The life of a druid?

[Toobit]

Alawen, man.. you have such a negative outlook..

I enjoy doing all those things you describe.. I Love it when I save the chanter.. whether he 'fucks up'.. or more commonly.. when someone else breaks one of his mezzes.. I like the responsibility of keeping the DS, and whatever other buffs, up on my groupies... I take pride in recognizing a hopeless situation and ripping off a timely evac that saves a lengthy CR..

Patch healing between pulls... dropping a nuke here and there.. quick-rooting a loose mob.. Harmony in outdoor zones (yes.. Karnor's Castle is an outdoor zone. I'll seeya there) to facilitate pulls.. Keeping SoW on everyone in case we gotta zone it... This is our role.. and I love it all.

We were never intended to heal as well as Clerics, Nuke as well as Wizards, or buff as well as Shammys... but we are the only ones that can do all three, and then some.

I tend to worry less about what we CAN'T do and try to be the best at what we CAN do..

I can't really argue your major points.. all are true.. but why dwell on that crap?

We have our role.. and when executed well.. it is both desirable and appreciated.. at least in the groups that I have been in.
