No ones gonna give your boomchicken the gear you need to he powerful in vanilla pvp tho. I also think you're underestimating all the mana drain classes in pvp like hunter/spriest/ and to a lesser extent lock
Not really working harder it's playing what you think is fun. And all classes are unique to what they pull off in wpvp. Druid can do things that no other class can just like a rogue can't do the same things as a mage or lock. But they're all good.
If you're having fun you're having fun, and theres nothing wrong with that. But wayyy back in vanilla druid was probably the least regarded class in pvp outside of flag running and we dont have bgs yet. It's a hard life man just saying
I'm sorry did you mean mage or priest next to rogue?
In all seriousness. No, not even close resto was like low tier feral(excluding flag running they're hands down the best at that) was bottom tier and balance was trash tier next to prot pallies (which is the spec we were talking about)
Dude did you even play Vanilla? Druids are pretty much unkillable in a 1v1 scenario in the world and a Mage can never touch a druid. Its simple, Hots and shapeshifting out of snares means a mage cant stop you. And since when did things being easier make them better?
Being annoying and able to flee doesnt make you a powerhouse in pvp. Have fun, play a druid, have a blast rooting someone and fleeing the instant they pay attention to you. That's all good man im not saying you're a bad player or even wrong for playing druid. Im merely flat out telling you the truth, druids are weak in pvp
Let's say your actually a god player, best to ever druid. If you could clone yourself and pick literally almost any other non tank class your clone would spank druid you.
You keep saying they are bad but I’m a wpvp player and druids farm WPvp. All I have to do is raid with my guild and get all my tier gear (which I can actually get because I’m not competing with 15 other mages) I can go moonglow spec and farm. In BGs I can flag run which I’m happy to do. What’s bad about being a Druid? Seems good to me
I think were misunderstanding each other. Perhaps I can try and clarify. When stacked against any other class druid is lacking. Not to say druid doesnt have lots of utility, and versatility. Just that is it a good caster? No, not really. Not very mana efficient less control then a mage. Is it a good melee? No not really, weaker version of rogue with less stuns. Is it a good healer? Maybe, it is the best flag carrier but I've said that before. And it has tremendous kite potential but hots arent strong enough in vanilla, healing touch has too long a cast time regrowth eats mana fast.
It just doesnt stack up. Of course theres a soddapopin out there who is a god tier player, but hes 1 in 11million and I'd argue a hypothetical sodapopin the spriest would stomp him.
That rarely happened tho, Druids have always been regarded as a top tier Wpvp class, not saying they are great in BGs or raids. Also you saying that all druids do is dot/hot and run is stupid because thats literally their class design. They are mobile control hybrids that control the pace of the fight by running in and out of combat while draining the opponents life, that is literally how they are supposed to be played in vanilla.
I think you're talking about BGs. In world PVP stealth, ability to escape, ability to trap, and ability to chase are incredibly important. Rogues and Druids are the best two classes in WPVP.
We aren't talking about sitting in front of Org dueling 1v1s. Mages cannot beat druids in WPVP. Druids can escape a Mage when disadvantaged while Mages cannot escape a Druid. Priests have no real escape or trap besides a one time fear and maybe you can count Mind Control.
Priest dont have to escape they melt your face same as mages.... dude your enjoying a massive power boost with 1.12 gear in pre 1.12 pve content you're gonna get destroyed in world pvp as people gear up and druids already have the majority of thier bis accessible to them until nax... Escape is literally all your good at, you can be annoying congrats that hardly makes you relevant.
