Throw barb is also very strong
But anything with tavern brawler is because tavern brawler is just a liiiiittle bit op
Iām just sad every D&D variation (pathfinder etc) makes Druids have dumb cosmic spells for their max level spells.
Solar Storm, Ice Storm, whatever, canāt I just kill people with vines man. 
At the very least BG3 added Grasping Vine and Thorn Whip (and Shillelagh), so thatās why itās the best cRPG game for meā¦

Yeah āweatherā is just as valid a spell theme for nature magic as āplantsā.

my dude weather is not cosmic its NATURE. this isnt balance druid or circle of stars. your throwing photosynthesis and condensed hardened water at people.

yeah thatās a weird take. creating a weather effect is definitely within the druid archetype. solar storm could arguably be cosmic though
i feel like itās a specific wow issue and not one that D&D has, itās why I hate playing druid in wow vs playing one in D&D because i just donāt get the same class fantasy

i think people forget that druid used to have a spell called bloody āHURRICANE.ā a straight up wind and lightning storm in wow.
typhoon. cyclone. solar beam is just a beam of sunlight. that isnt even particularly cosmic. theyve had weather spells in their repetoire in wow for years. is it such a stretch to imagine dnd druids doing the same?

I bought, played, and completed Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog yesterday. Nice little visual sci-fi/mecha novel with a very retro 90s aesthetic and vibe to it. It took me about four hours to get through start to finish, and though I saw some opportunity for minor branching paths and maybe two endings depending on one final decision, I didnāt really feel the need to go back and make sure I saw everything.
So you can imagine my surprise and confusion when I briefly checked the (almost all positive) reviews and saw some people with like 30 hours on it.
Maybe they just left it idling or something. Very weird otherwise.
Are you sure you arenāt a Tangela?
Also just run a thorns + forced movement build
that one works in BG3 and pokemon so youāre good either way
itās a wow issue that made me sensitive towards anything else too
i want my druids to do plants, not control every element in the world like SHAMANS or MAGES.
riddle me this, if ice storm was a druid spell, why can wizards cast it??
I wish there was a Hurricane spell in D&D.
Anyway, all Iām asking for is a plant-based level 9 spell that isnāt just some weird mobility thing like Entangle was tyvm.
me interpretation is that wizards reach the same effect through a different means, where the druid literally controls the weather system, the wizard conjures the ice from the arcane to achieve the same or similar outcome
the latter likely copying the former
Wow having a separate āShaman = nature (elements)ā class is a fairly distinct element of it and mages being specifically elementally themed is while more common than the Shaman theming still not universal.
DnD arcane magic tends to be a lot less specifically elemental and a lot more ābreak physics by memorising long wordsā - the DnD Druid is THE nature magic class and that includes the weather theme, the animals theme and the plant theme.
my interpretation is that wizards are nerds.
so whereās my plant storm spell
this is correct

thereās a load of āmake plants appear in an area and also make the plants hurt people spellsā in the druid spell list

my bg3 run ended up with me just being a shapeshift druid because it felt more satisfying to just be an owl bear all day long mauling people to death
might try circle of stars though and go full caster next time
I doubt BG3 supports it very well but I feel like a bug-wizard druid would be a fun take on it.
My magic power is: āmillions of angry ticksā
