If assembled correctly, a druid in melee can be as fierce as any class. My dwarven druid (4th level) has power attack and cleave as his first two feats. He'll have those 4 feats at 9th level (as well as natural spell - he is going to multiclass to fighter at 6th or 7th level) even though this loophole has been closed in that game.3.5 druids break down into three camps: Melee druids, spellcasting druids and summoning druids. The great cleave tree and combat reflexes will be popular amongst the melee druids. I doubt many melee druids will get to 18th level without picking up combat reflexes. Most of those will probably get great cleave as well. The spellcasting and summoning druids may look elsewhere, but melee druids get too much bang out of these feats to ignore them ...Though, I do think that a lot of people overlook the benefits of a whirlwinding animal growthed T-rex with a decent power attack going on .... (if you're in the camp that believe that the wildshape ability does not suffer the 15 HD cap placed on polymorph).</blockquote>
