      If you can hold on, the warrior us a sure fire invite to every dungeon if you spec tank. B3st is having a pocket healer, like a Druid to level with.
      Tauren have the biggest hit box in the game as well.

      @Saatana This is a fifteen year old game and it isn't only about raiding. Even if you do care about raiding druids are descent healers. Unless you are always in a group, or have a pocket healer warrior sucks. Warriors are the best tanks and great dps but struggle doing pretty much anything solo. The only reason that somebody would regret rolling druid at cap is if they only care about topping the dps charts.

    Just a down side for Druid: Some abilities require to be outside to use it. Ex:Root, travel form.
    The cat form also loses its movement speed while its not outside.
    Its a little bit frustrating sometimes, but hey you get dash a little bit after and its kinda okay :)

    Forgot to mention the whole vibe and lore of becoming one with nature, and drawing on its power. It vibes well with herbalism and skinning. While leveling you feel very self sustainable: You can heal yourself, you're not gear dependent, and you're living off the land.

    Before cat form its painfully slow, it almost made me quit when i also tried a hunter and rogue, but after that it really picks up.
    Stick to it guys and push to 20 at least, it gets so much better.

      With druid you can spam skills and go oom every single mob or stay in bear form and whittle them down slowly and it really is slow, probably the slowest off any class at lower levels.

    • @beansthirtythree5894
      @beansthirtythree5894 5 років тому +1

      @Brian No one said it's hard, there is a difference between hard and slow.
      I dont use leveling guides, but if you are bringing that up the most active druid speed runner with the fastest times goes to Darkshore at level 10 and is doing level 13 quests at level 11.
      I rather enjoy the game than follow a strict script and even if it's faster with green quests it will take longer, because lower level mobs provide much less exp.
      And yes the druid will still be slower than most classes even with green mobs below level 20.
      Might not be the slowest but all pure dps classes will be much faster.
      So your argument is, bear leveling or spamming skills and going oom is really fast?
      And dont argue it's a learn to play issue with the 3-4 active skills you will use killing mobs at that level.
      Point is cat form makes it a breeze and much faster and people should stick to druid to at least level 20 before giving up.
      And that is the consensus of a lot of people and a lot of guides, not just me.

    I never played Vanilla so I can't say, but BC may have been the best expansion. Why? Druid got flight form if i remeber correctly.

    The "the druid can slip into any role on the fly" doesn't work in practice because of the gear sets you're wearing.
    Once you're in combat you're stuck with the gear set you're currently wearing.
    Each role you can theoretically fill (tank, heal, spell dps, feral dps) requires a completely unique and separate gear set.
    1) you probably wont have the gear for all those roles but probably 1-2 different sets and 2) once you're in combat you're stuck with the role you play
    Also the spec plays a huge role and you basically commit to one single spec until you spend a lot of gold to change it.

    later on with flight form, druids are hands down 100% the best gatherers bar none. Every other class in the game has to dismount and then mount back up again after gathering, druids just swoop in grab and swoop out. Over time this makes them waaaaaaay faster at material gathering.

    Idk if you’ll see this but here’s my situation. (Only ever played legion and BFA)
    I currently main a disc priest in retail so I want to play a melee class in classic, I’m currently a lvl 10 Druid w/our bear form.
    I’m debating between feral Druid and warrior. Cuz apparently warrior is better for dps but really hard to solo and level as. I don’t want to do rogue I don’t think cuz I hate being squishy. Druids level well and have utility but I don’t want my dps to be trash cuz I’m not a fantastic player tbh.
    TLDR: Feral Druid or Warrior?
    Any help would be very much appreciated

      so somehow Devs are right '' YOU THINK YOU MISS CLASSIC '' but you DONT ! coz you have seen it all and you are playing for the objectives and game is not hey magical world of adventures and mystical places but just the OBJECTIVE Based, GRINDFEST like Path of Exile / Diablo but there is only 1 element that stays fresh and it is WORLD PVP

    all decent reasons, however from a PVE perspective Druids are next to useless in far lategame.
    HOWEVER on a pvp server clever raid groups will bring a lot of druids purely for the information and scouting out other faction groups, especially since they simply cannot be caught, have stealth, and extremely fast water movement.
    Info is the most important thing for large scale open world pvp and in vanilla/classic getting the opening hit on another group is all that it takes to win most of the time, and the last thing you want is an opposing faction getting the drop on you and deleting all your world buffs.
    Having said that, I feel sorry for anyone that made a druid on a PVE realm. Really missing out on the most interesting aspect of the class and the late game is abysmal

    • @im50yearsold
      @im50yearsold 3 роки тому

      ​@O K
      In vanilla Druids are absolute garbage.
      Main tank? No use a warrior
      Off tank? one of your 14-22 fury warriors can do it while not being a waste of a raid slot. Resto isn't much better, HoTs are a waste of a buff slot and Shaman/Pally or priest are significantly better healers than you. Moonkin is a joke
      You basically exist purely for mark and innervate and nothing else.
      PvP is kind of fun though but also lacks the burst.
      At least in TBC they're shown some love, very good class there

      @@Bleilock1 Nothing you said has anything to do with Druid's position in the class balance during phase 1 of classic. Furthermore, you instantly resorted to ad hominem and e-peen measuring, thus proving my point, made you feel not as bad for picking a Druid isn't it?
      Vanilla WoW was never a balanced game, everyone who has even a minute experience of playing the game knows this, and for phase 1 of classic, Druid unfortunately got the short end of the stick, alongside ret Pally and enh Shaman (this last one's arguable due to WF). You can make any excuses as you'd like, but that just how it is in Classic, at least until p2/3 comes.
      Bear has nothing to offer over Warrior tanking, Resto Druid has nothing over Priest/Shaman/Pally for healing, Balance druid, in retail, sure, in classic, meh, why would you pick one over mage/lock/hunter for dps/cc/utility. These are just facts, Blizzard only realized that Druid's primary strength of flexibility is not enough long time later after vanilla, and it has nothing to do with preferences/playstyle or even player skill.

      @UCE6qtOmQvMTI7M6DUWFwDUg lol, trying to sound smart when its judt your skilcap that is the problem
      No need to use words like ad hominem, you obviously dont understand what it means, because you accused me of it and i didnt do it
      I have pointed out just the simole truth that only a noob would say what you fif, and i have pointed out your own bias, just because you suck with druid, doesnt mean class is worst
      Im assuming youbare mage
      Or hard counter warlock(in this case all i need is shadow resist gear to beat you)
      And if youbare mage dude, you prolly suck with anyclass because mages are noob magnets for people who think that 4k crits are what makes a class good on this game, ineat mages for breakfast
      If youbask, whybis it hard to admit it, but you go accuse peoplenof ad hominem, which you dont even know the meaning of
      Git good scrub, stop crying, druids are one of best classes in the game you can actually play, period
      Ps druids hold aggro 5 times eaiser then warrs, and they can tank naxx all the way to saphiron, i even know people who tanked KTz
      All you just said is straight out rubbish and noob lies rofl

      You do realise people have come long way from the shit you say
      I was second highest healer in last nights MC, and i have shit gear, second only to priest friend, both shamans and second priest had less healing then me, and i wasnt even pure resto, but heart of the wild (feral spec) git good scrub
      Its you whi has nothing to bring to the table, druid of all classes probably has to bring the most lol
