I'm leveling a druid and he is currently 29. I've been monitoring this thread for a while and there is some good info. I hate to share my biggest trade secret so far but since I have learned something from this thread I figure I'd contribute. Once I got "Ring of Commons" I would bind myself near what ever place I was exping in, port to commons, run to tunnel, find a chanter (almost always one there, esp during peak hours) beg for a clarity (promising free ports in the future), gate to exp.... profit!
I also want to comment on charm. I say this with hesitancy as well because I'm afraid it will be "fixed" but charm has worked great since the first level I got it. I'd group in Oasis and charm Caimans. I'd get a full duration charm 80% of the time. Once I was using my "clarity hax" I would charm 1 mob, root rot another, sick them on each other, and break charm with hide (halflings are hax, reroll if you aren't one) and get twice the exp for like 1.2x the mana. I did this in NK with griffawns vs beetles, I did this in EK with gorge hounds vs gore hounds, and I am currently doing this in Everfrost with mamas vs mamas and icy orcs. The exp is nuts. Root rotting is nice but charming is the only way to get the most bang for your buck. Having clarity will ensure that you won't run out of mana if you have to do some emergency double roots or re-charms. I look forward to trying to quad at 34, I'll check back here once I get there... but I'm still only 29 (almost 30!).
Anyone want to comment very specifically how they got their druid through 30? Assuming mamas/icys don't turn LB, I'll probably just stay there. I like gnolls at WK spires but nothing to charm there.

Ill have to give this a shot. I made my druid last year so the new nerfs are definitely feeling a little more painful right now and back then charm was useless. Are you using any Charisma gear?
As for someone earlier that mentioned druid pulling issues, outdoor zones + harmony splits those Aviaks easily. I just personally enjoyed leveling on those last year because there is a vendor up top and zoneline very close to camp.
