Every Tuesday, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting druids and those who group with them, brought to you by Dan O'Halloran and David Bowers.

Every class has its pet PvP problems. Some whine a lot about how many times they've been nerfed; others just whine about warlocks. But most of these classes have a pretty clear idea about what they're supposed to be doing. Sometimes they whine that they don't like "what they're supposed to be doing" and would rather remake their class into something completely different -- but that's another issue.

Here's the generally accepted conventional wisdom on what each class is supposed to be doing in PvP:

• Rogues: Kick buttocks (by surprise)
• Hunters: Shoot buttocks (from a distance)
• Mages: Freeze and burn buttocks (and sheep)
• Priest: Melt buttocks (or heal)
• Shaman: Shock buttocks, drop totems (and heal)
• Warrior: Charge in and smash buttocks (with a healer in tow)
• Paladin: Stay alive (and heal)
• Warlock: Laugh maniacally (a lot)
• Druid: Mix and match your healing, damage absorption, and buttocks-destruction by being in the right form at the right time to do the right thing that needs to be done based on whoever is around you and whatever is going on at any given moment (lol wut?)
