1214 Pre-launch material has positioned build choice as a long-running thread, not a one-shot commitment. The skill tree supports respeccing and stitching paths together. New players are encouraged to read what each branch's minor passives do early in a run, then commit to one major path and one supporting branch by mid-game. Over-investment in a third branch tends to produce thin, jack-of-all-trades Druids.
