Cool, I would still recommend high mana pool.

Hmmm... I wonder if "best in slot" pieces for a druid would help in that goal of a high mana pool!

If you are concerned about AC make sure you are rocking a shield in your offhand as shield AC does not go against your softcap making it by far the most bang for you buck.

At low levels Root snare nuke nuke root nuke nuke nuke

This is absolutely completely wrong. At low levels, solo druids melee. We don't even get a dot until level 14. The nerf on dot damage is not implemented until Velious or Luclin or thereabouts, so rooting is a complete waste of mana at low level.

Low level druid strategy: buff yourself with skin, coat, strength and shield or as much as you have if you're under level nine. Single pull with harmony and flame lick. Beat that shit down! Heal yourself with treeform regen. Repeat!

In your teens, you should be able to charm an animal and have it beat up another then break with hide and kill them both but it doesn't work on P99, so you're going to start kiting because stuff starts hitting too hard. When you start dot kiting, kill yellows and reds. Snare and our dot line are both low resist and you get way more xp for doing a little more xp.

Group when you get an offer, because it'll be faster until... level 34! Yaye quad! Tell groups to piss off! They won't want you anyway, because we're crappy healers at that point.

Also like to point out that a shield's AC is the determining factor in mitigating dmg when warriors /shield someone... Not sure if that skill is in P99 since i didn't actually create my warrior in EQ till 2003... Always played necro before that :-D

heh if you spent 30k on a druid you did something wrong.

other than a manastone, nothing on your druid should cost more than a paw of opolla. A whole 3k. Rest of it is all under 1k gear, most of it is probably 100-400pp.

Yea, you're right.
Golden Efreeti Boots are under 1k
Pearl Kedge Totem is under 1k
Brown Chitin Protector is under 1k
Reed Belt is under 1k
Manastone is under 1k
Platinum Tiara is under 1k
Onyx Drakescale Cloak is under 1k

......?
