Necros laugh at bards. 3min root, screaming terror, Lich mana regen, actual in-battle healing ability all while still providing actual dps.

C'mon now seriously.

As for the druids, there's few things more glorious than having evac in a group, and the ability to get *to* a dungeon in less than 2 hrs to actually start XPing. Couple that concept with baby heals, regen (so very, very underrated), thorns, HP Buffs, STR for whiny melee, ghetto crowd control, invis, sow, and nukes. Believe me, a solid druid is a welcome addition.

My only real gripe with the druid class is their bear pet should at LEAST be bigger than the haflling casting it. Just Sayin'.

Eh while I haven't always seen eye to eye with Alawen calling him out for being bad at EQ/bad as a druid is pretty absurd. He's not lacking in any way in a) EQ skills b) EQ knowledge or c) giving his honest opinion about shit. Like 1/4 of everyone else on the server I've also got a 50 druid and I enjoy the class, but in a raiding sense (which is where this topic started out I think) they really are pretty meh because they are OK at everything and best at nothing.

The way it really busts down is the more people in the group the less use for druids - solo? awesome. duo? great. trio? solid. full group? ok. small raid? alright. full raid? zzzz

zzzz.. eh..? let me ask you... what role do Bards play in a full raid? Rangers? Mages? Paladins? Necros? SK's? Should we all just stay home and leave it to the 'important' classes?

Ridiculous... really...

And nobody called out Alawen, fyi.. he called out my entire class.. claiming that we had no useful role whatsoever in groups or raids.. which I dispute...

It's very apparent that you have a bias opinion, and that arguing with you is futile. I'm not exactly sure what you expect to happen here. Do you think the more you cry, the quicker people are going to change their minds? You aren't the only person in Everquest with a druid, I promise you.

The fact of the matter is that druids aren't going to be a make or break the raid/group class, but you could argue that the person playing the character can be. Realistically speaking, druids will get into groups and raids, but statistically they aren't going to be as powerful as pure classes.

This is an interesting world you live in where druids make the call on clerics getting groups.

If I grovel with your leet treehugging highness, do you have a spot for my ranger, monk or necro?

Pretty much everything Alawen posted in this thread read in my mind as tongue-in-cheek trolling.

Druids aren't bad, nor are they great. They are decent though. Can be just fine in a normal exp group, and spot heal on raids as well. Clerics heal tanks, shamans and druids heal everyone else. Also Druids are decent crowd control when they can kite adds.
