For groups? One is healing while the other is doing DD's, DS' ,buffs and heal assists. It only sucks when one drui refuses to team with the second in pugs to split duties (I've seen this happen).(

Sure they can work together and split duties but it's a lot harder to get into groups because you need to find a group with 2+ spots that are can/want to take 2 druids. From a group's pov they can get a lot more from clr+dru or shm+dru. Also they may have 2 openings but require/want specific abilities (tank, CC, mana regen, lockpick, etc). A dru + something else will fit in with a lot more groups.

Your best bet is convincing your friend to not play a druid. They're pretty awful, and there isn't anything unique they bring to the table.

While I agree with you about rolling an enc (probably my top pairing for dru), I think druids are excellent first-timer characters. They can let you experience very many ways to play (healing, caster DPS, root-rot, fear-kite, charming, quad-kite) and have a lot of tools that make life easier for a new player (sow, ports, invis, forage, track) combined with low gear needs.

Nah they do fine with a drui actually. I mean compared to like what, ranger??? hahahaa.... er but um not bad especially with DS added, str buff, heals seem to go a long way if fighting undead etc.

I would say dru/pal is the bottom choice as far as dru + tank duos unless you're planning to stick solely to undead. Dru+SK takes less damage as they can fear-kite, so druid can apply more DPS (pet and dots help a little too). Dru+War benefits from higher DPS, can fear-kite animals or can aggro-kite with the warrior zerking for extra DPS.
