Want to play a Druid, but...

Wait I'm confused. Why wouldn't hybrids get groups? Does their xp penalty effect the entire group?

Druids are popular for many reasons but two stick out more then others. One is they are a great solo class. This is great for people with limited time to play because they don't need a group to get XP but are still welcomed to groups when a healer or harmony puller is needed.

Two is that they become an EQ ATM at higher levels. Porting for donation, power leveling for donation and eventually PotG for donation can make you a LOT of PP. So a lot of the Druids you see will not be mains. Many are around just to finance other toons and port/buff guildies.

I love the class and enjoy playing my Druid. But I also acknowledge that they are not very useful at end game which is why I play a Cleric. I love the cleric class too and that's one class no guild can have too many of.
