Shaman vs Druid soloing...

[JOCKJAMS]

Who's got better utility/survivability for Red? I'm not counting on groups with the Red population size, and I'm guessing I'll need a bunch of oh shit buttons outside of my grind rotation.

Between racials I'm thinking halfie druid (forage, sneak, SoW, tracking, ports) or ogre shaman (stun immunity, torpor, resist debuffs). I'm leaning towards halfie because they seem to have self-sufficiency through utility outside of hp buffs/regen but if it's so one-sided in favor of ogre shammie then I'm probably just going to skip the bullshit, role it, and suck it up through early/mid levels.

There's a lot of mechanics that have also been tweaked on Red I guess, so I can't really even begin to bring my prior EQ experience into play.

Personally I prefer the Wood Elf for the free Hide at level 1. It appears some don't know how to use it though judging by a comment I got in NK. Some other Wood elf druid told me I need to watch it around the tower as the werewolf saw through his hide and the guards didn't help him. I had to explain to him that he had to Con the guards until they were indif before he would know whether or not his Hide worked.

1-60 xp (mostly outdoors)? Druid
Indoor loot camps? Shaman

Feels Like a good place to whore out my EVIL SHAMAN SOLO GUIDE in my signature! (MOST VIEWS on Priest Forums only a few hundred to 30k!)

Half Elf Druid only way to go. So sick of Wood Elves and Halflings.

I like the Wood Elf look better than half elf but to each their own so apparently it is not the only way to go. Everyone has their own opinions.

Both wrong, halfling druid is best druid due to xp bonus. Your number one priority as a druid is leveling up.

Halfling levels the fastest. All other druids level slower so they can share second place.
