Druids are really terrible.

I'm actually amazed at the build variety that is possible with druid. Like with Oracle you can build pretty much anything but you start in the top left of the skill tree.
If you find something clunky you don't have to do that. You could do something else. There are plenty of options. |

I was feeling this way, started having alot of issues after act 3 was enjoying everything having alot of fun
Its as simple as thinking outside the box, even inside the box, trying out multiple different things, I respecced a good 3-4 times and made major changes, and now im stomping through act 4 about to move on to interlude acts, you gotta dedicate time and really think, if that style of gameplay isnt for you, try out poe1 |

" Ah, attack based swapping. I was trying to get things like Fire Storm, Lightning Storm and similar then jump into animal form, go ham and return but the Infusion system is a hindrance. I tried to settle for non-infusion spells but it just has too much friction. There's very counter intuitive nodes for druid like "Gain Arcane Surge after being in animal form for 8s" while the other few that support attack/spell interactions are all "Recently" aka 4 seconds. "Never trust floating women." -Officer Kirac

I've found Druid the easiest campaign experience I have had so far(in Act 3 so far as Druid) and the only class I haven't got to endgame is Ranger.
It's been fun too. | |

I get the frustration, honestly. I have been running Druid since early access too and the clunkiness is real, especially with form swapping and animation lock early on. It feels like you are constantly fighting the character instead of the monsters.
That said, I do think some of the pain comes from tuning rather than the core idea. Once I invested heavily into cast speed and reduced form cooldowns, it started to feel playable, but that is a big ask compared to other classes that feel smooth much earlier. The power spike also feels way later than it should. I would not say the concept is bad, but right now the execution needs work. If GGG wants this to be a complex class, it still has to feel rewarding and responsive. Hopefully the feedback lands, because in its current state it is hard to recommend over almost anything else.
