I saw nothing there about having all the ideal classes available.. which in reality is usually nonsensical anyway..

You're seeing what you want to see [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but that's ok. It's not going to keep me from sleeping tonight.

His argument is that Druids have no role in groups or raids...

MY argument is that we are a utility-class capable of filling in the gaps for whatever a group may be lacking..

THAT in itself.. IS a role.....

Don't mean to pile on, but you're second- or third-best at that as well. Bards are the quintessential gap-filling utility class...

No offense taken.. but bear in mind... Bards have nothing to compare to our HP buffs.. Regens... Damage shields.. SoW for pullers... and.. with Kunark dungeons just around the corner... no way to evac..

[Toobit]

Bards tend to fill the gaps that we do not... i wouldnt really compare the two.. they can CC much better than a root can... but thats about it.. they dont DD, regen, DoT, Harmony, HP buff or heal NEARLY as well as a good druid can.. nevermind evac...

That being said... I LOVE a good bard in my group... definitely the most difficult class to play at all.. nevermind play well..


A good Bard is a great thing to have... a bad bard is a friggin nightmare..

Necros laugh at bards. 3min root, screaming terror, Lich mana regen, actual in-battle healing ability all while still providing actual dps.

C'mon now seriously.

As for the druids, there's few things more glorious than having evac in a group, and the ability to get *to* a dungeon in less than 2 hrs to actually start XPing. Couple that concept with baby heals, regen (so very, very underrated), thorns, HP Buffs, STR for whiny melee, ghetto crowd control, invis, sow, and nukes. Believe me, a solid druid is a welcome addition.

My only real gripe with the druid class is their bear pet should at LEAST be bigger than the haflling casting it. Just Sayin'.
