As a ancient fossil among Druidkind, I went through my oldest hardrive and found that I was missing some key aspects of Druid history. Most notably pvp videos of non-restoration Druids in the Vanilla era. Does anyone have any copies of some Balance and Feral Druids who dared to push beyond the generic healer role assigned to the class since day one? That dark era before “John freaking Madden” Wrath when Druids really took off?
One I remember off the top of my head is Derek of the Serenity Now Guild of the Illidan server. Does anyone else have any documentation of the Druids of old?
Ferals took off in TBC pvp, long before Madden (which was mostly a PvE meme).
As for Vanilla… I recall a feral named like Renya or something who was on an asian server that used to be very good.
Honestly Druids as a class didn’t take off until TBC, and it was mostly Restoration after a huge feral nerf because bear tanks made prot warriors feel insecure. Before then we were the least played class next to warlocks.
I was talking to someone about those dark times when I noticed many videos which were one Youtube disappeared. Old videos back then need to be preserved.
Crank dat druid boy!!!
Joking, meme video. Every button moonfire

Not the best PvP video, but this is the one I always think of for Druid PvP in Vanilla.
