My friend ran a 2nd level one shot last night, so I thought I'd try out the new druid.
After one fight I already felt like a controller.
I would use pounce to rush in and grant my rogue buddy combat advantage (for the record, druids are a rogue's best friend).
A couple of times I got surrounded, I then used chill wind to hit myself and everyone around me...knocking them all back while I then moved away. I also had thorn whip for a pull 2 (since I've seen how cool lightning lure is for a swordmage). Didn't get to use it, but I'm ready!
My daily is faerie fire, guaranteed 2 round slow, solid damage. Though I'll admit I took a long look at wind prison, I love how if your enemy moves it knocks all of his buddies prone.
And the fact that I can cast animal messenger 1 per day for free isn't amazing, but its cool. Btw....did I mention I had the highest perception in the party?
The druid is what the wizard should have been from the start, and I think the controller lovers out there will really enjoy playing one.
