This is actually just fine for a Shaman because, despite being much less efficient with those abilities at the lower levels, their healing spells are more comparable to a Cleric's at those levels and Shaman also receive the all-important SoW at a low level.

Why should a Shaman - a class that is essentially a tribalisitic witch doctor - have a commandable wolf pet and a Druid (who is supposedly a master of animals/plants/nature/the outdoors) instead only have a shitty "Charm Animal" spell that isn't viable in most zones and is generally inferior to the summoned pet to begin with because of the time/mana spent having to constantly recharm and mitigate the pet breaking and attacking you.
shamans and druids heal the same til kunark after which druids get better heals. check the spell lists. sorry but i dont think melee want a torpor so they cant do any damage.

also shamans get sow before druids so if any class needs to not get sow it would be druids. its a shaman spell first naturally.

shamans have whats called a spirit/totem animal, hence shamans get a spirit wolf. your right about druids needing an animal companion though.

other than your general stupidity on everquest classes i agree with you about one thing on druids. eq really made druids into pussies. what kind of druid doesnt have an animal companion and can't shape change?
