Human : 17druid/2monk/1wiz

Ask Rest for details.
  
So you want to know about an exploit?

No. 2 monk also gives you access to ocean stance for +WIS.

DC between a level 17 druid and a level 20 is no different, as the max spell level is 9.

Do they get +2 Wis from capstone? Otherwise the DC will be the same.

And even if it is 1 DC lower, that is really all you get, vs 3 more Feats and Evasion.

2 monk gives you:
evasion
dodge
deflect arrows
tier 1 stance (and the ability to purchase higher tiers if you desire)
the ability to take stunning fist as a secondary measure of crowd control with your high wisdom
you get to punch stuff

1 wizard gives you
SLA invis
freebie metamagic
magic missiles (not many, but still ok for low cost shiradi spamming if you have arcane augmentation)
that cool book class icon

Thank you all for your replies
yes the splash looks way more attractive than going pure 20, tho the druid 20 capstone is as follows : Druid Hierophant: You are wise and skilled in the art of wielding divine magic to conjure aid and transmute the world around you. You gain +2 wisdom, and +1 DC, caster level and max caster level to your conjuration and transmutation spells. If you take Hierophant, you cannot take the Druid Natural Adept enhancement.

basically can get the same with the splashes it seems or just 1 DC point less maybe

I'd take maxed dodge, deflect arrows and evasion over 1 DC any day of the fucking week.

The capstone onlyndirectly boosts Transmutation spells and conjuration spells, on druids those schools arent really worth shit.

You have 2 dc's that matter.
Evocation
Stunning fist.

A 2monk splashed druid has the same evo dc, and an infinately better stunning fist dc.

I went overboard with mine and clocked up 3fighter, 3monk, 3sorc, 1wiz lives.

I love the build, but after playing with Rest who made his druid without the extra work, it was unnecessary. 

Youll be fine as a dc specced druid with you current lives. However, if you're not worried about using your +20 heart of wood, a sorc life would be more useful than a fvs life.

I do wish I had 3x sorc lives, but not enough to actually do them.

Using the water ele debuffs, sleet storm and earthquake, even my modest (mid/high 50s)DC is pretty awesome. He is still level 25, and I never bothered to respec him after the enhancement pass. I could eke out at least 5 more DC just from gear.

The optimal choice for a caster druid is human, pdk is runner up.

Drow would definately be lower on the list.

For the tactics?

I struggle making the druid I want without the human bonus feat, pdk getting the 1/3 cha mod to tactics is very tempting too.

If you speak Mandarin there's an active population on Sarlona 24/7
