaling.

Does Mending Grove effect enemys aswell
anonymous | Posted on Aug 16, 2024 at 11:57 pm

Title please hook me up with the info debating on picking it up.

Also does force of Nature work on self like when i heal myself does it give 3 physical power?

Does spirit Bond do anything in solos ?

And does Sun and moon affect oneself aswell?

anonymous | Posted on Aug 17, 2024 at 5:22 am

No mending grove only heals you and teammates. Yes force of nature works on self healing as long as you are below max health. icon appears on screen. Sun and moon affects yourself. note the icons on your screen. Spirit bond may work off a summoned treant, idk would need tested. Outside of that it would have no use.

anonymous | Posted on Aug 18, 2024 at 1:23 am

Thank you for all the info! You are helping a brother in need!

anonymous | Posted on Aug 22, 2024 at 4:29 pm

Mending grove will not heal enemy players? Is it the same for Sanctuary on the Cleric?

anonymous | Posted on Oct 6, 2024 at 12:13 pm

First reply is wrong, mending grove heals any TARGETS in the radius. And yes it will apply force of nature to your enemy.. take note of the tooltip - if it says "allies" then it will only affect your teammates, but if it says "targets" then anyone in the radius gets affected. Unless the tooltip is wrong, but I highly doubt it

+True Phys Damage Interaction In Animal Forms
anonymous | Posted on Jul 13, 2024 at 12:08 pm

Does it work for Bear/Cat/etc? Or is it a dead stat while not in human form?

anonymous | Posted on Jul 16, 2024 at 5:03 am

It does not apply in animal form

Sur | Posted on Jul 20, 2024 at 4:34 am

Just noticed https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Damage#Shapeshift did not actually specify this yet... added, thanks!

Skadoosh | Posted on Aug 9, 2024 at 8:31 am

It applies, just like any other attack. The (1.0) next to the animal forms attacks means that it scales with added or true damage. This especially applies to the bleed from the panther claw attack.

Force of Nature and Natural Healing
anonymous | Posted on Jul 12, 2024 at 2:39 am

Does force of nature activate from the healing from natural healing? They work under the same intervals of 3 seconds so it seems that it should work

Jacob Chores | Posted on Jul 12, 2024 at 8:46 pm

i am also wondering this...gonna try it out in a match soon. it would effectively be an endless cycle of 3sec phys power buff, if it works lol

anonymous | Posted on Jul 12, 2024 at 9:39 pm

it works! unless you’re at full hp, natural healing will kick in and then you’ll see the FoN icon spinning round and round, constantly active.

Sur | Posted on Jul 20, 2024 at 4:30 am

will rephrase such that this is implied, thanks!

Magic power does affect healing.
anonymous | Posted on Jul 7, 2024 at 11:21 pm

To the guy above me - (Magic Power Bonus - Also known as Magical Damage Bonus, though contrary to this alternative name, it affects Healing too. Magic Power bonus governs the potency of your magical spells, magical damage dealing abilities and magical healing abilities.) and that's pulled straight from the wiki. Spreading misinformation on a wiki that has all the actual information easily available is insane.

What does magic power scale?
anonymous | Posted on Jul 2, 2024 at 5:09 pm

Which skills scale with magic power? A bunch of perks increase MP, but what skills does that affect?

anonymous | Posted on Jul 3, 2024 at 7:39 am

Magic power buffs the potency of magical healing (including health potions) and the spell damage of offensive spells (in the druid's case dreamfire).

anonymous | Posted on Jul 7, 2024 at 1:09 am

magic power does not buff the potency of magic healing, This is incorrect. The healing from magic healing is completely separate from the damage you do, and the amount of damage does not have any influence over it. None of the skills scale off magic power or magic healing except for Dreamfire, who's damage scales off magic power, and healing scales off magic healing separately.

Sur | Posted on Jul 20, 2024 at 4:36 am

Magic power does affect healing https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Healing#Healing_Formula but the only druid heals with scaling are natural healing 10% and dreamfire 100% so it doesn't end up mattering a whole lot anyways

Anyone know what the treants damage scales with?
anonymous | Posted on Jun 30, 2024 at 7:20 pm

I feel like he gets stronger with more gear but i’m not sure if it strength or some other random attribute that I have on my gear that I don’t pay as much attention too

anonymous | Posted on Jul 7, 2024 at 1:11 am

Treant's damage does not scale off anything. It is a flat damage and is the same regardless of gear.

What's the difference?
anonymous | Posted on Jun 28, 2024 at 1:49 am

what is the difference between "shape change memory 1" and "shape change memory 2"? Does it make sense to use them at the same time to get some bonuses?

anonymous | Posted on Jun 30, 2024 at 1:45 pm

each shape change memory gives you a wheel of slots for forms. currently there is not enough forms to justify the second slot.

what is “Spirit Magic”
anonymous | Posted on Jun 25, 2024 at 8:06 pm

well what is it? just casting any spell?

anonymous | Posted on Jun 26, 2024 at 3:18 am

you can check the magic type by color (see top of spell type for the colorr), you can see the green colored spell are spirit type.

anonymous | Posted on Jun 26, 2024 at 4:17 am

Any of the Verdant Green Spells. Eg. Restore, Dreamfire and Nature's Touch. Others are Earth Magic

