Stopped playing Druid when they destroyed its class identity

Druid used to be my main class but I haven’t played it since 2021.

To me, druid has always been balanced with ramping, big minions and AOE spells.

About a year or more ago, Druid identity was taken away, leaving them with ramping and ramping and ramping. No big minions, no AOE, it became a Rogue like cult class. All mighty prince of the nature now become a sad person who loves cheating and hanging out with a cult of small minions.

It’s a very sad sad situation–most classes have kept their class identity but Druid (and Mage to a lesser degree).

If we were to pigeonhole every class into an “identity,” that leaves little room for change. Identities need to evolve.

What ???
The lack of decent AOE has always been a big Druid Weakness

He probably meant “aoe buffs”.

The only class identity that should not be allowed is greed priest.
