Druids Are AMAZING: A 5e D&D Druid Guide - Levels 1-5

Many have asked me in previous videos why I love Druid so much. Well here is the answer. I'm taking you through Druid levels 1 -5 and explain in detail why I love this class so damn much.

Sorry for the delay in uploads. This video ballooned in length and the script kept getting longer and longer. Finally I had to just publish the video.

SPELLS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE WISDOM:
Guidance
Druidcraft
Mold Earth
Detect Magic
Goodberry
Healing Word
Speak with Animals
Barkskin
Enhance Ability
Healing Spirit
Heat Metal
Lesser Restoration
Locate Animals or Plants
Locate Object
Pass without Trace
Spike Growth
Conjure Animals
Dispel Magic
Meld into Stone
Plant Growth
Protection from Energy
Speak with Plants
Water Walk

COMBAT TIPS
1. Stay in the Midline
2. Worry about Frontline and Midline enemies. Your backline and strikers should be dealing with the enemy backline
3. Heal unconscious allies and don't try preventative healing. You're just as effective at 1 hit point as at 100 hit points

Druid is my favorite class so obviously this video is going to be biased. These are the tips are give to all the new Druid players. If you play the class and like it, tell me what you think in the comments below!

As a Druid, I casted Spike Growth behind a mob of ennemies in a corridor. My Cleric then Casted Gust of Wind. The cumulative damage was quite nice haha…

Here go my little contribution as a Druid player:
-Scorpions can stay days without breathing and a full year without eating.
-Spider are insane on infiltration. So if u are by yourself P.W.Trace + shape into a spider and if u have a friend that can make u invisible, go G.W.Spider with P.W.Trace means a +17 on stealth.
And remeber, spiders can freely move on walls or upsidedown.
-As a druid u can ""fly"" at level 3, its expensive, but you can: Use the summon beast spell for a flying creature, then turn into a small creature and climb into it or ask the bird to "keep u at its beak".

I S2 Druids!

We once had to take care of a baby, it needed milk, every druid has seen a cow (cr 1/4 beast) before. And that's how the druid got milked.

I love the load-out tactic! it's one of the most useful pieces of advice for prepared spell lists I've heard to date

[tribaltalker]

I used to think that the 5e Druid was underwhelming but now I realise it is powerful but complex to run well. A skilled player can make this class shine.

This has been my favorite Druid video. Great content.

One suggestion, the music sounds pretty loud and your voice is quiet. I think if you raise the volume of your voice and lower the volume of the music, it will be more accessible.

As a druid, speak with animals and plants is amazing! I was able to speak with trees in a cursed forest that could tell me which trees were cursed, and I was able to speak with giant moles that helped me find my way out of a tunnel. These spells have endless possibilities and are really slept on

Important note: Any time you want to use wildshape to turn into a creature that doesn't have a stat block, it's up to your GM to make one and determine what it can and can't do. If you are planning on trying to do something tricky, you should absolutely check with your GM first to see what they think of your idea. Also, despite having proficiency in medium armor, you can't actually use a breastplate as they only come in metal. That said, trying to find something that's not metal but sufficiently durable to have one crafted from can make a nice campaign side objective.

As a person with problems understanding and learning, this was the best video I have found so far about dnd. You explained everything very well and helped with my understanding of what can actually be done as a druid. You are going on the top of my list of content creators. Thank you

Our party recently figured out some great synergy with Water Walk, Sleet Storm, and Blind Fighting fighting style.

Water Walk allows our paladin to move through the Sleet Storm without facing difficult terrain, and no falling prone.

He has blindfighting, so all his attacks in the storm are made with advantage (he can see his enemy, they can't see him).

He saves his spell slots for smites, so he doesn't have to worry about the concentration check.

This combo completely shuts down ground-based caster enemies -- heavy obscurity and a concentration check against your spell save DC is soooo underappreciated!

[Randomdudefromtheinternet]

Fun fact: Squirrels are the most common reason for blackouts, it was a single squirrel who caused a city-wide blackout in New York, now imagine that focused in espionage and sabotage.

And DMs reward creativity, I used a moon druid once, turned into a giant spider, if we needed to cross a big obstacle, the ranger will tie some of the silk so I could tight rope and build a bridge, make a platform above a whole camp, really fun stuff.

[WitherBossEntity]

For cantrips, also consider Magic Stone instead of Produce Flame. It has double the range (or quadruple if you have a sling and attack with disadvantage), the damage is higher (1d8 vs wis mod + 1d6) bevore first level, combining it with the crusher feat is fun (push an enemy through Spike Growth or into another AoE, push them off a bridge at range... remember, you can push them in an arbitrary direction, not just away from you. Also, it's a half-feat that gives con) and if you've got any NPCs following you that want to fight but are untrained/too squishy for melee, or maybe you have a gang of skeletons (Circle of Spores gets Anime Dead), you can hand the stones out to them and still have your main action free.

This is an amazing video! I can’t believe Druid is the least played! I have a great idea about a dwarf Druid character I want to play that found a calling in nature and helps is mountain-home people with his skills.
He saved his home from an orc army by warning them in time before it arrived.

[stephanshaw]

My first character isva level 3 druid, I chose it cause I've always loved druids in history & mythology. I've been struggling with him a bit, I was told they are very versatile & stuff, but this is the first time I found something that actually helps me with the class, I'm playing a Spores druid & I'm very much into the whole one with nature, & death, so speak with animals, healing word & healing spirit I always have prepared it's good to know I madevthe right call there, druids will stay my favorite cause of the control spells😅 but Thanks for the guide & I can't wait to see more,

[dasaf.]

Hey just a suggestion, for volume mixing the music could be quieter to make hearing the narration much easier. Great video, thanks :)

[TristanChicklowski]

best class video i have seen. So excited as i'm going to run a 2 person campaign for my daughter and her friend. She's going Circle of Shepherd, to call animals and fey, and her friend is going Circle of moon, to become animals and dinosaurs! And with this video, they will really know how to think about the growth of the druids! thanks!

[oliverneville]

Excellent video on a criminally underrated class!

[undeadbunny]

I play for 12 years 3.5... and I always pick druid, I am now playing 5.0 and I still play a Kalasthar druid circle of dreams, it is my favorite class and always will be.

[Ciastekboi]

Druid is jack of all trades if I ever saw one in 5e. Good video my guy
