Get a Luminescent staff, its a free 184dmg quad.

I've always wondered about that thing, are you actually able to get the 10 second cast off before mobs can hit you? How much leeway is there?

Druids are the jack of all trades and the master of none. Pretty much that way in every MMO. But hey look at the bright side they are the best characters for making money. On my druid back in the day I would port to various locations just looking for rares on track. Can't travel that quick with a ranger. Make money pretty easily.

Ehhhhhhh I don't know about that one. They might be among the best money makers for a new player, but as far as in the long run, I'd have a hard time buying that.

Necros and Enchanters are probably the best at making money because they can solo so well and have a plethora of utility spells to allow them to reach named mobs without fighting through.

*cough* WoW *cough* - more like master of 3 trades at a time there with no actual penalties [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
in EQ1 druid only started to shine in PoP+ era when dots started to stack, and they finally claim solid 2nd healing place in groups and even raids with 3.4k and 4.5k heals. Until then druid was "mediocre at everything" other than travel...

the only truly benefit of a druid being able to buy things cheaply in EC, then port to Gfay or go to EverFrost area (rich people camping Igs) and auction your wares there - this is how I made 20k before my first char ever hit level 30 =)
Making money was way easier than leveling [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

See Id like to believe that its just a bad rep Kimm but, when you look @ what I have to offer compared to what the Shaman has its like basically, I get a Dmg shield, while he gets stat buffs, haste buff, slow debuff and self manastone. Not to mention gets all the same spells we get, but at a sooner level =/.

I just cant decide if being able to port is worth losing all those extra spells/abilities. I mean I really do like my Druid but I hate soloing with it, and I hate feeling like I am just a weaker version of another class. Which sucks cause traveling around as a Shaman is going to suck lol >_>, assuming I do just reroll Shammy.

Well now... on live snare and evacs mattered and were even required for success in dungeons. Here they usually are not needed at all.

Agreed. As a druid, I never use snare. I just quad kite mobs running at full speed. No problem.
