So I recently took on interest in the Druidic Herbalism facet of the class and thought it'd be really cool. I've been told about and read up how broken this feature is and I acknowledge that. I've also been told that Paizo has plans to gut this from Druid entirely and rewrite it from the ground up in June, which effectively makes what I wanted to make useless in two months.
Can anyone give me clarification on how this feature is being changed? Is there a way to still be an effective potion maker as a druid without this class feature if it's gutted to hell and back in June?
Can druids make effective/decent potion makers and do well economically or is it a pointless endeavor? I wanted to use the potions to bolster crops and improve an area in which I'd grow more ingredients to self-produce material components.
Also does the free potion portion of the feature demand that I follow potion creation time constraints?
