Thorns. Easily adds hundreds of damage to a fight just from root breaks, etc. Very mana efficient damage.

That is a LOT of saved damage if I'm going to stand there and tank or let my pet tank.

Druids don't tank so it's kind of silly to compare. Which leads to...

You can't really say that snare and slow do the same thing since snare does almost nothing indoors.

Actually it does a lot indoors. Your snare slows a mob 70% and reduces damage, what does snare and running down a hallway so you don't get hit at all for 5-10 seconds save? You can even snare and run back and forth in a tiny ass room and it's still a definite reduction in damage especially if you're smart and time it so you run right as the next melee attack is about to go off.

You can't really say "well the pet is what sets you apart."

Yeah he can, it's really the only reason you're better at soloing indoors. You might be able to kill faster indoors than Druids since we can't quad but it doesn't make you better at soloing. That's his point. Wow, great you can regen your mana blah blah blah. Who cares when it's 30 mins to the next respawn? All that really comes into play is how many mobs you can handle at the same time to break a spawn.
So, Druids can get to 50 faster with less actual playtime required (long meds between kites). They can port between multiple camps easily and bind at specific camps while leaving to do other stuff with no real time investment moving around. They have track to check zones for named mobs easily. Don't underestimate track. Just a couple days ago I ported into NK and hit track and got a werewolf medallion which I sold for 1k. Took me literally 5 seconds of work while on the way to doing something else. Shaman would have no idea it was up. Shaman can handle more mobs in a specific camp, regen mana faster if quick recovery is required, and whatever else.
My point is.. this discussion is stupid and I'm not sure why I'm posting here still. You make a big deal about not being able to claim the shaman pet sets them apart but you simultaneously refuse to acknowledge Druid's travel ability in terms of soloing mobs. Druids can cover a shitload of camps and especially rare mob camps, roamers, etc while Shaman is stuck picking a camp. Oh and in addition to that.. Shamen are ugly and they smell bad.
