This has been bugging me for a couple days. Why don't people want druids? Is it because the population of druid players are not group friendly (IE: the class tends to attract people that solo or are unsociable) or is it the mechanics of the class?

I always thought druids were good for groups. Some healing, some damage, snare to keep mobs from training you at low health, buffs for the party, and evac if/when things go horribly wrong. Is it that those things can all be covered by other classes? (SK tank snaring, cleric healing everyone, monk/enchanter keeping the group safe)

I've been enjoying my druid quite a bit, and haven't had any issues grouping yet, though under 10 everyone kind of does the same thing. (hit orc with club) If people don't want druids around, I'm probably better off jumping to a new class before I put too much more time in this one.

Sorry to hijack your thread, Rencey, but it's been good to read about player expectations, so hopefully others may find use in it still.
