Plant Druid (Leveling & Endgame)

Plant Druid is one of the easiest builds to play in PoE 2's campaign and endgame. The build uses Entangle as its primary skill from level 1 to damage and slow screens full of enemies.

• Cut Entangle with your first skill gem. Every time you get a higher skill gem, level Entangle first. Support it with Brutality I and Unleash for now.
• Cut Contagion with your second skill gem. Support with Unleash and Magnified Area I
• Cut Level 3 Gem for Fireball Switch Unleash from Contagion for bosses and support with Controlled Destruction
• Cut Living Bomb For Bosses
• After you kill the King in the Mists you receive +30 Spirit and a Level 4 Spirit Gem. Use this to cut Ravenous Swarm and support it with Corrosion and Escalating Poison.
• After you kill the Executioner you receive a Level 5 Skill Gem. Use this to cut Thunderstorm
• After you allocate Wildsurge Incantation, drop Contagion, With the mana reduction from this node you can now drop Brutality I for Zenith I
• When you get your first level 2 Support Gem, replace Unleash with Accelerated Growth on Entangle
• Use your first Level 9 Skill Gem to cut Thrashing Vines and support it with Concentrated Area and Accelerated Growth II. This is the Single target Damage for bosses!

What Does "Inevitable Critical Hits" Mean?

By taking Forced Outcome, ALL of your attacks and spells are critical hits. Your critical strike chance does not get set to 100%. Instead, when your attacks or spells would NOT have crit, the skill is rerolled with 30% Less Critical Damage Bonus. This process repeats until the ability rolls a successful crit.

You'll be rewarded for stacking as much critical strike chance and critical strike damage bonus as possible, and you can take advantage of any effects that work with critical strikes.

For example, using Gifts from Above guarantees that ALL enemies you kill die from a critical hit, granting an extra 20-30% increased item rarity at all times.

Useful Uniques

Here are a few unique items that interact very well with Oracle Druid's guaranteed critical hits from Forced Outcome.

• Nightscale
• Gifts from Above
• Seed of Cataclysm

A From Nothing jewel with "Passives in Radius of Resonance" allows you to take several powerful damage bonuses without pathing to the right side of the tree.
