Yrck, it's strange.. You seem to think that Druids should be able to regularly out DPS rogues and they really shouldn't.
You act as if Rogues were in the spotlight during update 2.. And I agree they were.. As the best DPS class. That's how it should be.
To say Druids were useless is naive IMO. If you were in a half-organised clan then Druids/tanks would make a group and DPS make a seperate group, and then find a better way to share the drops such as a list of who gets what next.
Maybe I'm just a bit different when it comes to wasting plat items as I don't feel the need to when you can take without.
Rogues are different, they're not support, they don't want a support role, they want to be the top DPS as traditionally, they are.
Indirect is covered - as is tank... Why would we want to take another classes main role? What would be the point in a warrior if Rogues could tank BETTER than them?
Also - you don't have to go an extreme build... You keep the same stats and if other Druids around you have all buffs covered, all you need is Natures Touch anyway, and optionally Natures Breathe. Maxing these 2 out at 35/35 would leave you with 82 skill points if you were level 150. That's maxed Vines and Lightning with 14 skill points left over, but you could easily drop breathe for storms if needed.
Rogues have a main role and at the moment, others are too close to competing with it.. That's why they need a buff. I wouldn't exactly say they're underpowered, but the strength plateau and weakness of skills really don't help the matter.
i seem to think druids should be able to do decent dps, and finally a good geared druid with extreme stats (no buffs or vit) can beat some regular geared rogues (frozen dagg, chest, legs, haste gloves, blood helm, good offhand, prince ammy of 75 dmg or earthstone one of 100 dmg) on several occasions, unless they heal as well. rogues with earthstone, 15 pierce neck, agg brace and 7+ pierce brace is no match for me tho. they destroy me. i have been lucky on agg so far with minimal deflections and one time a 11 magic lure and one time a 35 magic lure i believe. both times also a pierce lure of 30 ish was there. housecat was not on haste elix, just gloves, so no extra attack from gloves nor extra speed from lix, i prolly had luck with random number geenrator while housecat didnt. 2nd time i had 35 magic lure, and again not too much delfections, presmagic had c=wrong rings on first 20-30% of kill, wizardonion had h2h dmg, rangers where builds with too much vit IMO and only rogue in grp (redishwolf) was lvl 150 with frozen gear, not even earthstone nor agg brace nor 7+ pierce dmg brace nor good dmg neck. so yea i can outdps a not so good rogue, woohoo. can i outpds brookie on no haste with 30 magic lure and 30 pierce lure? no way, maybe if im lucky with generator again, but i am not so close so id have to be lucky while brookie being unlucky, can i beat presmagic if he has right gear on and tries his best with pots etc? no not at all, hes way too good. can i beat a ranger of lvl 156 with great gear? yes cuz his build is mostly vit, due to the solo lvling he does on mages in cave. believe me there was nothing special about my kills, but it does show a good dps druid with great gear and build could give brookie without combo lix a good fight, with combo again brookie wins. also on short fights we druids cant get kills easy, as my dps on short fights is big time decreased if any of my skills deflect, so 1-2 time deflect costs me kill on all low bosses pretty much. only ow bosses easier to get kill, as i can make up my deflections then.
