So Wizards solo faster than Druids.. interesting since they both do the same exact thing.

Necro has always been undisputed champion of soloing for exp, Mage is completely OP right now and everyone knows it, and I doubt Enc is faster than Druid. I watch Encs come to specs and it takes them just as long to charm fight down the 4 mobs as it does for me to quad and med. Shaman I just know sucks balls exp wise compared to quadding cause I've played a Shaman.

Also, it's a lot different having to continuously play to get your exp (Shaman) compared to quadding where you fight for 2-3 mins and go AFK for 5-10. Gives you a lot of room to do other stuff than playing EQ while you grind which is great.

I guess what I'm talking about is more the situation once you reach level 50. I'm not sure, but I think that's what the OP is wondering about more here. Druids do level up faster, but come 50, that doesn't count for anything really. I'd say Shamans and Druids are on nearly equal footing in outdoors zones, but druids are fucking worthless indoors. And who spends a lot of their time killing shit outdoors at 50? Almost all the cool/challenging/lucrative mobs/camps are indoors. I can't speak for Kunark because I've never played it but I suspect that this is the case there as well.

You really think a druid quadkiting at like level 40 generates better exp than a properly-geared enchanter banging a dungeon? I don't think so.

Your primary method of soloing as a Shaman is either root rot or slowing mobs while you heal through it (which I think might be more of a torpor thing). So, Druids do the same thing indoors. How does that make them worthless indoors?

You have a serious problem with making retarded statements just like Talu said, "To say that SO many are better than a druid at soloing is retarded though." You take a tiny discrepancy and then turn it into this true/false statement. Is a Shaman better than a Druid indoors? Yes? Ok, then a Druid is now worthless indoors.

They both suck, play a real class like a ranger.

Ok yes, saying a druid is worthless indoors is an overstatement. I think you're too defensive of your class though. Are you 50? Let's go side-by-side soloing indoors. I bet you feel pretty worthless. Yes we use the same general strategy, but the rate at which I can kill things is much quicker than you. Most of the really niche things a druid can do soloing are void indoors. Yes you can root too, druid! But then let's see you kill that mob. Then let's see you do it again without having to med for five minutes. Say whatever you like, I say we put it to a test if you want to argue. Let's piece together an objective system of gauging the solo abilities of a class indoors. We can speculate and argue until the cows come home (I don't know how long that takes but I think it's a long while, possibly never). Druids aren't just a little worse indoors; they are a lot worse. And I'm not saying they're bad, I'm just saying they're not nearly as effective.
