HK41251's Notes
I pushed the Crossbow Oracle Druid deep into maps in PoE 2 SSF - and it just couldn't survive red maps. In this video, I break down why Oracle failed, why I respecced into Shaman, and how the build instantly became tankier and more consistent.
I explain the defensive issues with Oracle, why unlucky hits don't feel strong enough in PoE 2's current meta, and how Shaman's Adaptation completely change survivability. I also go over skills, gear priorities, passive tree choices, and how I'm progressing through Tier 15 maps in SSF.
If you're playing Crossbow Druid, considering Oracle, or struggling with survivability in PoE 2 endgame, this guide should help you decide whether Shaman is the better option.
