I vote for Wizard.
Druids are as said, a dime a dozen, you can't walk through a zone without tripping over one.
Druids as a secondary healers are pretty poor, a shaman could fill the roll 10x better with buffs and being able to assist in DPS without running out of mana, on top of having a larger variety of damage types against resistant mobs and a passive pet.
Druids as added DPS is again, poor, when compared to pretty much any other class besides a Cleric... (and a cleric with a manastone could probably out damage a druid in the long run. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])
Wizards, while annoying to watch them sit there and suck XP, they come through in a clinch far better then a druid could, if theres an add that needs to die right now, wizards got that covered.
Druids solo, powerlevel and port for money... thats all the do, i actually hate to group druids cause i know 9/10 of them are just making druids to leech plat from porting and powerleveling and claim camps from classes that could actually use the drops. |
Couple things wrong here:
Druid thorns add a ton of dps for a very small amount of mana cast in a group situation. Thorns add up in a hurry. Druids can also snare and evac, two things that only become increasingly vital come Kunark-era dungeons.
You forgot that Shamans cast slow, too, which sucks up a lot of their healing mana, in trade for tanks obviously taking far less damage. At least in my experience, it's far, far rarer to find Shamans looking for group, as there are far fewer shamans than druids, and even the few you come across are usually alts looking to solo. It's hard to compare Druids to Shamans simply because it's fairly rare to have to choose between one or the other. Most groups looking for a replacement will blindly add a healer regardless of class anyways.
