how are yall building druids in terms of splitting companion/magics/animalman? Been focusing on Claw/Shred/Rabies for now having swapped out Lightning Storm for Rabies. I had the totem shield thing for a bit but decided "3 second shield is worthless, I can just build Fortify." So the other 3 skills I've been using are wolves/bear roar/boulder. Boulder is surprisingly good as a gently caress-off button to clear paths.

it feels like lists I've seen prioritize the nature magic over other things, which is funny considering shapeshifter/pets was the way to go for D2.

I kept bouncing around builds while leveling eventually settling on a Nature's Fury one. The legendaries are so ridiculously important that I went from needing to drop to WT1 for some bosses in the story to feeling comically overpowered in Nightmare content. Trample landslides and double landslides are just silly and the screen just fills with random tornadoes and lightning strikes. I've got Earthen Bulwark with the +6 s duration and earth crits build potency aspects and use poison creeper so I always have a dozen terramotes for landslides.

I figure S1 I'll try a wolf or bear build, I've got a ton of aspects for them, but just seems silly to switch off what I've got right now.

Considering how soon s1 is supposed to release they better have a pretty solid plan of what it's going to look like.

In some pre-launch interview they said development is finished on S1 and they're working on S2 along with planning 2 expansions

they better have a plan if the season is done and launching in 3 weeks

Nightmare dungeons will have xp rewards adjusted up. And they want to remove the travel time by letting sigils teleport you to the dungeon. And they want to do this before season 1.

I love the sigil tp suggestion. Didn't realize how annoyed I was with travel time before this.

At this point you should wait and see what they reveal about the Season 1 battle pass and decide if you want it. That's the main draw of it now that early access isn't a thing anymore.
