Druids have a class type now.Given that there's 25 classes in the game before HoFL came out, and each only carries four classes, it's mathematically impossible to cover every class in the short amount of books essentials has put out.  I don't think it's reasonable to expect it to happen this soon.While I do agree that runepriests, seekers, and hybrids need some more attention, that's not the fault of essentials really.  Unless they came out with a Divine Power 2 and Primal Power 2, it wasn't likely to happen under the old system either.The thing is... those classes are iconic, and the first essentials book needed to cover the basic four, fighter, cleric, rogue, and wizard.  You can't really have an introduction to the game without -that- starting line.  It's THE traditional starting party.  You have to start somewhere!Then for their next book, it's druid, paladin, hexblade, ranger.  Fighters that have a little bit of magic behind them.  All of them are physical attackers, but each of them supplements their assault with some voodoo of one kind or another.  Heroes of Shadow is introducing another power source, and I think they decided to go 'What make great masters of darkness for characters?'  It's a void the game has been missing, but it's also one that just doesn't lend itself to the primal or psionic power sources.  As well, a new class!I suggest to not worry about it so much.  A lot of essentials stuff really is new.  There wasn't a class that filled the same niche as a blackguard, a sentinel, a hexblade, the vampire, or the binder before.  Not to mention, they are going back and updating the old classes, starting from the oldest and working forward.  They're gonna do the PHB2 and PHB3 stuff eventually.  Just have to be patient.I'd expect some more primal stuff in the elemental book.  A sorcerer class type is practically guaranteed.  Give it time to come out.</blockquote>
