Druid is tops for a TON of reasons:
- Instant flight form, even while falling
- Can turn into 40+ different shapes
- Aquatic form for underwater content
- Tank spec
- RDPS spec
- MDPS spec
- Healing spec
- Faster indoor movement speed
- Self heals in combat
- Able to get the Leg staff from Firelands
- Specific NPC acknowledgements in Legion Dungeons
and the list just keeps on going. Aside from them slipping a bit in tank rankings, this class will forever be my main class. As soon as Gnomes can be druids, I am race changing and deleting every other character in my roster.

Druid because you can do most gathering and quests without leaving flight form.

I’m a bit confused if you’re talking about classic or retail.
Classic I don’t know.
Retail I roll monk, it works for me.
Most versatile I’d agree. Tank, Healer, Melee/Range DPS specs and some great utility.
Best is in the eye of the beholder. My most played is Paladin/Shaman.
If most versatile is your definition of best, then yes, it’s Druid.
But Druid is in the bottom 25% for me. Animal Forms aren’t cool. I want to see my character and even Glyph of Stars obfuscates it. And Resto is a HoT Blanket healer. I prefer having spammable AoE between CDs rather than a bunch of HoTs that constantly feel like they’re doing nothing even when they are.
Druid can do every role, but two of those roles are just dollar store knock-offs of other classes
Unless you play Balance or restoration you’re better off just deleting the druid and rolling the class they’re ripping off instead.
