[QUOTE="Herpes Cineplex, post: 1520462, member: 16936"] The only class I really don't ever want to play under any circumstances is the druid. It's not that the druid is a bad class from a mechanics standpoint. Far from it--they're ridiculously powerful and versatile and can do lots of fun things within the game, and I love it when someone else is playing one. Everything's cool with having a druid in the party, as long as I don't have to be the one who plays it. It's the druid philosophy that puts me off, really; who the hell wants to be nature's defender, anyway? Who wants to be off squatting in the forest living like an animal and being bored to tears when you could be in a city surrounded by exciting things to do and all kinds of cool NPCs to interact with? And yet, that's the druid schtick in a nutshell: loving all of nature to the exclusion of nearly everything else. Honestly, I'm gaming to have fun, and I wouldn't enjoy having to pretend to be [i]that[/i] devoted to the environment. I mean, at least you can urbanize a ranger to make them cool; then they're almost like a rogue who joined the Green Berets or something. But druids are so closely intertwined with the nature-loving mindset that you really can't do anything to make them more interesting to me. -- even paladins have more philosophical flexibility than druids, for crying out loud ryan [/QUOTE]
