Laugh because they're a glorified PL'er/porter/tracker/server bitch class. Nobody cares for your heals, nobody cares for your nukes...you're the laughing stock of the end game priest discipline.

Just put your wolf form on and try and look like it was all worthwhile, leave the healing to the clerics and the utility to the shammies.
shammy slow is more powerful than the entire druid class!
we get sooo screwed on our healing power, how are we even considered in the same realm as shammy/cleric? we're like weak wizards with a subpar heal. we don't even get a weak heal over time that we can cast on others... what the fuq? I have no idea what the Kunark devs were thinking in regard to druids.

but I still love the hell outta my class, and Smilks will forever be my main here.
druids may get screwed, but they're a ton of fun, especially with a manastone (when you're not stuck tracking). [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shaman slow is WAY overrated because it takes a shit pot of mana to keep casting it. Between Haste and buffs a Shaman is always oom. There is a reason the devs gave them Canni. Solo well maybe, but in a group no way you can keep up with pull after pull slowing and healing etc.

PoP era at a stretch and with a mount you could heal and slow but it really was quite brutal for having to constantly canni.

...wouldn't like to see a shaman main healing and having to slow here :/

If you're having trouble with mana, load up the lesser slow and carry on. Just wheel the big one out for lengthy encounters.

Most of the time with slow you hardly ever even have to heal. I've been in many groups (post-50) where the only healer is a shaman, who is maintaining slows and buffs. A heal comes once a mob? Maybe?

Most likely these days if the group's dps is well geared, which by the 40's is often the case [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's when adds turn up or when the shit hits the fan that a shammie will struggle with no CC...slowing the mob is going to draw aggro, then its having to ghetto CC with root etc.

A standard group with a decent puller is a recipe for success... I just remember struggling with PoP content in terms of hard hitting mobs and having to main heal without CH, though torpor was a blessing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey now us druids get a AC debuff with Vellious! Oh, and group Skin! And some junky heal.

And that little bear pet! Don't forget the bear pet!.... >_<

We are just over glourified PLers/Porters.. But hell, it makes great money [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
