I think you did an amazing job but there's still something you missed, or decided it wasn't worth talking about. Elixirs, all of them work in wildshape. Elixer of cloud giant strength gives you 27 STR, easy to obtain in act 3 with coin. Elixer of bloodlust to get an extra action after killing an enemy. Elixir of the colossus to make the owlbear belly flop deal crazy damage. Elixir of Peerless focus, immunity to sleep, advantage on concentration checks and the charmed condition. A lot of good choices.

Great vid, must have taken so much work and time, just want to say thanks, and how much that is appreciated. As usual with your BG (and Elden Ring) instructionals, the detail and quality is superb. You have really improved my enjoyment of both these great games. Thanks mate!👍🏻

I like watching your guides, cleanest I've ever seen and you manage to keep them entertaining! Thanks

I love your content man. A true content creator of high quality. It's rare that I sub and actually follow someone anywhere. Keep up the good work!

Perfect timing Was about to look for a Druid build for my next play trough and was sad Nizar had no Druid build. But the X-Mas Miracle is real 😂😊

Thank you for this lovely guide. I was starting to get lost and burn out in my honor run because i accidently killed Halsin going to Mt. Pass early ( I didn't realize it would kill him since I was trying new strats in Honor Mode) trying to find some way to reignite my fire for the run I'm gonna try to reclass Shadowheart or Jaheria into this build. Seriously was lovely to watch your guide and videos.

One of the most interesting and fun builds, plus it's original. Very well done. Much respect.

Great job on this it was a lot of fun to watch

Thank you i appreciate all the effort you put into this video. Starting my moon druid, druegar, good dark urge now :)

these build guides are so good, going to try a for honour playthrough soon and am 100% using some of these

A really fun build, currently level 5 and loving it. I love this build because it isn't reliant on any items.

Awesome video, just reminding that Owlbear Rage Fear component ALSO affects allies, got all three running away from me and it took me 5 seconds to know why lol

The best druid moon guide! Honestly i use wizard instead of sorcerer cause i want to learn some powerful spells. Like haste (6 attacks per turn😮 at lvl 11 ) and fire shield, furthermore i use warlock for the armour of agathys and one additional warlock spell + mortal reminder. I also recommend the use of potion for the moon druids . For extra feats.

This video is absolutely WILD! Cool stuff, thx!

What a masterpiece of content, havent seen such a high quality YT content for a while, instant subscribe here

27:30 Take the +1 to strength from Tavern Brawler to even out strength scores of the wild shapes. The bread and butter shapes all have an odd strength score and it synergies with itself because the +1 from evening the score is mechanically a +2 to hit and damage from the feat. Shapes that benefit from +1 strength from Tavern Brawler: - Bear 19str - Wolf 17str - Dilophosaurus 19str - Fire Myrmidon 13str Then take Resilient: Constitution to even out all the oddly numbered con modifiers the shapes have because extra HP is always good. Shapes that benefit from +1 constitution from Resilient: Constitution: - Badger 15con - Wolf 15con - Owlbear 17con - Dilophosaurus 17con - Earth Myrmidon 17con - Fire Myrmidon 15con The major benefit to this is consitution saving throws are very beneficial for a druid. You're the one class that is the most inconvenienced by concentration breaking, because you need to un-wild shape yourself before expending another spell slot to recast; which is too much resource expenditure and wasted action economy 99% of the time. Proficency bonus is all you'll get as a wild shaped druid to help with your concentration without multi-classing or outside help. The +1 to dexterity from the video's recommended Resilient: Dexterity isn't useful in initiative rolls unless you're starting the fight already in your wild shape; which is common but not always the situation, especially if you're set up to cast your concentration spell and bonus action shape turn 1. Human form is preferred to enter combat because of how versitile your turn 1 can be; you can cast then shape, or shape then attack, all options are on the table. The +1 dex is pretty terrible as an attack stat bump. The only shape that benefits from it is the panther. Every other shape that has a odd dex stat uses their strength to attack. The dexterity saving throw profiency is debatable because most AoE spells that target dexterity are lingering effects that make you check multiple times anyways, you might roll through 1-2 checks but falling prone will always be the bane of melee builds, especially without advantage and medium dexterity of ~14-16. TL;DR. If you're min/maxing, take Tavern Brawler with +1 Strength and Resilient: Constitution. Those attribute +1s are going to more impactful and synergistic as well as profiency towards keeping concentration on your spells instead of a mid-stat like dex for your wildshapes and prone/hold saves.

