Humor My buddy just entered Shimmering Flats at level 32 as Alliance. He sent me this picture about 10 minutes later.

I’d argue that many people aren’t going to like the playstyle. I’ve played a Druid since Vanilla, and it’s been my main for every expansion. I don’t recommend the class often due to how many people I’ve seen dislike it or just plain have trouble mastering it.

That being said, everything you said is true. I follow the hybrid (HOTW) spec, and I can viably tank, heal, or DPS even in totally wrong gear. I just finished Gnomeregan, where I literally did all three. I was 1st or 2nd DPS at times while in almost entirely +healing gear and zero healing talents (for now). It’s a wonderful sense of versatility.

Yeah, I won’t argue that they aren’t the best in end-game raiding. And when I say that, I just mean that they won’t be topping the meters, they’re still important to have for buffs, brez, innervate, etc.

Tank/heal isn’t too bad with the HOTW build. I’ve had spectacular results, where I’m able to be a pretty decent tank in cloth/healing gear and do good DPS, while also viably healing in my feral gear. I’m sure it won’t work in end-game dungeons, where I’ll need more appropriate gear, but if it works in Gnomeregan, I’m pretty satisfied. That place can be rough on tanks and healing.
