>spore druid overrated
On its own? Well, druids have different "tiers" as you progress and level up: you start bonking shit with Shillelagh, then you learn a few spells, and then you specialize in your subclass.

Spore makes it so you can add little, but constant damage to your attacks, so that your UNGA BUNGA tactits are a little more effective, and the additional HP are nice.
Summoning spore druids can be effective, use them as "spore shields", or to kite enemies away and spam spells on them.

But the real kicker is when you multiclass in something like Monk, or say Fighter: flurry of blows, extra attacks, you name it: then you add that little Necrotic damage, then put Symbiotic Entity into the equation, gear like Cacophony Staff: now you're dealing with a little powerhouse, and this character can tank enemies, support others with heals,debuffs,buffs, the works! Or cast spells from afar, and of course summon a good amount of minions.

So yeah, I really REALLY like Spore Druids.
