Here is one new hero, fresh out of the campaign.
Some hesitations now.
Should I get rid of the Spriggan and apply the node that makes me single-companion?
Should I get rid of Ice Thorns and replace them by Entangling Roots, knowing that they would take long to proc (six Vale spirits)?
Should I get rid of Ice Thorns and get an idol-proc’ed Maelstrom?
Should I continue playing this char?
Here, the main topic is poison. Applied by the Druid, byt the Scorpion and by the baby scorpions. The Spriggan is here as a support.
Serpent’s Milk is level 64. I planned to use it if I continue with this char.
Plague Bearer? Interesting, but I have little health regen as a transformed and the staff has no minion affix. I’ll have a look at it though. I was planning a, ornate wand (with chance to poison on spell hit as implicit) and a shield. Pleague Bearer is an interesting alternative, if I can compensate the health cost.

Should I get rid of the Spriggan and apply the node that makes me single-companion? If you aren’t relying on minion damage, then I wouldn’t do it. Spriggan is to invaluable as an aurabot.
Should I get rid of Ice Thorns and replace them by Entangling Roots, knowing that they would take long to proc (six Vale spirits)? It would only be 4 vale spirits, which would be 5 casts of spirit thorns. Now, using cycle of life to summon a vale spirit on totem death has them up constantly.
Should I get rid of Ice Thorns and get an idol-proc’ed Maelstrom? No. You aren’t using the skill tree for it. Use the node in Spriggan if you want to use maelstrom. Frenzy would help on a poison build (for self applying).
Should I continue playing this char? Up to you. I think you need to narrow down what it is you want to do. Honestly, Druid has a hard time being a poison spec since you don’t have aspect of the viper. This almost always requires using Salt the Wound gloves and stacking crit multi as well.
