The best druid on P99 - Nibbz

[kgallowaypa]

So if you have been grinding in CoM for the last few weeks, you most likely have come across a notable druid called "Nibbz".

Now before this gets out of hand and people vouch their love for Nibbz, you gotta understand that we all were noobs at the beginning of live and even playing a new class on p99. I feel bad for the guy and he has been getting some flack for really not playing his class well. Couple of people have stated that he will leave an XP group to port for plat and ask to come back or save his spot when he is the only healer.

Now if it was anyone else or purposely training other in CoM like yesterday's ***** (not gotta call you out, a petition made by 2 other players will sort you out bro), they would be despised across the board like our friendly lunatic in PoM. But this guy, I feel so bad seeing him LFG for hours and so oblivious that no one will invite him for a group.

Its great to see the community help new players out even if by 48 they don't understand the social aspects of how p99 works and thrives upon. But don't disbar someone and make him quit. Nibbz is currently grinding in CoM Eastern around 6pm and the poor fellow is being abused without any invites for groups.

Cmon forum, lest get this man off the streets and back into a wonderful xp group.

Oh he is also unguilded so...[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

the blue server has a history of a toxic community full of players like this, be nice to little Nibbz

Sounds like nibbz needs a lumi staff and a CS fang.

Doing anything but quadding for xp post 40 as a druid is dumb.

Bullshit! The only reason there aren't more druids grouping at later levels is because of douchey players like you telling them to stop grouping and go quad/do bear pits.

49+ is when they start getting the really awesome buffs, too.

This whole thread is about a druid sitting around in city of mist being blackballed from groups.

Hell at lvl 48 a druid is still stuck with greater healing, clerics get that at what lvl29? So healings out.


As for those "awesome buffs" which they arent until lvl 55+ any group would be at least twice as efficient with a shaman or ench instead of a druid.


What most of you retards dont realize is, the one thing druids do better than any other class, is out of combat support. We can powerlevel your noob faster than anyone, we can port you and give you a sow and lev for the road, we can track down that mob you're looking for, we can harmony the mobs that see invis, and we can even wolf form you dispicable iksars to allow you to bank. What we cant do is compete with any of the other priest or nuke classes when it comes to xp groups.

Luckily verant gave us a means of gaining experience without making the other classes pull our weight for us which is quadding.

We can make badass duo partners with necros and enchanters, my personal fav way to xp.

Yes you are right for classic EQ (1-50)

But the current state of p99, druids have the second strongest direct heal spell (nature's touch) and along with chloroblast this makes druids pretty damn good main healers. Back when I used to raid all the time, I would regularly solo heal rogue groups on raids like Zlandicar. I mentioned Zlandicar to put it into perspective. A lot of AE damage goes out on that fight, and its no easy task to be able to heal it as a cleric, let alone a druid.

As for nuke damage we are toe to toe with mages:

Wildfire: 1024

Seeking Flame of Seukor: 1024

As for healing, I already covered that

Like mages, druids also get damage shield:

Druid: 32 point damage shield

Mage: 33 (but also adds 33 fire resist as well)

We also got debuffs in velious. Fixation of Ro & Ro's Fiery Sundering. When both are put on a raid target this is what gets debuffed.

-41 Fire Resist
-22 Armor Class
-57 Attack

Oh it don't stop there! We also get some of the best utility in the game! One of them is Harmony, its an AE lull type spell. Its great for pulls, or to get past mobs that you don't want to kill. Have a train you need derailed? No problem, a druid can do that for you! We have AE Root/Snare as well as single targets. Before using the AE line spells in tight quarters, make sure you are running with a minimum of 110+ MR or you might root/snare yourself! Not to mention ports and arguably the best buff in the game! Come on bro's druids are pretty damn good!

I posted this as general druid info, I cant let bad info sit there without anyone checking them on it.

Yes, I agree totally Kgallowaypa!

FYI, new people is what keeps p99 rolling. So the next time you feel that need to push the envelope or (to be blunt) just be an ass to someone. Don't do it, go slower and explain to the person what you need them to do. By the way, nobody is perfect even I am guilty of the former! IMO there are no bad players, just bad leaders. So if a person is sucking, its your fault for not explaining it well enough so the person does what u need them to do.

Sorry for your trouble Nibbz! Look me up online or PM me if you need any help with gear suggestions, advice on where to XP etc. Hell if I am in game, I can show you some XP spots if you want! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For the time being I will friend you, and take it from there!

I played a druid main on live and due to lacking clerics many times we were forced to use Druids in CH rotations even though they didn't have a true CH (I think it was 75% iirc). It wasn't ideal but if you put a druid between two clerics in the rotation it could work. Considering all the other stuff druids bring to the table that is pretty damn good IMO. Of course, that is not applicable here on P99 but I think druids are probably underrated here as well. Sure, they sorta suck early but once they get leveled up some they start to shine. I love having a druid in the group. They bring a lot of utility and decent healing.

This.


Unless you like to take longer to level up your characters. I mean, everyone who rolls a druid (well, like 99.9999% of them) ends up rolling a 2nd character as their "Main" anyway. Better to just hit 60 so you can get more powerful spells/better stats and find better/more fun things to do.

Stop trying to bring in your liberalism. This is Classic stuff happening right here. People used to never invite other people into groups because they were bad, rude, or were ninja looters. Back in the day you earned a reputation as you played and if you didn't like that reputation you paid for a name change, x-fered off the server, or rerolled.
