It goes from the class that can solve any problem themselves to the class that can solve most problems as long as they are in a biome with an aproperiate animal type.Of course you never negotiate with an animal in 5ed. You never need to. And the DM never plan on interesting animals for you to run across, as the chances are you will either just ignore it, or kill (, loot and eat) it.Make the druid the social manipulator of animal kingdom, then they still have enormous problem solving utility as they can seek out and ask the relevant animals to do their dirty work and expect them to comply if it is reasonable. For tiny forms this is covered by the familiar. It hands more control over to the hands of the DM, but that might be exactly what the utility part of this class needs.Edit: the duration is also essential, as by this makes the speaking with single type of animal last a lot longer than the spell, supporting more complex operations.</blockquote>
