*sigh* Druids didn't used to have this rep...

I didn't mean to imply that *all* druids fell into the "agressively stupid"
category...In fact, a well played druid is extremely powerful...one of the most
powerful, versatile classes in the game. I have grouped with skilled druids
quite often.

But, it is that versatility that gets the bad (or uneducated, agressively
stupid...etc) *player* in trouble. Just because a Druid has nukes, does not
make him a nuker. Just because they have TPorts, does not make them a taxi.
But, a druid should be able to recognize just from group makeup what role
he/she is supposed to fill. similar to bards in that respect.

basically, noone ever says "let's add that [shaman, druid, bard, cleric,
enchanter, ranger] to our group because we need a nuker." None of those
classes are "nukers" but they all have DD spells/songs. (same with necros,
mages) Wizards are the only class in the game that you want "for their
nukes"...every other class has abilities that are a more efficient use of
*their* time, mana etc.

just to make sure that i sound totally like a broken record, i would take any
class played by a good player over a more appropriate class with a bad, or even
just an unfamiliar [to me] player.

I'm sorry, what was that last one? Don't eat pork? God has spoken. Is that the word of God or is that pigs trying to out smart everybody?"
