Druid or shaman?

Which is more fun and why?

For me - Druid. 4 specs, different forms, on my healer I am always always always hitting insta-heals/dots.

I have a lot of Druids and Shamans tho, I have 1 for every spec and then extras. So I love both, but Druid is my original main :person_shrugging:

I am personally more attached to the flavor that Druid provides, but I always play my Druid and wish I was playing something else.

Personally, Boomkin never clicked for me. It’s great and all but it’s never made sense to me. I prefer Destro lock or ele shaman.

Healer wise, I think Resto shaman is way better than Druid and is more fun to play. More tools in the box for me.

Melee wise, I like feral Druid but I think Enhancement is more fun and more fun to look at when playing. Unfortunately the appeal of being in animal form ends at just being in animal form, bear and cat animations are just so boring compared to other melee toons.

Imo Shammy is where it’s at.

Rdruid no longer has tree form, so Rsham wins.

I dont really get Druid. I like Resto, but Feral is a crap rogue, and boomkin is w e i r d. Id go Shaman. Youre a lightning wizard or a bezerker.

As for healing, that depends on if you like totem management.

I really like Shaman because it has a lot of buttons to press. As a resto shaman you always have a cooldown or a trick to use. It’s very rare i feel like i run out of options.

Druid, because a druid can be an elf.

It depends on what you’re trying to play. For DPS I would go shaman but I absolutely despise Resto Shaman healing. So tank/heal goes to Druid for me and DPS to shaman because Boomkin and Feral are miserable to play imo.

Why is it miserable as dps?

I don’t enjoy the way either spec plays in the slightest. Like some other guy said, Feral just feels like a crap version of a rogue and I despise Boomkin from a thematic standpoint and just think the solar/lunar mechanics are terrible. There’s nothing I like about either spec.

Shaman DPS is super fun though and feels very satisfying to play when you smash a big flashy button and yell LIGHTNING BOLT!

It seems shaman is winning for siginificant difference

Hard to say. Both are good in their own way but, in my opinion. I’d say Shaman.

Druid.

They’re both fun in instanced content.

Nothing even comes remotely close to druid in open world.

DPS Druid is almost as boring as BM Hunter. Healing wise, it depends on whether you can get used to HoTs or want a reactive healer.

Open world, Guardian Druid wins 100% of the time.

Druid, no contest. It has access to every role in the game, including both melee and ranged forms of dps. So, 4 specs total. Plus, you can turn into cuddly forest critters.

I guess the only drawback is that, because it’s 4 roles into 4 specs, you’d better like the playstyle of a given spec or you’re not going to enjoy that particular role as a druid.

PS: The correct answer though is this: Neither. Play a monk instead.

Shaman doesn’t make you play a fat chicken man or a washed out blue smudge, so there’s that.
