Anyone else want druids?

I love playing druids in MMOs. Single class that can do it all(tank/magic and melee dmg/heal), the aesthetic, Transformations, everything. I know we already have so many classes and archetypes already, but druids are my main request.

What are the 4 Ranger augment Schools you are expecting, @rikardp98 ??

Shapechange does not have to be Wolf or Bear or Cat - Ashes has plenty of its own fantasy forms to choose from, like Grave Beast or Scalerunner or Glimmering Geode. I don't expect Ashes to have a class with Shapechange, though.

To be perfectly honest... I don't know. Ranger is the only ranged melee archetype so will probably within that, nothing nature Magic based.

When I first found ashes I wanted to play cleric/range to get that druid feeling I like. I will still probably play it, but from what I have seen, secondary archetypes won't have big impacts on the overall class so I'm not sure.

LMAO
You haven't seen Secondary Archetypes or augments in action.

I'm expecting Ranger to have a Nature Magic augment School.
Just as I'm expecting Rogue to have a Shadow Magic augment School.
We shall see what truly happens...

I asked this same question in a twitch stream last Sunday. I don't want another wow clone druid for sure, but after looking at the classes/archetypes I think we will have one, it's just spread out across classes instead of just one main Druid archetype.
IF we were to have a druid archetype I would want one who was mainly a nature driven spell caster with some very light heals. I.e. spells like thorn blast, wall of thorns, summon swarms, call lightning, summon weather, thunder clap, pass unseen, entangling vines, the only shape changing thing I would even consider is a meld type spell where you could meld with the forest. With the weather spells, something pretty massive, not some 5x5 stinking little dark cloud above someone's head. Not that I don't like the shape changing thing in wow, I would just avoid anything remotely close to it and push strongly for something new and refreshing to play.

I can see druidism being added as an expansion for an exclusively secondary archetype. Tank-Druids morphing into bears, Fighter-Druids shifting into a wolf form, that sort of thing. I don't know how that would work for most classes nor as a primary archetype though, mostly just spitballing.

There cannot be an exclusive Secondary Archetype named Druid.

Shapeshifting could an exclusive augment School. Seems unlikely.

That's not a terrible idea having it as a 9th archetype added sometime later. I could see that being entertaining
