Druids are not meant for groups

And yes druids don't even have the best DS [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Don't get me wrong, I love druids. They are a very well rounded class that was ideal in a classic everquest experience where you didn't have a game populated by min/max hardcore nuts.

From a min/max standpoint, druids do not hold up well.

In a realistic game where you rarely have the *ideal* they are a great class because they have the ability to function in so many areas.

-They port
-They evac
-They heal
-They can put out damage
-They can situationally charm
-They can buff (and have unique buffs)
-They can cc

They aren't ideal at any given role though, so they don't fit into the min/max mindset easily.
