Celtic Heroes

This thread is hilarious.

You are saying that because a player can spend 100's of dollars/pounds on Restoration Pots, that makes an entire class unneeded?

It's a free to play game, and because it is, you have many more players not spending plats. And even those who do, have jobs and families and usually not an endless supply of money to throw into this game.

Come the update, you will have Bosses using AoE attacks on entire groups and unless yer asking for everyone to pop a restoration pot, that makes a Druid and their AoE Group Heal, pretty important.

But even without an update, the real world exists and if a warrior wants to spend 100's of dollars on pots, then that doesn't say anything about the Druid class. All it says is that a warrior is super rich. I think that Druid buffs are necessary for boss fights, and a good Druid or Druids make groups and clans successful. Far more than some super rich kid.

Hilarious in a dark humor sense maybe.
The problem is that there seem to be a lot of these 'rich kids' and they take away the few bosses from everyone else.
Some of them r nice rich kids and they even let us join for some support.
From my observation the use of restoration pots has become endemic and it at least bothers me and i know others, too to such a degree that we r looking at other games where that isnt possible.

I agree our clan chieftain has a Druid and that is the only Druid we use for boss battles

I agree. Druids are unneeded anymore. Between ks'ing, pots, and idols I've found we're left out. I'm hoping patch will do something for us, area heals will be nice!! But to compete in leveling we'll need more than that. Rogues have taken over our world. I'll laph if patch puts them in there place. Dps is for mages and rangers, give a rogue a trap to disarm!

The reason i stopped playing my druid is because it is the most unused class. If I am the only druid in a group killing deadroot what good can i do. Plus with all the ks going on most people dont even allow druids in groups because they need the "most dps possible" to beat the other group.

i am a druid, and probably will stay forever, but what other classes do with potions, why cant a druid take the sam advantage? a druid can not only use pots for soloing things like cata shiver ph's (placeholders) or deadroot phs, but can also stay in a distance and heal theirselves up. at least, i found my way to lvl 90 by soloing the whisps for warden weapon upgrade quest and use xp pots to get 30k xp each whisp. after 90 it decreases but it still works fine. a warrior has to use at least 10 pots to solo something like a skydancer while druid can do without them. and for druids ion bossing, let them waste money but they will see how many pots it saves to be abundanced, barked and embraced while ur getting 500+ heals too every now and then. druids are not a unneeded class, but just a pot-saver at the moment. so yes all that can be changed in the future is maybe a little more dependance. but in my opinion druids are a very powerfull class already and every side and every class has its pro's and con's. also it helps in lvling if the clan respects druids. about grouping is boss fights, that depends if u want clan to get the bosses then its no problem sacrificing a spot in group, i mean when i was lower lvl i had to leave groups all the time, now im 90+ i can do more dmg on deadroot then a lvl 80 dpser too so its not too bad.

druid lvl 92
rosmerta
clan epic

i m totally dont agree
In epona , i have create a warrior tank lvl 82 actually ( i have good stuff : heroic rejuv,gloves and bodkin of health )
with this stuff i just can join half of the boss fight and i havnt a bad reputation .
so i have create a druid ...
at lvl 39 : first boss fight : fellfire ! idk if that's because i have good stuff or they know me but after i can join almost all the bossfight ! (actually lvl 60 ).
1 day ago , for spearhorn full boss , i have come just for help and a people have leave the group for before i ask to join ! so , for me the most venerate and valuable class is druuuuid

Geesh Tea, he just asked a question, no need to be in such a bad mood. You get your period?

In general I agree what Tea said about druids. A few rich kids don't make a whole class useless. And druids will be more important in Update 3.

There isn't much point talking about a class in the current version without knowing the new version since the current live game won't be changed till update anyways.

Well this my way of thinkin im Z on mabon incase anyone didnt know or if u even care im a tank of one of the top clans on server and i almost always spam pots vs having 4 druids for some fights becuase the risk of being ksed its more common to have one druid and 5 rogues in my grp then anything if any druids i would like the game to be more balanced so u wouldnt have to use 4 druids for some fights but as of right now being a tank with almost 3k hp and full art gear for some fight u must use pots or have over half the grp as druids just my 2 cents imo bosses to stong or druids to weak u pick but the ppl running the game love that we spend our cash so doubt they fix it all the way

I think they are more necessary then rangers or mages.
Both have not as good damage as warriors or rogues (just check the leadserboards) and are not good in healing. Mages get also more useless through energy regen items, cause pre the last Update u always need a mage in group to get the other classes good energy (because they cant get something back while fighting so they cant use skills).
Now this skill and task of mage is absolutly useless.

And i think, if new heal skills and more ability (cause u can level to 130 or better, so 1300+ nature ability => about 800-1000 heal through only natures touch) while come with the update, a druid can heal much more then potions could do.

Only the balance through the classes warriors,rogues and druid,mages,rangers are bad i think. Rogues and Warriors are on same level much better then other ones...

I recently started this game and have been leveling a druid. I promised myself after the last few mmo's I played I would roll a warrior or something because game developers always seem to give them the most love or they are the most balanced in game design. For whatever reason here I am playing a druid. Maybe it's because almost every player I come across in game is a warrior and I didn't want to follow the herd. I've come close to restarting a different class several times. Part of it is because I could have a same lvl mob rooted down and damaged with lightening bolt, and a warrior five levels lower will come crashing into the scene, ks the mob, and get the xp for the kill. I'm rather new to this game so I don't know if warriors are overpowered or something or if druids are just weak. I'm regularly scanning the area to see who is around before I waste precious energy working down a mob. I even go so far as to go to an entirely different area to avoid people.

To answer the original poster's question, I wouldn't say druids are uneeded. I think that because this game is free there may be people who are experiencing their first mmo. I have run into a few warriors who have asked me what class I am because I wasn't a warrior...haha. I've experienced this same mentality on another free games. I've watched warriors choose to pot and still die rather than team up with me, which is insane. I think games in which you have to pay a nominal fee for access, there is a greater chance that the people playing may have a basic idea on how classes can compliment each other by working together. Of course you have people willing to spend money on pots once they have discovered their parents CC and are hooked on this game, but that can't last forever. At least until ma and pops grounds them and confiscates their ipad for some time

As I mentioned I am still new to this game. Will I start to run into a greater variety of classes playing the game after lvl 30? Is there a reason why I am mostly only seeing warriors? Any class imbalance issues I should be aware of? Is it true that adding points to focus doesn't strengthen casters (both mage and druid) spells? Just seems strange that if I were a rogue or a warrior I can add points to both strength and to skills and get combined greater damage output, but the cloth classes only get increased damage by adding points to skills...
