If I remember right shawl only going to 7th, 8th wasn't put in til Luclin.

7th still has flowing thoughts on it and ok stats to make it worthwhile for alot of classes. But yes the armor quests really arent that great unless you getting SS armor and even some of those pieces are meh...Velious offers more areas to hunt and cheaper upgrades to get for lower casual people.

Nope

Bard:

Mana/HP regen songs for lower levels (20 and 32)
Overhaste won't really be necessary on this server, as it still will not allow a player to surpass the 100% haste cap, but bards will be able to get players to the haste cap (55% from epic + 10% L60 ervaj + 35+% item haste), which they cannot do in Kunark and will never be able to do without epic/Velious daggers.
Epic cockblock of Trakanon eventually gets fixed. No this is not "group" content, but it will be a HUGE improvement over the current implementation.
Lute of the Howler
Kael plate cycle should be virtually perma-camped (even though Thurg armor is marginal improvement over planar, especially in non-leg/bp slots).
Bards should be able to rock the ring quests, so getting a clicky should not be too hard.

Unless the 7th shawl was buffed after Velious, yep.

7th shawl gave FT 1
8th shawl gave FT 3 + buff extension.

Druids:

Epic goes from one of the hardest to one of the easiest with Triggerable VS every day with 2 stones and Triggerable Faydedar 3/4 months into Velious
Snare+Root stacks 1 month into Velious
New 60 and 55 heals 2 months into Velious
Track Cap moved from 50->125, 3 months into Velious
Forage will guarantee you foraging a food or drink 4 months into Velious IF you are hungry/thirsty.
Egress castable indoors, Wind Ports castable from any zone occurs 6 months into Velious
Druid quest BP has clicky Group Regrowth, never having to spend 600 mana again to get your group regen is huge
Druid quest gloves has clicky level 49 DS. Perfect for PLing also useful for mana free DMG.
Druids get two new Fire debuff lines that reduce AC, ATK and FR
Druids get an indoor castable stun to interupt inside casters
Druids get a bear pet which is useful as extra mana pool (with reclaim energy clicky) or per pulling)
Cobalt Scar provides high level Quadding location for lazy druid play.
Western Wastes provides fun area for charm kiting at high levels that used to be limited to dungeons.
Sirens Grotto provides area for baller druids to duo/trio. Really gutsy druids may solo here... Very lucky or gear dependant to solo though.

The above post definitely highlights what I think of as a Druid. Mid level quad kiting areas in iceclad and wastelands are great. Plus you get a waterfall to shower in!

The Warrens.

Everything else in Velious is irrelevant.

GIVE ME THE WARRENS!

....also all the xp penalties that go away... and general buffs to hybrids which are very fun classes to play, which causes a drastic decline in the population of Halfling druids lol
