Do not hide and ever attempt a turn in.

You hide after the trade box is open, before clicking trade, conning the mob before clicking to make sure you're indifferent. It's never failed for me yet.

Half Elf Tunare.

The root neck has usefulness when OOM, when root isn't memmed, or when you need to chain root a mob that may summon if you use more damaging roots.

The Tunare gloves are basically the best gloves you can get as a Druid until either Yelinak quest, or Vulak gloves. Plus their clicky is very valuable as a mana free DS for PLed toons or for charmed pets.

Is Half Elf just your personal preference, or a min/max choice? As someone without a means of twinking, I feel that somehow the wisdom would be greatly missed, no?

I'm semi-certain haversacks won't be on p99. Some of the ingredients for those are Luclin-era.

The final root clicky is useful because a free root when you're OOM and getting unsnared adds on quads will save your life. It can also free up a spell slot.

If you go halfling, you basically get Lumi staff, snare clicky, DoT clicky, and potentially epic snare dot clicky, hide + sneak (inconsistent), and eat way too much. Plus you're short and have hairy feet, which I guess is a perk if you're into that kind of thing.

Druids aren't into the indoors, so being a small race isn't really a bonus since you won't necessarily be indoors looking through walls a bunch.

D'oh! Well, that's one less reason to choose a Halfling, but aside from that what are the names of the snare and DoT click items you speak of? Are these something that are halfling restricted or karana based?

Elder Spiritist's Gauntlets and Vambraces, any druid can use at levels 45+.

Sneak for quest turn ins also mostly pointless when you are already good faction.

halflings definitely look like garbage. Sneak is all kinds of useful in certain scenarios, especially vendoring to dubious types (like the vendors/banker in CC where you can't raise faction).

even without haversacks, having a cultural alternative to skill up tailoring is useful (Woody and halfling both have that option)

as a druid you're really not going to be worried about food ever once your forage skill is of a decent level... your inventory will be overflowing with the crap.

Haversacks: the jury is still out, as this would have to be included in custom updates after the last velious patch. Everything is in game except the celestial essence used to craft the embroidering needle... the pottery combine also does not yet function on p99.

If you feel you really need that necklace, then go WE... but I don't think it's something you need to get the most out of the class. Just don't roll human.

my halfling druid has a MAN-ly mu-STACHE

elf can't do that

Halfling is great, I love having hide/sneak.

sneak/hide can replicate rogue sneak hide

if your class can be a halfling, make it as one

Yep, this.

You can literally go anywhere with racial hide/sneak as it is right now. I'm pretty sure this is not intended/classic, but its been working for years after being reported to bug forums. As a druid, you get a guaranteed 10 minute invis at lvl 50. So, you can go anywhere you want with hide/sneak + invis, as long as you can make it there in 10 minutes.
