With the patch notes out, are druids still viable? I am thinking of rolling a druid for S1 but I am completely new to the class.

Honestly druid was great not sure about now. Nerf is pretty damn solid if you ask me. Best bet for S1 will be Rogue or Necro maybe Barb

Which part of the nerf hit the hardest? I know there are many dudu variants. Are they all hit? Is there a play around or is it the core mechanic that got hit?
Sorry about the noon questions.

They are still viable at least to NM dungeon 60. The nerf to grizzly rage (most op druid skill) wasn’t too bad, but the cooldown nerf was. That will shake up end game druid builds for sure. No more spamming unlimited nados with reduced spirit cost and unstoppable. Maybe trampleslide or lightning will be top tier? I didn’t see a nerf to bulwark in the notes, but I expect it is nerfed.

SS DR is down to 15% . Grizzly ult is basically 6s unstoppable now which is huge nerf and the cherry on top is maso require 75 % Lucky hit now. Overall nerf are pretty much affecting our defensive capability but the fact they nerfed CDR % make certain build weaker and probably not as viable.

Trample slide druid will be viable for a while until you find the unique you need

After the nerfs, Pulv Druid still is good relative to the nerfs for everyone.