This is incorrect information. The +1 strength or con from tavern brawler do not effect wildshapes.

And the best build EVER award goes to...., Nizar GG! Maybe I'm biased because I love Druids, but this build has it ALL!

So finally got around buying Baldur's Gate III and I really wanted to play Wildshape Druid. Your guide is absolutely perfect and will be incredibly useful in the long run. Must've taken forever to make and I really appreciate the hard work. Thanks so much.

I like this, never thought to dip into draconic sorcerer for the built in mage armour. I think the only thing I'd change is I'd use the Gloves of Dexterity on my main character so that you can put more ability points into charisma for dialogue.

I knew it's just a matter of time, someone will discover how good moon druids are now even in honor mode. playing right now a 4 moon druid party in honor mode, it's just plain fun playthrough, again fun not OP. level 7 ad still haing fun. great vid by the way, players try it and see for yourself how moon good druids are, by the way don't stick to one animal, use one depending on what enemies you will be facing or play 4 different animals and your set to go.

Love the video. Though I do find it kinda funny Shillelagh always trips people up in like, every single video I see where someone mentions it lol. Depending on your dialect it's either (Shuh - lay - lee) or (Shuh - lay - luh) it's an old walking stick / cudgel. Gotta love the Celts with their pronunciation of words xD. Watching Irish pronunciation trip people up always makes me smile a bit, cause it's such a confusing spelling for a majority of their words.

Shu-lay-lee. Shillelagh. Thank you. Excellent video. Thank you again.

another awesome video, thank you.

17:57 Webs are flammable too. So wild shape into a spider and spam your bonus action webbings if you want to make the entire battlefield engulfed in fire. It isn't as strong as just having non-ignited webs enwebbing enemies, but if you want the party freedom of not having the battlefield covered in webs but still want to do minor fire damage to everything it's a fun synergy. Throw in a barrel or two, enweb the area, then summon the sphere on the webs fair enough away that it isn't in the blast radius. The webs are now a fuse extender so you don't martyrdom your flaming sphere during cheesy barrelmancy. It's also plain old good for extending the AoE flame effect of door blocking flaming sphere strategies.

it was about time you did a druid build!!

you are really making great BG3 content. thank you

Keep up this content I'm addicted rn

Cant wait to try this.

Extremely well edited

Great video thank you

Shillelagh is pronounced "She-Lay-Lee" It's an Irish fighting stick. - A top-heavy hardwood stick, like a walking stick with a larger head. They were replaced by the sword-cane for a few decades until they were banned in Britain & Ireland. My great-grandfather had both. And my mom inherited the two. The sword cane is a deadly sharp four-sided solid rapier, like the German rapiers. (Google German fencing, it's hard to watch. Two men strike each other without face protection until one gives up. Scars were a sign of bravery, that's why Nazi generals and lutenients were always given them in movies)

Loved the video, please suggest synergising team composition for this.

I love the oak leaf emblem, as it is the insignia of my company in the army. Very similar to the one shown on 0:11 but with green background and golden border.

Thanks for this man was struggling in what to multiclsss love Druid so much honestly but wasn’t sure what would benefit me because I do love to heal and I love turning into a saber tooth or a raven keep up the guides imma be looking out especially more Druid content Ps Hope I get to use my end game build and there is more content

I keep the woodland beings summoned creature near my death slinger and use enraged throw to throw it at enemies, it does pretty decent damage too, especially for a bonus action

Holy shit this build is Amazing! I just hit level 6 on my Moon Druid and I cannot wait to implement all of this! Great content man!

