Druid: Game
built 614 days ago
The Druid is a shapeshifting hybrid class, and is ... one of the most versatile classes in the game. It is the only class that can fulfill all four roles in the game: Tank, Healer, and melee or ranged Damage Dealer. As with every other hybrid, Druids need to specialize to be effective in any role. Due to their need to shapeshift to fulfill roles, they can only perform one role at a time. Druids must switch between the different shapes in order to adapt to situations as they come.

The Druid is arguably the most unique class in World of Warcraft. Depending on your talent specialization, the druid can do quite literally every major job in the game: Tanking, healing, melee DPS, and spell DPS. As such, the three talent trees of the Druid are relatively self-contained to do whatever job you choose, and have some of the best talents in the game for your chosen role in each of them. Played well, the versatility of the Druid makes it an extremely difficult opponent to take down.

[S]ince the druid population is extremely low, there have been fewer examples of a well played Druid for other players to have experience of and emulate. In order to truly fulfill a hybrid role, druids require several complete sets of gear above and beyond any "resist sets" that most classes will possess. This is always expensive in time, bag space, and gold. Unlike most other hybrid classes, a Druid does not begin as a true hybrid with some abilities in each of their domains, instead they acquire utterly new branches of ability when they advance to certain specific levels. Thus a druid is only "complete" at comparatively high levels. This can make the very early game for the Druid more difficult than for other classes.
