Hey everyone! I thought I would post some ideas for some changes for the druid specialization. I enjoyed playing the class but it defiantly could use some major tweeking and uniqueness to it. It defiantly should be considered as more as a hybrid class than mostly a healing class as there are a majority of players that would like a balance between both offensive and supportive. Below are some ideas to make the druid a bit better in some little way possible. Hopefully this gets looked at and I defiantly appreciate the feedback, as I too will change some of the stuff here I’ve posted if anything seems out of place or too strong. Thanks in advance! ?
