You're seeing what you want to see [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but that's ok. It's not going to keep me from sleeping tonight.

His argument is that Druids have no role in groups or raids...

MY argument is that we are a utility-class capable of filling in the gaps for whatever a group may be lacking..

THAT in itself.. IS a role.....

Don't mean to pile on, but you're second- or third-best at that as well. Bards are the quintessential gap-filling utility class...

I never understood why there are so many druids. Sure they can port, but other than that they suck.

Druids have a lot of appeal to people who like to help other players out. Between ports, SoW, DS, heals and other buffs, you have a lot of tools to make a lot of tasks less painful for others. Added to that the ability to solo well when there are no groups open, and to slot into various roles in groups when you can find one, even if Druid isnt the most ideal choice, it's pretty easy to see why they are so popular.

Stay free P99

I think the big appeal is that Spirit of Wolf and Ensnare combine to make it almost impossible to die unless you're doing something super stupid. Even if you do die, you're back in a hurry.

I would disagree that druids can solo "well." Let's just say that druids can solo, unless you're talking about quad-kiting, which I will agree is fairly nice experience, though not as good as a balanced chain pulling group.

number 1 reason people play druids

to sell ports to other people to make PP to buy items for another toon

druid is a good class to start with if you dont want to be broke

Hey don't forget that druids have it pretty good here on p99. As if the spells you cast in your OP weren't wasteful enough root and snare shouldn't even overlap (snare breaks root, root breaks snare) until just after velious
