PHENOMENON POINTS

Phenomenon points are stored natural energy that a druid accumulates over time. She can use these points to create Wonders or Calamities. Calamities can cause great devastation to an opponent while Wonders can be of great aid to a group. With Wonders and Calamities the Druid has the ability to quickly turn the tide of a battle that a group might otherwise lose. 

Phenomenon points regenerate at one point per minute. These powers are designed to be special and far greater in power than normal spells. Examples of Druid Wonders and Calamities are Earthquake and Lifestream.

PETS

Druids can summon temporary elemental pets to aid them. These pets cannot be controlled and are more like a visual DoT than a pet. The pet will fight for the druid until the druid dies or if it is not engaged in combat for longer than 10 seconds. At high levels Druids gain access to longer lasting pets that can be controlled.

COUNTERSPELLS

Druids, like other arcane damage classes, have counterspells that will be able to nullify enemy caster spells. The counterspell could either completely nullify the spell or change the enemy spell into something beneficial to her group. For example, his level 30 counterspell, Healing Turn, may turn a damage spell into health for himself or his defensive target.

WEAKNESSES

A weakness is a player created vulnerability in your enemy that remains for a short period of time. Some weaknesses can be exploited by using certain skills. When one exploits a weakness the attack used becomes more powerful and may add more than additional damage but may debuff the enemy or buff you or your party. For more information on weaknesses please take a look at Ten Ton Hammer’s Weakness FAQ and chart.

CHANGING THE WEATHER

One of the most interesting features of Druids was Sigil’s plan that Druids would be able to control the weather.The plan was that some spells would be affected by the weather. Fire spells may do less damage in the rain while Lightening spells may do more damage. It has been mentioned that Vanguard will have dynamic weather patterns and Druids will be able to change the weather. Dynamic weather is slowly making its way into the game but it is unknown if these type Druid abilities are still in Sigil’s plans. One can only hope.

TYPES OF SPELLS

While the Druid has many useful utility spells, his main role is that of a damage dealer.  Druids have powerful Direct Damage (DD) spells and Damage over Time spells (DoTs). Their Calamities do extraordinary damage but can only be used on a limited basis

Druids also can create berries for themselves and their group mates.The berries can be eaten to restore health or cure poison.
