Their regen, heals and HP/AC buffs are good at any levels.

Are they the best? Maybe not, but they're definitely the ones I see raking the most cash.

I only PL if I'm offered something obscene, like 1.5 an hour and in the mood (it's kinda prostitution) and I still think that's a better deal than dru pl from 15-40, where I excel. Would take several hours of dru pl to equal 1 hour of monk pl during those levels.

Monks get no respect, we PL better than drus and dps better than rogues (in classic, for the most part), but drus are "the plers" and rogues are "the dpsers."

As for dru vs. shaman - what are you trying to do? level fast? Then shaman.

Make money? spose end-game in classic, quadding seafuries is more money as a dru than a shammy makes. But I don't really know what end-game shammies do for money.

If you don't want to just solo, shammy is more valuable to a group by leaps and bounds in my book. Dru does what a lot of other classes do at weaker amounts, so they're good solo or for small groups because they're more varied - shammy brings buffs and higher mana regen to the pool, over drus.
