Druids can be main healer but at lower levels their heals are sub par. They need high mana regen or insane mana pools to main heal a content appropriately geared group. They are useful as puller in outdoor zones, offer great grouping oriented buffs, and work well as backup healer/buffer/damage. They can also provide some crowd control through their above average root duration and snare to stop enemies from running without continuing to cost mana for heals. Root is also useful as a tanking aid for warriors in the lower levels as their damage and taunt powers are lacking in early levels compared to the damage output of melee and magic dpsers. They are not commonly sought because they don't provide anything unique to a group unlike shamans or enchanters. At level 60 they can easily operate as a main healer with chloroblast and natures touch providing much higher healing values along with clickable buffs for saving mana like group regrowth and thorns. I've seen a well geared group be main healed by s cleric using valor clicky so a druid could do the same with skin like diamond legs spamming 200pnt heals every 10 seconds or whatever that cast time is.

I mained a Druid on Red for a long time. At 60 I raided for awhile, and ended up switching to a Shaman.
As a Soloist: Druids are a blast to solo level with, all the way to 60. I really enjoyed it. The fun and manly way to solo is Charming Animals. But this limits you to zones that have animals. Solo leveling in Kedge and Permafrost lower level is the true sign of a Druid. Unfortunately, Velious went out of its way to make Druids incapable of soloing. The only non-leveling zones with animals are Kael and Siren's Grotto. Because of the mechanics in SG (you can't snare anything and everything summons), you really can't charm solo effectively. And in Kael...there are some OP dogs to charm, but you need a monk to pull them out for you. The other option is quadding...which takes no skill. But again, you are limited to outdoor zones where you have room to run 4 non-caster mobs in circles. As a Group member: After a certain level, you really cannot be the main healer of a group. You don't have an efficient spell like CH, and you don't have slows. And in hard camps, you want BOTH a Cleric and Slower. Basically....druids become an awkward extra member. The same holds for raids: unlike clerics, shamans, warriors, rogues, bards, a druid is never needed. You will be abused for mobilizing people for raids and doing succors across Siren's Grotto, you will never get to raids on time bc people will beg you for ports. Druid is a great first class, and a fun class to solo level. But it's limitations are real at 60. | ||

Raiding on a druid is really boring outside of Fear. You are basically a PoTG bot being passed around like a loose whore from caster group to caster group.

Druids get groups just fine as healer up until level 40 or so. After that you will have a hard time. People usually want a cleric by then though shamans can get thru due to slow.

Shamelessly quoting myself because I don't want to re-write what I posted in another thread
