Heh actually I have done my research I've talked to quite a few druids plus
some friends I have. Even one of my lower level friends level 35 is begining
to find that they are useless. Greater Healing is a laugh at levels 35+,
there dd spells are usually resisted in high level dungeons in fact a lot of
fire based spells are resisted in high level dungeons. I've also spoken with
a two level 50's on my server and I know for a fact that they leveled off of
guards, giants, and griffins. For the most part you can't do dungeons like
Solusk B or deep into lower guk without a Cleric. One thing you almost
always have is a Wizard in a high level group for dd spells, a good
compliment to the Wizard is a Necro also with a 500 damage dd spell and a
nice variety of extremly powerful dots. Anyway you usually have a Wizard and
a Cleric with you in those dungeons so what's left for a druid? The party
escape spells are used by a Wizard and the healing dealt by a Cleric. There
really isn't a use for Druids at high levels being a utility man is not very
useful when you need specific things done. Although the Elemental planes
will help out a lot in making druids more wanted along with a cold based dd
spell identical to their fire.
