Druids are very solid, IMO. Their flower HOTS are very good and portal rituals are great. At some point you'll level dru or wiz fort tps and if you don't have a wis class already I think druid brings a lot to the table

The price was never an issue for anyone who isn't a broke boy. The problem is the maladaptive design effects that come from having P2W/P4QOL mechanics in your game. There is a financial incentive to make shit grindy and shitty and less fun to inspire people to pay for QoL. Everquest is already a property completely caked in the shit of MTX, so nobody is surprised. I just don't give any credit to the developers of such shit covered slop as 'artists' because their goal is obviously milking people for a few extra bucks vs making the best product they can. This is an ideological and moral complaint, not a financial one.
Look, you could order a pizza directly from in game in EQ2. What more do you want?

You just take a wiz & dru to 25 and move back to your primary trio. Doesnt take much time at all, especially when your wiz hits level 18 with Garrison's nuke.

You then get all the ports ever needed in Rituals. No reason whatsoever to keep the Dru in your main trio. Its a master of none for bringing anything unique to the table.

DRU brings DS, dots, nukes, snare, sow, and pac to the table. It is a very versatile class. WAR/BST/DRU would be capable of crushing most things.

This is me.

I plan on spending probably a good $500/month or so on Legends MTX. It's waaaaaaaaaaay less than the mortgage for my giant house each month, so I'm really getting great value. And I plan to buy the biggest, juiciest bags money can buy while all the brokey boys bitch and moan about my fat sacks.

Druid fills most caster roles, just not quite as well as mainline casters. I would say it's just as good a healer as shaman, but no slow. But as mentioned if you run enc/bst/bard/rog for slow I think druid is very competitive.

I will say that for the most part right now slow is a MUST unless you go cleric + defensive stance. Shamans getting slow AND heals is why everyone overlooks Druids at the moment.

Druid is miles behind shaman sadly. No slow, no pet, no puma, no canni. All it really gets over shaman is better nukes. They did a bad job on druid and ranger imo and really ignored most feedback on them and I think they will be extremely low pop classes.

for sure Druid and ranger and least played. I really wanted a ranger in the mix. My first trio was War/Pal/Druid and it can’t compete with Shaman or cleric 😢

They get a charmable pet in every zone except Sky. Blows the shaman pet out of the water.

Puma is OP and I expect equivalents to be added or for it to be nerfed. Its currently near 25ppm at 250 dex.

Giga track is slept on, seeing every mob everywhere on your map.

Ensnare, especially with harmony and the wiz/brd uninterruptible stance is very useful for stuff like Sky and Fear.

Druids also get stuns in this which can be huge if you have the spell slots.

What about skips? On THJ skips were all the hotness with classes like monk, rogue, bard....
No need for skips. Fear/hate/naggy/vox/yael raids have minimal trash. You spawn with 0-1 pulls away from minis or the final boss.
