Best Tank for Druid as Healer

[Byrjun]

Enchanter or Shaman.

Slow > *

No warrior option?

It's a trick question. Druids are porters, not healers.

This. Though not sure if that counts as a tank or not. Druids cannot compete with mob damage at high levels of play, nor is it really worthwhile at low levels of play.

Robe of the Spring changes that and Velious will too. But your average player won't see either of those things.

Problem with monk and druid is monks tanking is mostly avoidance which means DS has less an effect. DS is a lot of damage on unslowed mobs. I'd want a warrior or knight who mitigate better and utilize the DS more.
Warrior+best dps weapon + DS + regen + hp buffs
Druid harmony pulls/root CC/occasional heal/snare runners
Target low blues that warrior could almost solo w/o druid

mow thru stuff

This for sure, if you're open to non-melee classes

I tried duoing KC with a Druid on Sakuragi once while I was leveling up. Even with fungi/blood points/cof/truncheon it was just not that great (while Sakuragi paired with a shaman was actually quite solid). The reality is that a Druid just doesn't have the juice to keep a melee up in the 50s without serious downtime. Even the vaunted Robe of the Spring (250 heal every 14s) is half as good as torpor, and the Druid doesn't have slow.

Druid is simply a weak class at high levels.

Fix your classes Verant

How is this a thread about tanks and there isn't even an option for warriors, unless warriors are truly kittens?
