Druid probably has the highest skill ceiling of any class. Despite them not having as many abilities in each form. You still have to know how and when to use them. For instance they can’t make mistakes like rogue and then just vanish reset. And they don’t hit near as hard as warrior. So what they do have is the ability to kill you slowly over time while kiting and healing themselves.
But it is not easy.
I’m not in for a shock at all. Yes they can run away easily. But all I did was PVP during vanilla . Druid players are no different than any other class in that 80% of them will be casual players who won’t maximiZe their classes potential. Now why does this matter? Because a badly played druid is far more punishing than nearly any other class.
And I will restate me position earlier. A WELL played druid is very good. But you shouldn’t pitch that as the average player. Unless they are aware and willing to put in the time and effort to truly master druid.
