Tunare Necklace vs the Halfling

[Ele]

Do any races besides halfling get sneak? Didn't think so.

Sneak is powerful for getting around places. Quests that can be completed with sneak can be completed with hide or a friend casting invis/ivu when you have a tradebox open. Harmony and lulls can get you close enough for the turn ins, but realistically you're not going to be completing many quests in this fashion, so the utility of sneak will be mostly sneaking around dungeons or KoS mobs safely.

Unlimited free root, paired with unlimited free snare and unlimited free DoT is extremely powerful, especially now that root and snare stack. A druid with all three can kill just about any non-summoning mob without ever medding, though it will take a long time. But, since all of these are free casts anyway, there isn't a rule that you can't juggle several mobs at once.

Wood Elf, because halflings are ugly.

Do not hide and ever attempt a turn in.

You hide after the trade box is open, before clicking trade, conning the mob before clicking to make sure you're indifferent. It's never failed for me yet.

halflings definitely look like garbage. Sneak is all kinds of useful in certain scenarios, especially vendoring to dubious types (like the vendors/banker in CC where you can't raise faction).

even without haversacks, having a cultural alternative to skill up tailoring is useful (Woody and halfling both have that option)

as a druid you're really not going to be worried about food ever once your forage skill is of a decent level... your inventory will be overflowing with the crap.

Haversacks: the jury is still out, as this would have to be included in custom updates after the last velious patch. Everything is in game except the celestial essence used to craft the embroidering needle... the pottery combine also does not yet function on p99.

If you feel you really need that necklace, then go WE... but I don't think it's something you need to get the most out of the class. Just don't roll human.

my halfling druid has a MAN-ly mu-STACHE

elf can't do that

Halfling is great, I love having hide/sneak.

sneak/hide can replicate rogue sneak hide

if your class can be a halfling, make it as one

Yep, this.

You can literally go anywhere with racial hide/sneak as it is right now. I'm pretty sure this is not intended/classic, but its been working for years after being reported to bug forums. As a druid, you get a guaranteed 10 minute invis at lvl 50. So, you can go anywhere you want with hide/sneak + invis, as long as you can make it there in 10 minutes.
