The Druid is all set to be the latest class to be added to Path of Exile 2, and it could become the strongest choice, all thanks to its abilities.
The Druid is pretty unique in terms of how the class works compared to other options in the game. The class has four shapeshift forms, 21 skills, and two Ascendancies (Shaman and Oracle). If you’re like me and looking to try the class as soon as the update goes live, this guide is going to help you master the different abilities.
The Druid class abilities can be separated into four categories: Bear, Wolf, Wyvern, and Human.
