Hell at lvl 48 a druid is still stuck with greater healing, clerics get that at what lvl29? So healings out.


As for those "awesome buffs" which they arent until lvl 55+ any group would be at least twice as efficient with a shaman or ench instead of a druid.


What most of you retards dont realize is, the one thing druids do better than any other class, is out of combat support. We can powerlevel your noob faster than anyone, we can port you and give you a sow and lev for the road, we can track down that mob you're looking for, we can harmony the mobs that see invis, and we can even wolf form you dispicable iksars to allow you to bank. What we cant do is compete with any of the other priest or nuke classes when it comes to xp groups.

Luckily verant gave us a means of gaining experience without making the other classes pull our weight for us which is quadding.

We can make badass duo partners with necros and enchanters, my personal fav way to xp.

Yes you are right for classic EQ (1-50)

But the current state of p99, druids have the second strongest direct heal spell (nature's touch) and along with chloroblast this makes druids pretty damn good main healers. Back when I used to raid all the time, I would regularly solo heal rogue groups on raids like Zlandicar. I mentioned Zlandicar to put it into perspective. A lot of AE damage goes out on that fight, and its no easy task to be able to heal it as a cleric, let alone a druid.

As for nuke damage we are toe to toe with mages:

Wildfire: 1024

Seeking Flame of Seukor: 1024

As for healing, I already covered that

Like mages, druids also get damage shield:

Druid: 32 point damage shield

Mage: 33 (but also adds 33 fire resist as well)

We also got debuffs in velious. Fixation of Ro & Ro's Fiery Sundering. When both are put on a raid target this is what gets debuffed.

-41 Fire Resist
-22 Armor Class
-57 Attack

Oh it don't stop there! We also get some of the best utility in the game! One of them is Harmony, its an AE lull type spell. Its great for pulls, or to get past mobs that you don't want to kill. Have a train you need derailed? No problem, a druid can do that for you! We have AE Root/Snare as well as single targets. Before using the AE line spells in tight quarters, make sure you are running with a minimum of 110+ MR or you might root/snare yourself! Not to mention ports and arguably the best buff in the game! Come on bro's druids are pretty damn good!

I posted this as general druid info, I cant let bad info sit there without anyone checking them on it.

Yes, I agree totally Kgallowaypa!

FYI, new people is what keeps p99 rolling. So the next time you feel that need to push the envelope or (to be blunt) just be an ass to someone. Don't do it, go slower and explain to the person what you need them to do. By the way, nobody is perfect even I am guilty of the former! IMO there are no bad players, just bad leaders. So if a person is sucking, its your fault for not explaining it well enough so the person does what u need them to do.

Sorry for your trouble Nibbz! Look me up online or PM me if you need any help with gear suggestions, advice on where to XP etc. Hell if I am in game, I can show you some XP spots if you want! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
