Druid equipment

Equipment Overview
Druid gear is completely based on your build.

If you are melee you want to focus on your melee stats and seeker item is also very important as in in your wild shape forms you do x3 damage. Prioritize the stats in this order, Str, Con, Wis, Dex. A few secondary things you should look for are, seeker, body feeder, on crit damage weapons such as flaming burst and acid blast and last of all vampiric effect as wolf form gains a bonus to attack speed which can allow you to gain a lot of life back very quickly.

If you are caster based you want to focus on Wis, Con, and spell damage(spell power, and spell crit). Mainly fire or ice as that is mainly what druids use. A few secondary things are, SP items, UMD items, and in some cases high AC armor if you have high Dex. Always max out SP and Wis.

For both caster and melee the Wrath of Sora Kell set works very nicely.

 * Pre-generated in the inventory of the Marketplace armor broker (unbound)

You can also obtain old versions of armors or wooden tower shields by visiting vendors such as the ones in Hammer and Chain in Stormreach Harbor. These vendor-purchased armors and shields can be disjuncted and used in Cannith Crafting - For example, to obtain a larger PRR/MRR bonus with shields, you can disjunct a wooden tower shield and then craft it. Note however, these are older types of armors and they have inferior armor bonuses and maximum dexterity limits.
