Druids can heal and buff, but that doesn't really make them a preferred choice for most groups.

Druid would work fine with an enchanter, providing extra damage, buffs and heals for the enchanter, help with root CC, and ports.

Tecmos you break my heart bro. "Work Fine?" Sadface.


Druids are exceptional partners for an enchanter. If you know how to do a certain trick with a certain combination of spells, I would say they're right alongside clerics but not quite Torpor Shamans - a shaman with Torpor is indeed the best partner for an enchanter at 60. The ability for the shaman to tank with Torpor allows for more hardcore mobs than the Druid / Enchanter combo might be able to handle, but still I have yet to meet something that my dru/ench team can't surmount.

You may be able to tackle hard core mobs with the Shaman, but more dangerous stuff would be easier to attempt and do with the druid. Druids are AWESOME safety nets for enchanters between snare, root, evac and heal. Once you get to the point where you can appreciate and wield the amount of CC and power between the two of you nothing should really phase you.. at all.

And during the Velious era it only gets better. Dual charm in pretty much every zone.

Sorry Petros but IMHO there is no way Druid/Enchanter can take down Korocust. When you have these high level mobs raping your pets for 500-1000 damage a round you just absolutely have to get them slowed. And Malo+tash and two players chaining slow is the best way to do it. If you have less you run the risk of the RNG fucking you. Like Monk+Shm, if you get a bunch of slow resists and no tash procs. So for example here are my rough guesses for win probability for two skilled L60 players vs the myconid spore king:

100%: Enc+Shm, War/Mnk/SK/Rng/Pal/Mag+Donal's Cleric
95%: Enc+Enc/Clr/Mag, War/Mnk/Sk/Pal/Mag+Shaman
75%: Enc+Nec/Dru, Nec/Shm, Rng/Shm
60%: Enc with strings/wand of allure solo
25%: Enc w/out strings solo

Good point about the charming though Petros. I'd still rather have malo/turgurs/torpor but in Chardok Druids would be nice. I have always wanted to make a charming druid [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Cheap too!
