I know a few druids who quit in the high 30s on p99. Why? Theyre terrible groupers. They dont have anything another class doesnt already have covered.

So, if you go druid, its good to know you can quad, because its all you will be doing post 34.

I wouldn't go that far.
Sure other classes have the same thing druids have but druids get it all in one.

Damage shield, spot heals, snare, root, stun (outdoors only), AoE lull (outdoor only) pretty decent nukes, a couple buffs, teleports and evacs. Would you rather wait around to find a class that can do one of those things or just grab the class that can do all of the above (if they are already LFG anyway)?

So while a druid isn't the best at these things, it's never a bad idea to have one in the group if there is a spot open. Who doesn't want to carry around a swiss army class with them?
