Druids don't really have that anywhere.

I'll argue druids are the best utility alt. This is not a downer on them; they're very good at handling most of the various "maintenance" tasks that EQ requires over time. They're great bank mules, great for transferring equipment around, good as EC brokers, good for helping new characters start out, excellent for porting around searching out various quest NPCs and such, and they can mostly do it without needing particularly high levels or very good equipment. Such jobs don't necessarily get much attention or discussion, but they're necessary for playing EQ for any length of time. After all that, druid's still at least competent for normal activity through most of the game as well. It's hard to go wrong having access to a druid, even if it isn't a main. Druid's the most popular class, year after year, and I suspect the above is largely why: It has its place.
