thanks that is all i needed to know :P

yeah about all druids have special is porting....
I think you're not giving druids enough credit. People around here are quick to call shamans the solo gods, and that is justifiable but only when the shaman is 60 AND has torpor.

But there is something to be said for a druid being able to solo by root+rot, quadding, OR charming. No other class has that many SOLID options for soloing, and a lot of people get tired of doing the exact same thing over and over and over again for 60 levels.

A bit off topic, but druids get too much undeserved hate. They're a generalist class; they don't fit well into a cookie-cutter XP group. But they are versatile and powerful solo, they work nicely in quite a few less-othrodox duos/trios (usually involving outdoors, charming, and/or fear-kiting), they are GOOD on raids (nice buffs especially in Velious, ports for mobilization, spot heals or a bit of damage/charming, etc), and who doesn't like to have one around for helping noobs/buddies level up?
