[QUOTE="lukelightning, post: 5097502, member: 9745"] I play a wilden swarm druid as well (still level 1), and found it to be lots of fun. Yeah, the damage-reducing ability is great, but remember that it is only vs. melee and ranged attacks, not bursts, blasts, environmental damage (e.g. falling), damaging zones, auras, etc. I built this character to be a back-up tank, but since enemies couldn't damage me much, they just kept moving away (and out of my CA bug cloud) — so this resulted in me taking no damage my first two adventures! I, too, plan on focusing on beastform powers — unfortunately this works counter to two of the best at-wills (grasping tide and fire hawk; they both have secondary attacks that a druid might not be able to make in beast form... there is a big debate about this elsewhere). Note that the locust cloud power is not swarm-druid only, so any druid could take it. [/QUOTE]
