Play what you find fun.

Druids aren't so bad in group at low level, thorns is nice and it seems like the only class with damage shield since mages seem to have been abandoned recently. Druids have snare, which is very needed if not mandatory with the recent changes to mob movement speed. They also have harmony which is awesome for breaking up camps to pull from. They are very useful, but some of your abilities are limited to outdoor zones only. They solo fairly well too. It's a great first character to have.
