These spawns are rather ridic, I'd like to suggest either toning down their dmg immunity a bit at the very least or make them undead please.
They are very much killable. Sometimes bit harder than others if you lack specific things, but it is not that hard to run from them though.
I'd tone down their amount of healing potions personally..
He should not have so much healing.
Also, they should spawn randomly less often.
The last one I encountered had, if I recall correctly, two potions of heal.
Also, shouldn't they be undead? I was rather surprised when I cast a healing spell on him, and it, well, healed him. :D
Why should they be undead?
psh you think withered druids are hard? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HARD IS. Try fighting two flesh gardeners! Those things summon H'balan Vines!!! hehehe, its part of the current setting, deal with it xD just like the rest of us

I don't imagine a druid would be swayed so easily to H'balan magic unless they fully succumbed to the withering. At least, not in the numbers that they are now.
Nature magic can be corrupted, just like the corrupted ley stones. Makes sense for a druid to be corrupted and not have to be undead. I think the flesh gardeners are the complete undead withered druids.. its like the step up from withered druid.
I think the amount of sheer DR withered druids have is ridiculous and doesn't really make sense. Unless hbala is handing out epic DR loincloths, in which case- sign me up.

Flesh gardeners are noobs compared to Withered Druids. Also they both summon the same creatures, just that the spell lvl for flesh gardeners seems lower. The vines just often are with them.
Best think before you blame others.
Buff them.

A druid can choose whether to be corrupted or not. And indeed, I can hardly imagine any druid willingly joining H'Bala. Besides, even if they did, shouldn't they be undead by now? Would they not want to accelerate their Withering process to become undead as soon as possible?
H'bala has gifts to keep her minions not mindless undead servants. The DR they have is crazy but I think from personal experience unless like 2 or 3 attack you at once I'm not so sure they are some something over powered.

It's the summons, if anything, paired with the DR.
They're certainly fun to fight, though the flesh gardens are much easier.

I've fought both before and even fought with them on a hbalan pc before. I've never seen a withered druid summon anything but maggots and never seen them go invisible. I fought a flesh gardener yesterday and he summoned a pair of hbalan vines and 8 maggot swarms then went invisible... I'm quite sure flesh gardeners crush the druids.. or I just got an unlucky tough one which I'm quite sure is impossible
This was a DM possessed Gardener, Necropolis.
Standard withered druids are arguably a far greater threat.
But as with most tough opponents, you're not forced to fight them, you can avoid them.
Gardeners don't "Summon" vines. Just saying.
It was DM possessed Zango that explains it. Only logical explanation
Being undead never meant you were mindless...
Thread going nowhere. There were some minor changes made, they will suffice.
