DRUID specializations/branches ideas

[Diegoit]

Druids branches usually r related with Healing, Forest, Spirits, Primal
- Map style: MMORPG

Everytime you chance your branch your spells are changed, you can change your branch at your base.

I need 3 branches but i still can develope them well.

----------

1) Could i mix the Forest with Healing???? What name this branch could have????
Function: Support, healing, sprout trees thats has regeneration aura, entangle roots that works same as landmines but entangling units, cast entangle, summon thorns

2) Spiritist? Function??

3) Primal? Shapeshifter?, i already have a Shapeshifter class :-/

4) Geomancer? Uses rock-spells againts Units with high magic defense, (rock spells damage type is physical so Magic defense is useless againts Geomancers)

---

Thanks in advance

Weather for an all-rounder: Rain for healing, wind for crowd control (knockback/walls) / anti-air / support (speed aura), lightning for damage, snow and cold for anti-building/stun.

1. Caretaker / Spiritist
Specializes in healing and restoring powers of the nature and its spirits. This class of druids typically also exceed in herbal knowledge, able to conjure concoctions useful in battle.
Spell Examples: Heal, Shield, Potions

2. Brutemancer / Brutetamer
Brutemancers specialize in the brutal and wild aspect of nature - they control and command animals of the wild, utilizing the raw strength of the wolf, the bear and others. Brutemancers, when powerful enough may blur the lines between their own physical body and that of the wild.
Spell Examples: Summon Beast, Claw Strike, Control Animal, Transform

3. Geomancer / Elementalist
Elementalists mix the physical world and the spiritual powers of the nature. Able to control the elements around them, elementalists are powerful casters in battle, but always dependant on the surrounding environment and elements.
Spell Examples: Entangling Roots, Vinelash, Hurl Boulder, Whirlwind Bolt

Earthcaller:

Cast Earth (Active, Spellbook, ignores spell immunity): Throws sand (low damage, wide AoE, short-lasting Curse debuff) / mud (AoE, Slow debuff, no damage) / rock (Hurl Boulder/Storm Bolt) at the target.

Mineral Indifference (Active, AoE): Mass Anti-Magic Shell with a much shorter duration and different SFX.

Stonewall (Active): Creates a line of temporary rocks belonging to the caster between the caster and the target point (using the terrain-appropriate rock chunks doodad) with Fortified armor and renamed Spiked Barricades.

Quicksand (Passive): Slows movespeed of enemy land units (that don't use Hover movement) and damages buildings in a short radius around the caster.

Telluric Champion (Channeling): Gradually turns an area of terrain into rock in three stages (e.g. 3/5/9 tile radius every 5 seconds). If the channeling is uninterrupted, the area spawns a Granite Golem and turns the terrain to dirt. If the channeling is interrupted, spawns a Mud Golem / Rock Golem instead and turns the terrain to dirt.

Finger of the Mountain (Transformation): Turns into a Mountain Giant form with Spell Immunity, extra armor and Warclub. Increases radius of Quicksand, reduces manacost of other abilities while in this form.
