Druids are fun, and a good money class, but as far as demand 50+ they aren't much wanted. Weak heals and dps. In fact, my druid has been refused groups that had openings because he "didn't bring anything to the table." =(

Typical newbie group leader, imo.
Parsing my druids DPS against any other melee dps class shows that I regularly put out more damage in a single fight. Granted druids cant keep up that kind of DPS throughout extended fights or for chain pulling groups, they add many things to the table. Spot heals can sometimes make or break a group, and druid buffs are great for higher end dungeons. I honestly cant think of a better class for an enc/mage/necro to duo with then a druid, their snare/root makes things insanely easy. I've also CC'd almost any camp in the 50-60 range currently in game on p99. So, I mean a good druid can do lots with the right group make up and also can push/enable/make it easier for other classes to reach their full potential in groups.

Personally I think druids who know how to play their class can bring just as much to a group as any other class. Anyone who says otherwise is just ignorant. Its pretty much the facts that druids are not completely NECESSARY for a groups survival and that druids can solo 1-60 in a few weeks that you rarely see them grouping.
