I don't think I'd invest that piggy bank you've got into a bear druid as your first pvper- but as a for fun character once everything's cheaper and you have other options? Sure bro- you can probably make some shenanigans work in a public game.

i've been wanting to make a summoner druid that uses shockwave. I have the character sitting there and ready for the day it happens- BearLord



Yea that’s another thing I was thinking about. Cuz Summon tg was fun sometimes. But couldn’t leave town. So is that like a summoner that can step out?

So they removed wsg which let people pretty easily escape shockwave spam. Like, shockwave is still good don't get me wrong, but in the past keeping someone STUCK long enough for a literal bear to walk over and kill you was kind of iffy unless the guy just installed diablo. Shockwave was more to put swirls on their head to make stomping them yourself a lot easier, or to facilitate teamplay, or to use with something like volcano. idk it was a bit janky but anyways. The only options for summoners were townguarding, or trying to telestomp onto people and let the bear kill them which was kind of sketchy but funny if it worked.

Now, I'm not trying to say "BEAR AM NEW META" because there's not really enough testing of them yet, but just looking at it and theorycrafting- in all honesty hitting people with shockwave compared to mindblast or leap is kind of sketchy, but it is way more viable now than on D2L for sure.

Soo.. is it your new spec that you're going to try and have serious private duels and team fights with? No, probably not. Idk maybe someone will prove me wrong.. but for pub games against boomers that played D2 15 years ago for 3 months and reinstalled? yeah dude that bear will tear them up.
