Gee, thanks for making the class look good in teamplay...

I'll offer one more piece of advice.

Decide what makes this game fun for you.

At the end of the day, this is a game, we play it because it's fun. What makes the game fun is different for everyone.

Are you able to play the game and have fun exploring, killing and soloing without having the absolute best in slot item equipped in every slot?

Druid will be a fine class for you. They can solo effecitvely at all levels, and can even do so without any gear at all. Items are not a crutch for the class, and they only serve to make what they do a little easier.

Do you need the absolute best item in every slot, plus grouping/raiding in the highest end zones in the game? Don't play a Druid.

From what I understand, you're fairly new here. Druid is never a bad idea for someone new, much like a Necromancer. If you level the Druid up, get level 60, you'll find it no problem to get the platinum you need to properly equip another character that is perfect for grouping/raiding the end game. But if you feel the need to get level 60 ASAP and start farming ph4t l3wtz and raiding VP, I fear you're wasting your time with the Druid.

Unless you're talking about rolling on the pvp server, the level cap here is 60.

Also, you don't need to be in a high end guild to clear fear and hate plane at this point with the lev 60 cap. I'd imagine any guild that fields a good amount of people lev 51+ is clearing both at least sometimes. Even if they don't have enough on, people have alts/friends elsewhere that want to tag along.

Druid is gonna be my money-maker. I don't expect to have the absolute best equipment, but I do want equipment that would at least be GOOD ENOUGH to raid with if I found a guild that did so regularly and could tag along with their core group.

NON-TROLL RESPONSE FROM DIGGLES WOW

AFAIK druid recruitment is extremely low on the top two guilds, who are the ones actually nailing content. If you want a money maker, a bard kiter, pet class (this is less efficient after the exp nerf), or enchanter charm killing would be your best bet.

Ok Question for you all. Friends play a bard and a warrior, we are levelling together.
Is my druid going to be fine healing them at higher levels (14 at the moment) Or is it actually going to go a lot slower?

I'm seeing the bard as being on slow duty.
I can't see a huge mana efficiency difference between Clerics and Druids, unless you are just going to rock out 1 CH a battle and ride on that?

Looking over the spell lists it doesnt look like things will start to change until 40s (shaman have canni and clerics have CH).
Thoughts? I'm not HUGE on what class I play really. thought druid would be good with bard, giving us the ability to kite, but I don't want us to be feeble in tanking situations at higher end.

Bards are complete utility. Regen, Clarity, Melee chant, movement, all of that.

Druids are *ok* healers, clerics will always be top but you can make due, it's just going to require a lot more med periods.

The thing is about druids, they do a bunch of things, they just dont excel at them (except some buffs). They'll never dps as hard as a wiz, they'll never heal as good as a cleric, and they'll never be able to kite as well as a bard/wiz-(dunno if this is true, I never have quadded on a wizard)

So why does everyone think this makes them bad? Versatility beats specialization in a lot of cases, especially in a game like this. It's not just specialize or solo, there's room for unique snowflakes too.
