Druids shine the most for CT since they are viable DPS but could be replaced by enchanters. Same goes for Kael battles with wolves. Not sure the FTE comment; they can’t really beat a ranger for Fay and haven’t seen them do much in Fear or Kael. Maybe pulling Talendor if not competitive?
Functionally for low-man stuff they work fine for a lot of things. Depending of course if you need more than about 2mins of spot heals. I farmed my dragon bane herb with my druid over the shaman because canni-tanking seahorses was horrible. I’ve seen them do many camps that a shaman cannot in Chardok (and visa versa). They work in PoM but I haven’t tried mine there so only know by reputation.
In general a lot of druids and shamans show up on raids regardless if they are optimal. Rogue bots often go un-piloted. If you like healing and main a Druid, level up a cleric and get comfortable swapping without being asked. Same thing if you are the 12th SK or Paladin, swallow your pride and think on that for a moment (then swap). Or just play the char that’s less optimal and own some of the outcome if it fails.
