Do you roll a Druid? It sounds very different but we take this opportunity to make mention of it in depth on request. Let us get down to it.
   When it comes to creating a character, World of Warcraft offers many choices in both race and class. The Druid class is the most challenging and most rewarding.
   You are able to play and fill several roles with Druid within the game. Gone are the days when the Druid is jack of all but master of none, but now it continues to grow and change, it is a major force to be reckoned with in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. More and more players are looking to take advantage of this previously overlooked class.
   Versatility is the very thing that makes the Druid such a fun class to play as well as the same thing that makes it hard to learn. In the game, most of the classes will have one job or role to fill in the World of Warcraft, but the Druid has several. In a situation where the Warrior has only tanking to worry about, or the Mage only damage, the Druid may play the part of damage dealer, spell caster, healer, and crowd controller all at the same time. Learning how to play a Druid really well involves patience, moment to moment situational assessment, the ability to prioritize tasks on the fly and the ability to be in the right form, at the right place, at the right time. Anyone can play a Druid poorly whereas it takes someone special to play one really well!
   Be it casually grouping for quests or running dungeons and instance, you will need to be open to what the group needs in a group situation. Will you be a healer keeping those around you in the fight? What about a tank or melee role romping around in the form of a Bear of Cat? How about a spell casting Balance Druid dropping spells all about you and leaving a trail of waste and destruction? If your main tank goes down you may need to pop into bear and stabilize the situation while the priest rezzes the tank, or if your groups mage gets wacked you may flip over into Moonkin and start dealing damage with offensive spells. You will need to switch your attention again if the Priest gets into trouble. Either will you help him out of the situation or more often than not rez the priest yourself. The good Druid will constantly be on the move, switching in and out of forms on the fly and filling in the gaps the instant they appear.
   For one thing, the Druid is a master on the solo hunting side. For another the Druid can be a one man killing machine with the ability to do it all from the damage to crowd control to healing. In fact, Druids were such an undervalued class in the past is the reason why there are so many top notch high level Druids running around today. When Druids were once forced to hunt on their own, they honed their skills in the wild. The players that could not play a Druid well solo eventually quit the class. With tons of practice at killing mobs and keeping themselves alive those young Druids that made it are now the masters running top end Raids, high end Arena teams and causing havoc in the battlegrounds.
