i disagree, a druid can go from dps to support without switching stats, get earthstone armour, amage rings and an offhand blade youre set, change gear for support. easy as that
Exactly pig! I can go from support to dps with just a switch of the gear.
Im a support druid with the following stats:
Str: 5
Dex: 5
Focus: everything else
Vit: 200
Natures touch: 30/30
Strangling vines: 30/30
Shield of bark: 29/30
Natures embrace: 29/30
Natures breath: 26/30
(Skills can increase depending on which rings im using)
My support gear is full spiritshadow w/ golden crown of wizardry, masters grimorie, 110 aggy book with nature magic bonus, hero ammy, energy regen bracelet w/10 per tic, major wyrm bracelet and various skill rings depending on the scenario.
Pretty basic support setup that gets me into boss fights and group leveling.
If i wanna go dps then its just a switch of some gear. Same as before except equip:
Golden blade of ice w/ no main hand wpn. I love the speed of h2h.
Golden severity helm
Heroic gloves
Drop the wyrm brace for a 6 crush dmg brace
And a couple of aggy dps rings.
My vines and and h2h does a great job at adding some dps. But how good is it you ask? I can solo most red phs including most of the gemholder phs (all but blade, shiver, rockbelly and deadroot.) I can also solo level on red horses in lava and dragoncults although masters do give me a hard time.
Now by no means is this a cheap setup... Quite expensive actually but it shows that druids can do both with the right gear.
A little off topic but does show how broken skills are when I found out a dps druid works best with h2h and dmg gear and doesn't need 2 outta 3 of their dmg skills...
Edited: And if i had more dps gear, i.e. earthstone and a couple more aggy dps rings, i probably wouldn't even need vines, the third dmg skill. Could put those points in abundance to turn myself into a mini tank.
