“I am disappointed with the appearance of the Druid”
On Reddit, the current most discussed topic, with over 1,200 comments, is the appearance of the Druids. They are portrayed in Diablo 4 as overweight in all body shapes. The criticism is: “Female Druids always look like they want to speak to the manager.”
Even players who are not slim themselves do not find this good. They say they do not need this representation, and it does not fit Diablo. A sturdy warrior who is not just made of muscles, yes. But these bodies are simply not aesthetic:
I do not want to offend anyone; I just find it not aesthetic because I do not like large or bear-like characters. That’s why I have never played a Barbarian because they looked weirdly huge and like a wardrobe in Diablo 3 and before. But the female Barbarian in Diablo 4 is more athletic and muscular than stocky, which is why this is the first time I will try the class.
I wish we had 2-3 options like in Star Wars: The Old Republic, where you could choose slim, medium, muscular/fat, and huge for both genders. That offers a range to play with.
At least a few players seem to be happy about the appearance of the Druid. One user says his character looks like Robert Baratheon from Game of Thrones, and he thinks that’s great.
One player is even moved to tears because her character looks exactly like her. She says she has never felt so seen.
Will Druids stay like this? At least regarding balance, Blizzard has already stated that the beta serves to some degree for the evaluation of classes. However, how much will change is still unclear.
Some players emphasize that classes like Druid and Barbarian become strong only later, especially since the Druid cannot utilize his unique mechanic in the beta. Other classes may be stronger at the beginning but will not explode as much in the end as, for example, the Druid.
Since the endgame cannot be tested at the moment, there is a lack of data to support this. That Blizzard will change something about the appearance is rather unlikely. The appearance seems precisely intentional.

In the Open Beta of Diablo 4, the Druid is playable for everyone for the first time. The class has not been seen in the series since Diablo 2, and many had hope for the nature warrior. However, in the first test, the shapeshifters do not convince.
Why is the topic so big? In the current Open Beta of Diablo 4, Druids are playable for everyone for the first time. The class was very popular in the past, but had not been represented in the Diablo series for a long time.
Last time, you could play them 23 years ago, excluding the remaster of Diablo 2. Neither Diablo 3 nor Diablo Immortal had the Druid as a class, even though it used to be one of the most popular and strongest.
Druids are the only shapeshifters in Diablo; they can take on a bear and wolf form and cast nature magic. As an archetype, they are unique in the series.

This is the problem with the Druids: Now, after the first tests, many players are expressing disappointment. Above all, the performance of the Druid is criticized. It is said that no build is really strong. No matter how you play Druids, they lag behind all other classes.
Already, Barbarians were significantly weaker in the first test compared to Sorcerers and Hunters but received a buff. Druids are even weaker, especially having problems against bosses and taking too much from enemies. However, the gameplay is not the only issue.
One player is even moved to tears because her character looks exactly like her. She says she has never felt so seen.
