Shrinebreaker Update: Druid Fixes & Balance Changes
Summary
Magestorm Hub shares the Nov. 3 Shrinebreaker update, fixing how Druid beasts interact with shrines, arenas, orbs, and combat credit. Balance changes adjust Stampede, bring Grove to level 2, reduce the Ancient Guardian’s damage and health, and add a longer root immunity window to make fights easier to read.

Druid beasts fixed. A Druid's wolves, bears, stags and treants no longer bias pools or shrines, pick up orbs, count toward their order's size or take a place in a full arena, and they can't be mended or raised (the cast is refused before it costs anything). A beast standing in Valhalla no longer attacks, and when a beast kills someone with a bounty on them, or a goblin or monster, its Druid gets the credit.

Druid balance, round 2. From your feedback: Stampede throws enemies half as far and half as high and can't be cast again for 6 seconds; Grove comes at level 2 instead of 4 (2 spell points, the level a Warden gets Mend Other) and heals as before; the Ancient Guardian has a Druid's health (was one and a half times) and slams for 6-10 every 3 seconds (was 8-14 every 2.5); and once a Druid's root lets go, no Druid can root that target again for 6 seconds (was 4). The grove and healing effects are toned down so fights are easier to read, and Stampede's roar and the Guardian's slam are half as loud.
