Description
Druids are a jack-of-all trades wisdom caster with strong healing and damage capabilities, and some very useful utility spells.
Stengths/Weaknesses
Pro
- Good heals (Mini-CH, great quick heal)
- Good buffs (PotG, Damage Shields, Regen, SoW, Strength, various utility)
- Good damage (Fire/Ice nukes, Magic DoTs, Pet)
- Self/Group Teleports
- Harmony (Outdoor-only AOE pacification)
- Snare to stop those pesky dungeon runners.
Con
- While druids can do many things well, they do not truly excel at any one role. At the highest level, clerics will have better heals, shaman will have better buffs, wizards will have better nukes, etc.
- No haste buff and only 15% slow makes them less effective in melee duo than Shaman.
- Most squishy of the priest classes
Grouping
A druid pairs well with nearly any class, and can fill various roles in a group. Added healing spells on IxiQuest makes them very viable group healers, or they can contribute good damage with their nukes, DoTs, pet, and damage shields.
Raiding
Depending on the raid composition, druids may fulfill different roles in a raid. Sometimes they might be tasked with healing their group or an off-tank, other times they might be focused on dealing damage. Their ports and evac line is always welcome, as getting everyone to the raid on time and moving the raid to a new location can often be a challenge. Their elemental protection (Circle of Seasons) is the best Fire/Cold resist spell available.
