Yeah, all that stuff is great, if you're full support. But I don't see why I shouldn't be able to temporarily switch to dps so that I can level efficientlytbh the complaints are a bit excessive. Druid was my first high level main, back in carrow update. Reached 190 faster than most warriors, rangers, and mages in terms of bars/lix. Definitely much cheaper too.
Yeah dps can be an issue, but if you're choosing to dps that's your choice to focus on an aspect of the class that is meant to be a weaker point. Do you see a lot of rogues complaining that they can't hold agro when they try to tank mordris? Or mages complaining their bandage isn't high enough to solo heal for proteus? Druids are made for healing, support, etc. They can dps too but it is very reasonable that their dps is worse than that of other classes.
Another bonus is the cost- both while leveling and after reaching endgame. Armor lix add what, 2-300 armor for rogues? Bark can add 4x more. Howling wind has the same effect as a def lix on steroids. Nature touch adds 2-6 pots worth of hp. If you're a pure caster you never have to use haste or attack lix either. Idk what prices are like on your world, but the extra attack, haste, hp, def, armor lix that a rogue uses makes lixing over 2x the price of a xp+e+travel that druids use. Not including the pot spam. A ranger or rogue uses haste and attack on every boss. Often hp+e as well. With sigils a druid uses no plat endgame. Is that not worth something?
Re: Class balance
#22As much as this would be nice, it doesn't help with slow levelingEasiest way to balance Druids; allow natures cast to not be interrupted by mobs.
Re: Class balance
#23I've actually heard of Druids being turned down when they ask to lix because "they slow me down" I have a 225 Druid and a 225 rouge and the Druid was more expensive and took way longer to lix easily. That's even using straight combos on rouge and soloing mostly. So ya there's imbalance with leveling Druids. And +1 to making storm touch ranged!

Re: Class balance
#24^Thats just an extremely stupid statement. When u always lvled with a druid u can save on stops to regain ur health and go all-out dps. All my alts Ive built them extra dps specifically to lvl with druids, and with Criminal I lvled to 220 almost all the time with only me (sometimes with another warrior) and 2 druids, both druids used lightening strike and vines and one had swarm, the XP was better than any other partner.

#26its not a stupid statement, its a fact druids will slow your xp down if your a high dps class like rogue.^Thats just an extremely stupid statement.

Re: Class balance
#27I've been turned down at least 20+ times while asking to lix. That's why Druids end up soloing, I remember having really clairvoyant gear and at around lvl 150 I got 0.5 bars per lix.

Re: Class balance
#28Those are pretty unrealistic situations, but have you seen a Druid complain that he can't carry lures or pierce lures with him/her in order to get into a damned lvling group? Have you seen Druids complain about not having smoke or expose to be a bit more useful on the dps side, distract to lose aggro, poison weapon to gain some auto damage, or even fast reflexes to pair up with their howling wind? No, no, no, no, and NO.Do you see a lot of rogues complaining that they can't hold agro when they try to tank mordris? Or mages complaining their bandage isn't high enough to solo heal for proteus?

Re: Class balance
#29just level in groups or dual log instead of complaining(very exaggerated complaining I might add) about something that will likely not get fixed, hardly anyone was thankful about strike becoming instacast they just complain about the next thing. improvise and adapt to find a different more efficient way instead of just saying how hard it is neglecting the fact Druids and soloing is commonly known to be slow.

Re: Class balance
#30Honestly we aren't exaggerating, you can only truly tell how hard a Druid is to lvl once you level one 210+. Somejust level in groups or dual log instead of complaining(very exaggerated complaining I might add) about something that will likely not get fixed, hardly anyone was thankful about strike becoming instacast they just complain about the next thing. improvise and adapt to find a different more efficient way instead of just saying how hard it is neglecting the fact Druids and soloing is commonly known to be slow.
of us don't even get into groups for lvling, and what if we don't have a second device to dual log?
