Advice for lowbie Druid on gear/grouping

[baalzy]

Healers are almost always in short supply, unfortunately. I always figured a group could either have 1 cleric or a shaman & a druid to get roughly the same amount of healing.

Unfortunately gear really won't help you heal better. You can boost your maximum mana which will allow you to heal longer initially, but unless you're constantly experiencing periods of time where your group is doing nothing so you can med to full, having a larger mana pool doesn't do you much good.

Still, you can pick up some decent low power jewelery for under 200pp. 2ac 15hp/mana bracelets run about 40p a pair and then a pair of +2 wis rings for fairly cheap. (I wanna say 10-15p). Those'll give you a little more initial boost. It'll get a bit better at 19 when you get 'healing'.

Your other alternative, as a druid, is to skip the group and just solo.

Soloing as a druid after the nerfs is pretty much impossible.

Not with charm. Druids are quite solid if they know how to work with charm

Yea as I'm learning. Its not too bad. I still think its much harder than before, but at least its possible.
