[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7381647, member: 2629"] Recall that this thread is about how awesome (overpowered) the druid is. Not how it is a really great support class. Arguing it is merely a support class once you leave the first tier of play is agreeing with my position in this thread: The moon druid is strong at levels 2 through 4. Once you hit 5th and other classes get their big abilities, they fall back in line. By medium to higher tiers they fall behind. Even when they can wildshape at will and cast spells in wildshape, they're still on the lower edge of power - they do not have class abilities to augment their spellcasting and do not have the strongest spell list. Their animal forms are fine melee combatants, but are nothing compared to what we get out of a fighter, paladin, barbarian or other multi-attacker great weapon PC (or magic augmented PC) that is efficiently built and run. And they can also be glass pistols - they generally have lower ACs compared to their peers and may go down very fast in certain combat situations (despite having the truck of extra hps). [/QUOTE]
