I usually end up making them elves... dont know why. but out of all my druids since i first started i think ive made 4 elves, 2 half-elves, 1 halfling, and 0 humans.

I just wanted to know what most peoples druids are, and why. Im rolling another halfling right now (have been for 2 days.... good lord is it frustrating... thats probably why i started the poll)

[Epic]

I've only used 1 high lvl druid (for the most part) and i'd have to choose human, he seems to work rather nicely and plus 80% of druids are elves..so i get a small originality bonus

[Ork]

yeah i noticed that most all druids were elves... i think thats why i made my first crit one

/me thinks he might make a human druid...

I originally started off with a Human Druid, on the assumption that I could sacrifice a Wisdom point for extra Strength and Constitution... but Elves seem to be better, probably due to their damage bonus when used in the forest. Otherwise, if you like Stormwrath, then the Elves' extra Wisdom point can go a long, long way!

i had 2 extra wisdom items on my druid at one point and it didnt make nuts for difference

[Shane]

I have tried humans, half-elves, halflings and elves for druids. My first choice is the halfling, they seem to hit a little more often than the others, this is followed very closely by the elves. I trained 2 druids at the sametime, one being a halfling and the other an elf both 4-5 stats. The halfling just seems to hit more where the elf misses once in a while. The others dont seem to do as good as a halfling and elf.

I have chosen a elf, but only cause I grown to love elf druids. Since I trained an elf druid to master and soon to be arch, I also decided to make a halfling and human druid. Those two are lvl 19 atm and I think they're coming along quite nicely.

So I own 3 elfs all 5 stats and they are only off on intel.
I would like to get a 5 stats half elf, but not alot of half elf druid around and very rew are 5 stats and only off on intel.

[Exor]

halfling here.i like the extra dex alot more than wisdom.

[Bean]

Elfs.

More wis=more mana=more stormwrathing before morph.

[Avenging_Druid]

Normally I would have said elf. But my vote went to human druids instead...
Just seem to be a well-rounded druid, plus the 11 hp gain is really nice.

[Wisdom]

I trained a 19 x 19 19 19 19 human druid to lvl 19 and not once did he gain 11 hp. I ask epic about his lvl 30 druid 19 19 19 19 18 and that druid only gained one or two 11's and that was after reset.

[Avenging_Druid]

I think you have had some bad luck then...

Cable has had 9 ~ 11hp gains and 11 ~ 10hp gains

[Despair]

I also have only used elves so I can't really compair. I'd love to know how a decent halfling matches up at archmaster, maybe when I get round to it I'll train one up

[Wisdom]

I own a lvl 20 druid 18 x 21 18 18 19. I will hope to get him arch with in a week. Now that I got wisdom arch I can spend I alot of time training my other druid. If you like I could keep you inforumed about my halflings hp?

[Goldfish]

hlings are the best
/who stitch
so sexy...
ive dueled stitch with my arch zerker and got raped (of course chris did have his cobalt equipped )

hahha GL, it took you like 2 months to get wisdom from 28 to arch if not longer..

[Kalados]

Elf. They are like that more often than not in fantasy tales either that or human. Besides the stats rock.

[Heat Wave]

The only crit that I have right now is an Elf Druid. I picked the Elf for my Druid because they seem to have to best stats for using magic.

[Oasis]

I like my elf druid, it is getting great hps so the 18 con is not a prob. (235hp at 24) 18 x 19 18 20 20.

[Oasis]

Crime is getting sweet hps, 235 at 24, 18 x 19 18 20 20, And is overall good at morph/sw/hps so I would vote elves. I don't think the -1 char will hurt him too bad at arch.

[Oasis]

Crime gained a 10 to 25 =) so hes at 245 right now.

[ßäРߣðøÐ]

hling..ijust like em better

[Eternyte]

hahha GL, it took you like 2 months to get wisdom from 28 to arch if not longer..

ROFL...I think it might have been longer than that. Everyday I logged on for that period of time "I'll be arch in a few days" Day1: 128mil exp (got pked), Day 10: 131mil exp, and so on and so forth. Day27: 145mil exp, "yeah my umm...computers crashed for...umm... a week"

[Oasis]

Yep still digging elves, lvl 27 almost 28 263hps.

[The_Final_Climax]

Humans. Always liked um' - and the 5% increase on Humans makes the training go abit faster.

[trigger happy]

well i have had no lvl 27+ druid yet for some reason but i have had a lvl 26 halfing lvl 24 human(got atm moment 19 14 19 19 19 19 /flex) and ive had elf 18 10 19 18 20 21 and i got a elf right now with 18 21 19 18 20 11 not sure which i like...but halfing hits harder with damage and it owns with morph..but elf makes up for that and i think owns a halfing cause they can allways use armor spells(halfing can also but takes 5 minutes before able to cast again lol) and other spells and hits what over 60's?..which is good enough..also like humans they seem to be the best druid for allround..cause they hit nice with morph...not bad at all with stormwrath and get the +5% exp..which helps a little lol...not sure which i like most so i didn't vote..but my first was a h-elf and wasn't bad either lol

[Gaddy]

I like Everlast, not really worried about there being anything that much better.

Wis- I don't see a point in making an elf have 23 wis and 23 char, I prefer human with 21 wis and 21 char....around 20-21 is where you basically stop fizzling anyway, much less at high level very rare fizzles. I don't stormwrath anyway, and he's only moshed 1/2 times.

Dex...druids never miss while morphed...never missing really takes off about half of what dex is worth, I suppose if you're going to have 3 people take rounds at your druid, having high dex is nice....Personally I like keeping things at least around 19 dex....TK likes to try to kill my 18 dex stuff and miss my other stuff.

Cons- I haven't seen that much of a difference in hp between 18 and 19 cons, just like rangers. The 11s aren't common enough to cause them to end up with more hp than 18 cons, Everlast has 296, I know of at least 2 elves with higher. (darla and howie)

Str- I have never really tested str, think it's pretty key since I always use morph. When I trained Everlast from 22m from arch to arch in a night, I used Gaunts of Virtue, Cobalt, and dex items....he could his sand vipers for 142 w/ hance and rf (something like 33 str. He practically never missed/full armor absorbed..seemed like maybe 10 times in the entire 22m training...I'm sure I must've just not seen or something...).


Anyway, use what you like, items you choose are really what decide how your druid turns out...or you can choose to go full dex and use ling with dex mods, or full wis and go elf with wis mods, but I think that's just focusing on moshing or 1v1...I don't swing that way so I like balance.

[Satan]

You mean when Poison trained him from like 1-30 for ur gold lol.

[combusta]

I find that humans are the best they are getting the extra 1 to cons the stre and you dont need mana that much because of hawk talon when you are on a high level.When you have a druid human u always gain 10 MP a level which means u can gain about 320ish MP then when you stormwrath and use hawk talon you jack your mana back


my druid gained 6 11's and 4 10's in Hp and on level 27 he has about 267HP and 279 MP


with him ive dueled people with cobalts and owned them mainly because of my HP with two less stamina

/who electron

[Mec]

Dex doesn't matter to me much.

I trained a 19 19 9 19 19 19 (OUCH!) druid to level 15, it worked as normal pretty much. I just stormwrathed overmuch.

Today I bought monk (I like the name, too!), a h-ling druid, but my vote still went to human
