Will the pet experience sharing from blue be live on green from the start? Or is that something that gets added during the patch timeline like dots ticking for less on moving targets?

Might have change my plans to afk farm using only my pet as a troll shadow knight; although +236% exp required shouldn’t be that bad, right? The potential pet xp sharing is literally the only problem with this plan.

My less exciting backup plan is to play a magician normally, but it also seems like it would be rough to out dps the pet or chain summon on green.

You'll be in a group most of the time, so exp penalty is shared and not quite as bad. If you group with a bunch of non hybrids it'll be more like a 20% penalty for everyone (but honestly you may exp 20% faster with a good tank...)

It's most of the time less then that. It would end up being between 2-4% per person depending on your level. Its a way, WAY smaller penalty for the rest of the group then people seem to advertise. What's happening is each level's total experience for your hybrid/race is increased, so the group treats you like a higher level character by that much experience, but to be honest, its even less then that too in almost every case (unless the hybrid is the highest level character).

Easy class to level (practically no xp penalty). Can solo. Wanted in groups (at least for the early levels). Easy class to make money (with ports). You get SoW. You get damage shields. Why not be a druid?

And don't forget they are the second biggest beneficiary of obtaining a manastone. And more than just porting for money, porting to just get yourself/friends around. The server isn't going to be overflowing with druids waiting to port you whenever you need it like blue.

They are a great starter class that can be customized to do a lot of different endgame goals.

They're easy to learn and easy to master and also can generate value basically by just hanging out with people..

For classic content they have a lot of advantages because a lot of great content exists outdoors and druids have the most utility outdoors, not the best, but the most and its all good enough.

And even indoors they can offer healing, which can sometimes just plop you into a great exp group on its own.

If you dont find a group or camp you can port around to somewhere you can.

They have little exp penalties and in some cases bonuses.

They cant be dark elves.

In Kunark they become less powerful, but they will still generate a lot of plat while you play your Iksar!

Overall they are a really fun class to play giving you a lot of options at any moment to fill a wide variety of roles.

I can't choose between a Ranger or a Wizard. When we get to Kunark, def making an Iksar Shaman tho.

[Cen]

I voted ranger.. But I might make an Ogre SK/Warrior/Shaman or Halfling Cleric or Dwarf Paladin.

I cant decide.
