Druid became potent high end healer once Luclin came out and we got that 3.5k heal, +heal focus items, +healing AAs really made a difference.
in PoP this gets upgraded to 4.6k heal + some more healing AAs + some high FT gear (Judgement set from VT gets you to Ft 15 with only 3 items) - and I could heal Hard LDON missions before even having elemental gear.
This of course depend of your tank's AC alot

You know this server isn't going past velious, right?

Well now thats just sad. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Since luclin was one of the best expac's IMO and my personal fav. Is there a timeline posted of what they are going to be doing with this server and how long its going to be up? Thanks in advance.

Only the devs have the official timeline, but it's not a secret. Basically through Velious, but stopping there. No Luclin.


I certainly hope they eventually decide to add it - maybe with some modifications, since I never got to experience Luclin - but no biggie if not.

that is beside the point of what i was saying. I was replying to the notion that "druid NEVER was a good healer even in PoP+ era", which isn't true

Bah to healing. The root and dot stack ability is just sick. This is the class that you can pretty much run around naked in, and still drop giants left and right staying at full mana. Best duo is 2 drui's imo. Full groups you wan to keep an evaq ready. Back up the cleric, but do damage, or have 2 drui's which works really well. Keep everyone buffed including sow. If you are just starting out and have no access to real gear, this is a plus-plus.

Cleric, you are a heal bot, that's about it. You can solo, but mainly undead which is pretty fun at that while grinding. Gear up or die - get enough groups killed here and probably get a bad rep real quick with the low population. Some people really cant do cleric even with the best gear.

Have played both classes extensively on live and peq for years, including multi-boxing various combos. Don't bother comparing them and knocking one or the other over a single ability, only shows ones noobness to eq. Either is a good pick, but cleric if you want to be a heal bot or drui if you want to do everything else pretty well.

Chantel got to 50 before kunark.

Xosire is still getting groups on his cleric.


Just saying.

I think the majority* of players here believe classic-Velious had the right idea.

Luclin onward.. I just can't get onboard with. I played the expansions up to like omens of war. It was all right, but mostly just a big waste of my time.

I'd rather have a completely custom game after Velious than rebuild that fail. Cats on the moon not happening on my watch.
