How do people rate druids?

You must not be remembering classic-velious (really up to pop) very well.

People would sit LFG over using a Druid healer. I remember how frustrating it could be if you didn't have a warrior, cleric, and shaman or enchanter. A lot of that wasn't as bad as people made it out, but Druids/shamans on their own aren't great healers at all.

It's worst case scenario (they are great back-up healers).

This person wants a healer. If healing is what you want, you go cleric. Druids jobs as healers doesn't get much easier in velious.

I wouldn't recommend a druid as a healer. It's just not how everquest operates at this time frame.

I remember just fine. It seams that you do not. Did I say they were the best choice as a primary healer. No I did not. But they do have their place and they do do a decent job healing when geared and played right. Those that "Think" they have to have a certain group make up all the time will want just that. But those that are willing to try different things will do ok with a good geared/played druid in their group. They do have their place in the order of things in EQ up to this point and beyond.

Oh and with the invent of AA's with Luclin the druids got a big bump in their healing abilities. So it was before PoP that they had more stuff in their favor to make them better healers then with just gear. Nuff said. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