I personally prefer Resilient Constitution, because the Owlbear and Earth myrmidon witch i want to use regularly and Dilophosaurus for some Armor shredding all have 17 in Constitution and will benefit from it, as well as the untransformed form.

im gonna have to try this build in my honour run sometime i hope to see a spore druid guide as well sometime because it is one of my favourite subclasses and a bonus tip for spore druid Torches work really well with SD as if you have 16 wisdom at level 2 you can make them do 6-21 damage when combo'd with shillelagh and symbiotic entity What also works well are quarterstaves such as the Staff of Cherished Necromancy, (probably the best one) Mourning frost, Hollows staff, Cacophony (which has thunderous smite which is nice) and if you get the dual wielder feat you can use multiple at the same time or use other weapons such as the Club of hill giant strength for extra strength for example

Loved the guide and all the information. Only thing I would have loved is when explaining the gear section to mention what would be good options in each act. Most of the gear in this guide is from Act 3. Also as you mentioned a lot of gear doesn't work in wild shape form so it feels like my druid wouldn't get gear that can be used until Act 3.

My last Tactician playthrough was as a Moon Druid Tav and your observation is correct. Most of your damage comes from Wild Shape, so that's what you will be using most of the time, except for some concentration spells you may want to pop for CC or buffs before entering Wild Shape. Most gear doesn't benefit you in Wild Shape, so in Acts 1 & 2 it's better to let the rest of your party have the best gear. If there's something left, you are looking mostly for gear that give survivability or utility before you enter wild shape or after you lose it. Effects like + initiative, + armor class, + saving throws, or maybe some spells you want to use before wild shape.

owlbear looks so cute that, even if it wasn't awesome, I'd still probably do a playthrough around it :)

Damn, that’s exactly what I was needing to make me respect my dwarf fighter to Druid and focus more on damage instead of supporting as most of the Druid’s. Like this I can keep shadow heart as a cleric tank, the ranged rogue/assassin and wizard. Cause I tend to make a no magic party on every game of the sort. So it’ll be the the first time since D&D board games that I make a character that isn’t a rogue or a fighter damage dealers, your Druid seems to have enough damage not to be considered a support. Amazing

amazing moon druid build guide

@NizarGG please please consider a dagger assassin, can't wait to play through as one and I'm waiting for your take on it!!

These videos are whole movie productions.

With the weapon proficiencies from the cleric, it looks like they only benefit the Air and Water Myrmidon forms (Earth Myrmidons are unarmed while Fire Myrmidons wield a scimitar, a weapon that druids are already proficient with). Minor detail but thought it worth pointing out. Flails and Tridents (which the Air and Fire ones use, respectively) aren’t in the Druid’s proficiencies so you do need some sort of multiclass in order to use them well.

Hi my friend. I love your build! I have a question for you. Why doesn't the War Priest Charges work when I'm shapeshifter? Thanks for all !!!! Please I need know my error !!!

Also make sure you go half-illithid so you can wildshape, and gain a lot of other abilities (plus get the cool aesthetic)

Hold person or Hold Monster up cast can potentially lock in 5 NPC for auto melee crit in shapeshifting and other melee party members.

Thanks for great guide bro! Love u content. please tell me about the +1 from auntie for this druid

What's a good party composition for this build? I'm using this Amy main character and love it but since it's so versatile having a hard time deciding on who to bring for rest of party mind you I oref to keep party members with their original class as not to break rp immersion

Me and my friend are playing Honour mode and we're having good luck (made it through Act 1 with only 2 sketchy situations we got through!) with this team: Lore Bard and 1 level Life Cleric. Heavy/medium armor, shields, wielding 2 hand crossbows. Focusing on Warden of Vitality + Life Cleric, or control. Assassin Rogue 4 + Gloomstalker 3, emphasizing getting sneak attack rounds and killing tough enemies before the combat even starts. Battlemaster Fighter, Great Weapon master. Focusing on high damage and decent survivability. Finally, Moon druid. DPS, out of combat healing, big HP sponge, some spell DPS as well. The two tough fights were at the Creche, the room with the doctor (the Rogue ended up using a Invisibility potion to sneak away bevause everyone else was just dead) and the big room full of people (one of the random Gith got a Crown of Madness off on the bard who used Shatter and the Blood of Lathandar to horrific effect and nearly wiped us all). We waited until Level 5 to do any of the "boss" encounters in Act 1 (Spiders, Ethel, Owlbears, etc.) and I probably do recommend that. Way safer.
