dru charm NOT based on CHA? this is confirmed, or utmost heresy?

Confirmed. It's based on mob level and magic resistance

+1 to animal charm. Sometimes there really aren't (m)any animals to pet, depending on the zone, but I've seen druids put mileage on sathir-caller wolf pets in KC groups and what not. If you plan on raiding at all, try grabbing up one of the soul carriers or whatever in PoS. Angry bird is pretty nice as long as you can keep from dying to it.

If you decide grouping isn't your thing grab any melee character go to great divide charm a Kodiak and fear kite outside the caves.

Druid charmed pets top parses in PoHate/Fear/Sky. Also in Kael using a charmed dire wolf I have been able to top the parse on Derakor when I wasn't even in camp.

I had /pet guarded my wolf in our raid camp, I aggroed Derakor and his guards, AE snared his guards and kited them around, got a target on Derakor as he got tagged by an SK into our camp, waited until main tank called assist and /pet attack. The pet did something like 100 DPS. Beating out main rogues and wizards.

Charmed pet is #1 option if you understand how to control it (Ensnare EVERY charmed pet. NEVER stand in its Melee range and eat hits trying to recharm. ALWAYS kite away the pet and recharm without getting hit). They are solid DPS in Kael, Dragon Necropolis, Siren Grotto, West Wastes, and PoMischief for any group you have. They will be far more efficient than any DoT or Nuke you can cast.

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned before. Besides charming, the next highest damage you will get is by putting a damage shield on the tank. Its unresistable damage, its relatively cheap mana, and it lasts for several minutes. Seriously, do it.

OP snuck it in towards the end.

Once I've buffed the group and recharged my mana what's next? I mean besides giving the tank thorns. Any advice is appreciated, 40 druid.

It is really decent though and not enough druids keep it up on tank consistently imo.

I have met druids who insist damage shields aren't mana-efficient. It makes me so sad. You had one job, brambler.

Tanks in groups with me have a perma-DS.

Druid hate on here is ok but...IF you can't get a Cleric, Shaman, Enchanter in your group you just going to say F it and camp?? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am sure a lot of people kissed the ass of a Druid from level 14 to 52, now they are dog shit all of a sudden? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am not saying they are the second coming of JC, just now there is Ranger Hate, Wizard hate, Druid hate, Pally hate, SK Hate.

People, you are running out of damned classes you want. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If you think the perfect 6 classes are just going to drop out of the sky and group with you, you are crazy as hell. [You must be logged in to view images.

A LOT of people on here blow ass as an Enchanter, Monk, even Warrior. Not like everyone is PERFECT like some people act like on these Forums who think their name is going to draw cool shit for a group.

If there is 6 people in a zone and you are going to blow away a Druid to NOT be in it, well good luck on that attitude when you NEED a f'ing port to get your corpse back when you wipe without a perfect Cleric, or I will not even group mentality..

I see one hell of a lot of dead bodies in WL, and Kael. Maybe 4 people in a group doesn't cut it in reality.

Assume we have a mob that swings 3 times every 2 seconds and manages to get roughly 1 swing per second over a fight. Then you have your 12 point DS on the tank. Assume 2 mobs on the tank. Your druid is doing 24 DPS while sitting on his or her butt medding. Throw in nukes and charms and you've got some real damage.
