Hello here is something I did because I kinda don't like moondruids at level 2 and even after. This start out less broken with dealing a little less damage and having way less tankiness at the expanse of staying in a caster form. It ends up giving more support and the damage is scaling a little until at level 14 you might want to burn a level 6 spell slot(expansive I know) to turn into quite a monster.
Circle of the beast:
D&D5 ed druid subclass – Circle of the beast
The druids that come from the circle of the beast have so strong ties to beasts that they literally made contact with one of the oldest primal beast of lore. The primal beast is of divine power and can manifest an avatar through a strong bond between the druid and itself. Druids from the circle of the beast may looks savage like beasts to other folks and they probably really are to a certain degree for people that do not understand the way of the beast or for people that made the mistake of disturbing the neutrality of life on their territory.
