Breakfast Topic: Yay Druids!

by David Bowers Jul 11th 2007 at 8:00AM

We've congratulated and encouraged every class but two now, so the time has come to tell druids what we love about them! You know druids can do just about anything you might want them to, and very likely are seeing druids in prominent roles now more than ever before. Whether you play as a druid, with a druid, or against a druid, Elune knows there's lots to love -- but have you told your druid friend how much you love their druidic skills? Today's the day to say it! It's Druid Day and it's time for an encouragement innervate!

What do you appreciate most about the druids in your midst?

*sigh*

... and the bias against the Horde continues to sweep this blog.

The thing I love the most about druids is the dancing hands down dancing druids whatever form there in are the best especially the trees! /hug a tree today!

@1, if you're referring to the Elune comment...know your lore. Elune and Malorne hooked up and created Cenarius, who is basically the original druid.

I Love being a druid. I can achieve any roll without respecing, grind rep or farm with little to no down time, pvp will with ease (bash, cyclone, heal =P) and the lore of the druid wonderful. I can barely stand to play any other class without thinking "I miss my druid T.T" And grouping with other druids makes me feel like theres nothing we cant handle. And fighting a druid is always an endurence battle, the longest battles i usually have are against another druid ^-^

Best thing about my class is that they could fit any role in your party.

Good job blizard =)

Chris Jul 11th 2007 9:19AM

HoT, HoT, HoT

If a druid was the ONLY class in the game, 99.9% of the content would still be completely doable! Gotta admire the class flexibility of that.*

I tried to level other classes but I always miss my Drood, so I started a new one lol!

Teddy Tanking ftw!

*all percentages are approximate, your mileage may vary, this is not a guarantee

Hoofio Jul 11th 2007 8:45AM

think 1 might have been referring to the picture... nelf droods (as always)

confuses me cos taurens are so much prettier :P

Maybe Jul 11th 2007 8:48AM

I love my guilds druids so much i don't mind when they go running away with a mob or goofing off so I get drilled when they drop aggro. =)

Darkman Jul 11th 2007 8:57AM

Druids suck in every way. They can be reasonable healers, reasonable tanks and reasonable dps but never great at any of these. Do yourself a favor and choose a different character if your starting out - and to those who already have a druid I feel sorry for how useless you really are.

Darkman.

Rhys Jul 11th 2007 9:01AM

Sounds like 9 lost his tanking/dps/healing spot to a druid!

Greta Jul 11th 2007 9:14AM

I love PvPing with a warrior as my druid. Hamstring + cheetah form means nothing touches me and I can keep my buddy alive. :)

cpsethgt Jul 11th 2007 9:27AM

Here's a story!

I was in a PUG doing Mechanar. We were in the middle of the Nethermancer Sepethrea fight when, for some reason or another, the Warrior tank died. Thankfully, there was a Feral Druid in the group who was geared for DPS. As soon as he saw the Warrior die, he quickly shifted out of cat form and into bear form, and tanked the boss for the rest of the fight without a hitch.

That kind of flexibility is impressive!

KitKatDruid Jul 11th 2007 9:42AM

HAHAHAHAHA

WoWinsider?

Bias AGAINST Horde?

LAWL.

But seriously.

KitKatDruid Jul 11th 2007 9:43AM

Oops, it cut off my comment. *heart* druids. I've played both resto and feral, and grouped with all kinds, and I'll tell you...they're amazous.

Maybe I'm just biased. ;)

Cylentrain Jul 11th 2007 9:46AM

Druids are great, in 2 years have not managed to level any of my other alts due to lack of interest in other toons and the fact that respecing is much easier than grinding another toon :). One thought of note, though. It is a shame that the alliance druid only has 7 forms to change into, while the Horde is empowered with the 8th form. Cow Power!

Prester John Jul 11th 2007 9:47AM

"They can be reasonable healers, reasonable tanks and reasonable dps but never great at any of these."

BWAAAAAAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ahahahah
ahaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahaha

heh. *cough*

Seriously, bear tank says hi.

jess Jul 11th 2007 9:59AM

I play a druid for my main and I love love love tanking with her.

hunter Jul 11th 2007 8:23PM

As a 70 druid, I may be a bit biased, but the druid class is one of the best hands down. I have a 60+ tank warrior, and 60+ Tauren Shammy, and a 56 holy priest as well as every other class into at least the 30s; so I have played a toon or two.

I can solo almost every Azarothian instance that is not a raid, I can sneak in an steal almost any quest item from anywhere, instant flight form in mid air is still a blast to do. Actually had a friend running behind me when I jsut ran off a cliff and shifted into storm crow in mid air....he was not as lucky since he thought there was a ledge I was landing on and had a nice fall.

Oh wait and I rezed him at the bottom and snickered a little. =0)

And lets throw in some cat falling goodness allowing me to kite mobs from up high to my party waiting below with minmal damage.

And we can hold thee mob agro much easier than a warrior....and yes I have a 62 warrior tank and I still say it.

And on top of all this goodness, while I am DPSing in cat, I can drop form and assist in healing. Or Lord forbid the tank goes down, I can drop form, combat rez(Still the only class that can do that) and then go into bear to tank and hold the mob while the warrior cleans out his skivies!

@9...here is a nice quest for you....[Lvl 1] Get a clue!

Yeah...love me some drood

Seraya Jul 11th 2007 10:41AM

I love partying with druids, especially feral druids for Leader of the Pack. Nevermind a druid is able to pop out and do any role, even temporarily. Name another class that with a button press or two can switch among tank, melee DPS, ranged DPS AND healing.
