Druid left behind on update?

As far as I see the update, every classes were boosted on DPS... Except druid who only received one useless dot skill.

I know druid is a healer class and should not be able to out dps a rogue or even a warrior, however was druid boosted even on the healing skills? The answer is no. Natures touch does same amount of heal as before and so do the other skills. I thought the new skills introduced in the update might be a solution, but the new skills do not help healing directly.

We have taken couple of the new dragon armor bosses now and was able to gear up some members, but we have yet to actually "tank" the boss yet. We've been having to have to kite the bosses because of lack of heal. However, seeing about 1k melee attacks from 6* bosses, it seems like druids need to have some sort of boost in terms of heals.

That is the arguement. If Admin keeps this up, the way he is neglecting the druid class, I'm afraid
Many will leave, and the Druid class is the most important class to a group, especially a boss fight, let alone an experience group. We have been fighting away all those negative numbers for quite a bit, yet, Admin just ignores our plea, soon, I can see that Druids will protest and pretty much flood the threads. I already see so many complaints. I look at other class' threads, and see that only minimal complaints are made. The Druids' thread has so many complaints, like you don't even know!

What are u talking about! Stingy Swarm! Awsome dps skill! Adds poison dmg and awsome combo whit vines.
I don't like that they needed Druid healing in PvP, Druids are healers they should have their full healing

Only thing im unhappy about is being nerfed into combat mode from cast to cool down making sigils and meditate useless.

Rest i think is fab, use rescue and sanctuary constantly our new skills are great.
Also the Dragon armour is more class suited than frozen was with natures magic and skill boosts, liking it alot!

Actually Druids did receive a boost to their dps. Vines, lightning strike, and storm touch recieved a big boost. No boost on healing spells or buffs.

Only StormTouch, LightningStrike, and GraspingRoots got a boost. StormTouch got boosted 10% more damage and 10% more than the cost as IceShards, LightningStrike got a boost of 10% more damage, and energy 10% more than the cost of FireBolts, and lastly, GraspingRoots was boosted in cast length from 6 Metres to 8 Metres. The advantage to the boost with GraspingRoots is so that Druid Users would have a chance at first strike advantage. The only bad thing is thy it has a high chance of evasion from mobs. I can even show you a screenshot of what OTMWulver said in the Beta thread if you don't believe me.

StranglingVines did not get a boost of sorts. It has remained the same as far as I can tell, and so far as wht OTMWulver has given us information.

Through this, the Druid class is still broken, and not fixed properly as what Users what it to be.

From prev my vines did like 100-200 damage. It said in description that vines could do up to 300 or so damage They now do 300-400 damage. And now it says in description that vines can do up to 600 or so damage. Granted I have a royal vines ring that didn't show up on skill page prev to update 4, but 5 skill points wouldn't double vines damage. Pretty sure vines got a major boost as well. But I do agree that Druids are a broken class regardless atm.

I actually make a chart of my vines and strike damage before the update so i could monitor the damage increase.

Pre Update lv 35:
Strike: 1105
Vines: 642

Current lv 34:
Strike: 2249
Vines: 1281

So yes, I would say our skills got boosted. However note on the following:
1) I had probably additional 200 odd focus increase from new lux
2) All classes skills got boosted in dmg
3) Despite the increase in dmg, i still deal 700-1100 dmg on mobs due to resist and dmg fluct with strike.

Its depressing really, for our skills to do this low dmg despite the boost. Mobs are harder I reckon, tougher resist and more hp. So its a shame.
I feel bad for referring to the mages on and on but its a fact they were already a power house to begin with last update but OTM increased the gap further with 1) attuntments 2) Ice blast which is much better than ice shards.

Swam is ok i guess. Ppl may go * stop complaining* its * Poison dmg * No resist etc. Woo hoooo, NOPE. Its basically half of vines dmg and come one guys, be honest. CH is not a we can engage multi mobs at a go. Its standard one mob at a time. Very rarely do we actually got multi mobs.

Also, ice blase is meant for aoe dmg and yet it deals way more dmg than ice shards. So with that same principle, i rather than a aoe skill that is more powerful that strike / vines and yet still works the same principle as ice blast.

Again , note I am not aiming to nerf mages, I am overall happy for them but nonetheless feel left out as OTM boosted warriors and mages with the remaining classes semi broken. Druids definitely need a boost. Both in dmg and reducing energy cost! Nuff said!!
