Summary: Great first class, plan on making an alt later.

pretty much hits the nail on the head. a shaman will 9 times out of 10 be picked in a group over a druid(30+ plus at least) but i've found if you try forming a group yourself, or you + a tank/dps friend, it's a lot easier to get the ball rolling. my main is a druid(lvl 46) and porting/having sow infinitely cast on you throughout your toons life is pretty awesome. you'll also pick up the ability to quad at lvl 34 when you get your aoe spell, lightning strike, and the experience is pretty damn good. good enough to let you solo all the way to 60 if you wanted to(although i get bored and often seek groups).

TL;DR great utility, not too hard to find groups, quad solo 34-60 -_-

The druid is a great to play if you want to explore the world of EQ for casual play. It's been said before, but you've got ports, spirit of wolf, snares, roots, tracking(!), dots, nukes and heals. At least for the outdoors, you can move freely as you want. Even if you manage to die, you won't have any issue retrieving your corpse.

It's also a really good first class to have if you plan on switching to another class. You'll be able to easily solo most camps you'd want to gear up a second character, or as already said, make plenty of platinum through doing ports. Those can go as low as 20p a person usally, up to 100p or or so if you're set up around the higher end dungons (Karnor's is a prime spot with people wanting to go to the emerald jungle). Or if you go to more difficult areas to travel to (or happen to have people that need to get to their guild raid FAST) you'll find people offering more crazy amounts in the hundreds of plat. (I've even gotten a cloak of shadows for a port!)\

Everything I've said just goes along with what was said above though.. "Great first class, plan on making an alt later"