Does tree of life buff the treant?
anonymous | Posted on Jun 23, 2024 at 3:46 pm

Well, does it?

anonymous | Posted on Jul 3, 2024 at 8:28 pm

I dont believe treant has a stat pool, so no

DanJonJr | Posted on Jul 8, 2024 at 10:47 am

all enemies do have a stat pool however the tree of life spell only buffs player targets and so cannot buff the treant

Does magical healing / buff duration increase healing on heal over time effects like druid hots ?
anonymous | Posted on Jun 18, 2024 at 1:15 pm

Does magical healing / buff duration increase healing on heal over time effects like druid hots ?

anonymous | Posted on Jun 19, 2024 at 4:26 am

From what I understand druid heals.do not scale at all

Sur | Posted on Jun 22, 2024 at 3:06 pm

In the scaling column it looks like the only heal that scales is Dreamfire's heal pulse.

All buffs scale off of buff duration though.

anonymous | Posted on Jun 27, 2024 at 3:24 pm

In my testing will had an impact consistent with a 50% scaling although it didnt account for buff duration so I need to retest

anonymous | Posted on Jun 28, 2024 at 3:14 pm

Tested more, no scaling from what I could tell, must of been some decimal health that made me think there was something going on.

anonymous | Posted on Jul 12, 2024 at 2:46 pm

What about buff duration scaling? Have you tested that? And see if you heal more over a longer period of time?

Sur | Posted on Jul 20, 2024 at 4:38 am

As stated, all buffs scale with buff duration, they aren't affected by the "% scaling" that people refer to. Dreamfire currently has 100% scaling per heal pulse, it might've been 50% when this person tested it.

WHERE DRUID GEAR IN DROP

WHERE DRUID GEAR IN DROP

DanJonJr | Posted on Jun 18, 2024 at 2:15 am

Currently druid specific gear doesn't drop from any sources but it can be obtained by completing quests and equipping it as base kit with the squire

Does Sun and Moon self buff?
anonymous | Posted on Jun 16, 2024 at 2:06 am

Title

DanJonJr | Posted on Jun 18, 2024 at 2:16 am

Yes it applies to yourself and any allies within the radius

Glow and stuff
anonymous | Posted on Jun 15, 2024 at 8:40 pm

Why does every perk of this class has to GLOW so much in the dark? Try to use a rat and keep a low profile, then you notice that you look like a lamp.

anonymous | Posted on Jul 7, 2024 at 1:13 am

it's a trade off. Try to not use those perks if you want utilize a stealthy mouse form.

What effects the multipliers in shapeshift?
anonymous | Posted on Jun 14, 2024 at 12:36 am

Hi there, just went legendary. trying to understand how to increase my dmg in panther form specifically, what stat is supposed to scale with the multiplier, i get that agility is the base stat to increase, but whats the 100(1.0) ? like can i increase the 1.0?

Sur | Posted on Jun 14, 2024 at 1:38 am

the (1.0) means the https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Damage#Scaling Scaling is 100%. Anything that affects damage/healing will be applied at 100% efficiency. See the referred link for more info, but essentially ShapeShifts can be buffed all the same ways that everything else can, in addition to their base damage directly coming from one of the primitive attributes.

anonymous | Posted on Jul 7, 2024 at 1:20 am

it scales off both your physical damage and your agility. So if you have 30% physical damage bonus you can convert that to 1.30 in place of the (1.0) part and multiply that by the percentage that is next to it (in your example it is 100 so the equation becomes (agility) x 130%. so say you have 50 agility. Your damage before taking into account any defenses or impact zone multipliers would be 65 plus any additional or true dmg you have on your gear.

anonymous | Posted on Jul 21, 2024 at 6:40 pm

Can anyone please explain to me how the Scaling work`s for shapeshift forms?

Anyone can describe the formula?

For example i have 50str for bear. SO my damage will be like (50 * 200%)=100 + scaling (what is the formula for scaling ? Also can my 200% be buffed with phusical damage bonus ? Appreciate a lot your reply

Update
anonymous | Posted on Jun 8, 2024 at 1:38 pm

This is outdated information, update the wiki.

Grass | Posted on Jun 8, 2024 at 9:13 pm

This page is a WIP, look at the banner

anonymous | Posted on Jun 14, 2024 at 2:38 pm

How about we appreciate that the wiki exists at all first lol. If you're waiting on an update, it might be better to express that with something like "I hope they can update this soon!" Or ask your question if you're looking for specific information.

anonymous | Posted on Jun 16, 2024 at 10:01 pm

It's a wiki, do it yourself if you know it's outdated

Grass | Posted on May 1, 2024 at 2:52 am

anonymous | Posted on Jun 9, 2024 at 2:23 pm

Nice class. Devs keep it up!

anonymous | Posted on Jun 27, 2024 at 3:17 pm

Restore does have some scaling in my testing

DanJonJr | Posted on Jul 8, 2024 at 10:51 am

Most information on this wiki that can be datamined is datamined. we can grantee that currently restore does not scale off of anything other than buff duration

anonymous | Posted on Sep 19, 2024 at 12:07 am

Does thorncoat have a cooldown like dark reflection or no??!
