It feels kinda janky to me, anyone else feel the same?

I have to spam 5 abilities, a couple of which are on CD (volcano being the most impactful one) and the clearspeed.... it's supposed to be S-tier but it feels substantially slower than most builds meant for density clearing (warlocks excluded, they're in a separate tier altogether).

My gear:

flickering flame antlers in a +3 armageddon helm
hoto
spirit
arach
fcr ring
soj
maras
aldurs boots
fully geared inv with ele skillers

im at the 99 fcr BP and pretty geared, but the playstyle and damage just feel like shit.

Definitely not S tier lol. No druid build can be S tier in pvm.. but your gear is seriously lacking.

ravenlore with new fire jewel
6x rbf weapon
eni
phoenix
magefist
arach
any boots
2/18+ or 2/8+ amu
fcr ring + soj or 2 fcr rings

infy merc with flickering flame and coh/skin of the flayed one

spam volcano fissure armageddon and fire storm

oh ya forgot to mention that i have enig, and infi merc

i agree it's nowhere near S-tier, plus i think it's the janky skill rotation that feels clunkiest about the playstyle, especially trying to account for volcano's CD and maximizing its uptime

I am using this except I go 3/10 amulet and opelvein+sling and can clear P8 + tier 5 heralds easily. Everyone mostly drops by telestomping armageddon, but yes, volcano+fissure helps a lot to cheese dnagerous packs. Firestorm while tanking heralds in your aoe. as you said, not S tier, but very good for playstyle/damage.

It is crap. You spam like 6 skills constantly and it's a slow killer still

I mean it’s still better than any barb necro or pally build. People just don’t like pressing buttons.

I disagree with people calling it crap, but it's not S tier. Low A tier would be a fair rating. It can be down to a C tier if the person controlling sucks or has no idea how to play though. But in someone who knows how to play the game I'd say it's somewhere in the A tier, but not on same level as echolock, mosaic, nova, hdin, javazon which would be S tier builds.

I’d say better than hdin too. Maybe not at heralds? Don’t know I haven’t bothered playing since first couple days reset
