What are you talking about druids are more desirable in groups? Lol that is a joke...I cant think of a class I want less in a group. Their heals suck past low level, their nukes always are crap compared to DPS classes, their buffs are always crappier then anyone else who has a similar buff. Nobody who understands the mechanics of the game wants a druid in their group they simply Settle for them because they cant find a cleric or real DPS. As a soloer druids are better but in groups...id rather leave the spot empty

What you're missing is that EQ grouping is all about force multipliers and efficiency - Wizards have little. Druids have side heals, Regen, thorns, dots, and can nuke in a pinch. Wizards nuke and meditate, occasionally root-park (if theyre smart enough to wear hp/ac gear), stun casters, etc. They can nuke down dangerous mobs quickly, but that's effective in only a limited number of cases, and they need to med for 2-3 minutes (during which time they are basically useless exp sponges) afterward. At least druid's thorns, STR buff, and regen are still rolling during that time if they have to med for a bit...
Overall, in more cases, a druid is a better group option than a wizard. When casters abound or fights are based around killing really specific mobs (i.e. healer mobs), a wizard is better.
For anyone who wants to solo, druids do it better than wizards.
