Druid Skills: Summoning
Much like the Necromancer, the Druid will be able to summon a variety of minions to aid him. These will come in the form and nature's creations, such as the Grizzly Bear. In addition a Druid may summon hovering spirits that grant a specific aura to him and his minions. This skill tree is split roughly into three branches, animal summoning, plant summoning and spirit summoning.

Plague Poppy: Required Skills: None Required Level: 1 One of the first summoning skills, the Plague Poppy is an interesting monster that travels underground, revealing itself when enemies come near. It attacks by planting poisonous vines at the feet of its enemies. Unlike other minions, the Plague Poppy disappears after a set duration depending on your level. Only one Plague Poppy can be under your control at any one time.

Summon Raven: Required Skills: None Required Level: 1 The first animal to be summoned, the Raven is weak minion that does little damage. However its ability to fly makes it an invaluable companion. You can control as many Raven's as you like, provided it doesn't exceed how many skill points you spent on the skill.

Spirit of Barbs: Required Skills: None Required Level: 6 The first of the Druid's spirits, this spell creates an hovering spirit above the Druids head. The spirit provides a basic defensive aura, rising the defense of the Druid and his minions. It disappears after a set duration and like all spirits, does not have an attack.The spirit also follows you whereever you go and can be killed by monsters.

Summon Wolf: Required Skills: None Required Level: 6 This second animal summoning skill, the wolf is a much more solid minion than the raven. It is able to deal powerful attacks with its jaws and moves at more than satisfactory speed. This is probably the main minion of a fledgling druid. A druid may summon an equal number of wolves as the number of points he spent on this skill.

Vine of Life Required Skills: - Required Level: - The Vine of Life is the second of the Druid's plant summoning spells. Upon it's casting, a burrowing vine is created much like the Spirit of Barbs. While the Vine of life has no direct form of attack, it will devour all nearby corpses, and give the Druid life in return.

Wolf Mastery: (passive) Required Skills: Summon Wolf Required Level: 18 As with Necromancer's skeleton mastery, Wolf Mastery gives bonuses to all summoned wolves. The Wolf Helm, a druid specific item, includes a +1 bonus to this skill by default.

Summon Bear: Required Skills: Wolf Mastery Required Level: 30 The most powerful summoning skill displayed at ECTS, this spell conjures a massive bear to fight by your side. While the bear is slow moving, it is both tough a powerful. The bear is similar to a golem for the Necromancer, and thus only one Bear can be controlled at any one time no matter how many points you've got in the skill. (Additional skill points increases the Bear's power).

Bear Mastery?: (passive) Required Skills: - Required Level: - While unconfirmed, this skill is suspected to exist. Is so, it'll be similar to Golem Mastery for the Necromancer.

Skill 9? Required Skills: - Required Level: - There is said to be more three skills that summons spirits to your aid, and some far only two's mentioned. This must be the disabled red box at the bottom right of the tree. It'll be another Spirit of some type.

Skill 10? Required Skills: - Required Level: - There's nothing solid regarding the 10th skill, although rumors state that it'll be along the lines of large shrub guardian.
