Wild Forces Unleashed: The Impact of 'Last Druid'

EZNPC - New Year's special offer: 15% off. The Last Druid DLC promises to expand Path of Exile 2 with wild, nature-based abilities and revolutionary new mechanics. Here are 10 skills that could reshape how players approach combat, from powerful transformations to game-changing summoner mechanics.

1. Feral Vigor

Feral Vigor might be an offensive and defensive skill that increases the player's damage output based on their current health. The lower the player's health, the more powerful the skill becomes, encouraging players to balance their risks while remaining aggressive.

2. Thorn Barrage

Thorn Barrage could launch a rain of thorns across the battlefield, piercing enemies and leaving lingering poison damage. This could be an excellent skill for high DPS builds, enabling a mix of ranged attack and area-of-effect poison damage.

3. Call of the Beasts

An ultimate summoning skill, Call of the Beasts could unleash a full menagerie of wild creatures to fight by your side. This would completely transform how summoner builds function, adding multiple creatures that follow the player and adapt to the battlefield.

4. Tree's Embrace

Tree’s Embrace could be a defensive ability that turns the player into an ancient, living tree, granting huge damage reduction and healing over time. However, during this form, the player could only perform limited actions, forcing players to think strategically about when to use it.

5. Raging Wilds

This powerful skill could create a massive storm of wild magic that strikes enemies with lightning, fire, and earth damage. It would deal massive damage over a large area and could change the way players approach crowd control in difficult zones.

6. Searing Roots

Searing Roots would act as both a control and offense skill, planting roots that burn enemies over time while immobilizing them. This skill would offer a way to corner enemies, forcing them into your traps.

7. Nature’s Refuge

Nature’s Refuge might allow players to temporarily call upon the healing powers of the forest, creating a zone where allies are healed, and enemy resistances are reduced. This could be an excellent choice for cooperative play, offering strategic healing support.

8. Savage Rebirth

Savage Rebirth could be a life-saving skill, reviving the player upon death with a burst of power, dealing damage to nearby enemies and restoring the player’s health. This skill would add a safety net for aggressive, high-risk builds.

9. Eagle’s Flight

A mobility skill, Eagle’s Flight could allow players to soar into the air for a short period, avoiding ground-based attacks while raining arrows or magic down onto enemies. It would add a layer of aerial combat, making certain encounters easier or more dynamic.

10. Vine Lash

Vine Lash could lash out at enemies from a distance, stunning them and causing poison or chaos damage. It would be an excellent tool for crowd control, especially in high-density maps.

The Last Druid DLC will likely take Path of Exile 2 to new heights, pushing the boundaries of what players expect from the game. With these new mechanics, players will be able to develop creative builds, take on challenging new content, and explore the wilds like never before.
