healers are fun to play if you like listening to people crying you didn't heal them when they're running around out of range.
Everyone always underestimates Nature Druids spec line. Just sayin'  I only had it specced up to where I had the adult lynx, but with that and my RA's I was able to lure in soloing stealthers who would try to kill me quite a bit. Most of them tried to run away after a few minutes of not being able to kill me, and I would hunt them down with my pet and finish them off. I had:
- A DOT
- Procs all over my gear for healing me and damaging them (my sword even had procs on it, so while I couldn't do any styles I did do some damage lol)
- Two insta heals
- An insta root that allowed me to back up and heal myself while they stood there
- My pet who used to follow them if they tried to vanish and who acted like an incurable DoT that they usually ignored because they didn't think it was very strong
- A buff that did damage to them
- MOC so I could stand there and heal myself when they were attacking
... it was pretty funny.
The same tactics worked in the field because everyone knows you go for the healer first. Unless they were well organized and all came for me at once, I could hold off a single attacker who thought I would be an easy kill while the other healer kept me alive. Pet would be sent after the caster in the enemy group to keep them from casting as often (sometimes even killed them lol) My other RA's were in things like DI, Biths B., MCL, etc so I could heal all day long.
So sad that no one sees the value in it.

Nature druids work, but leveling on them is slow. I also, personally do not enjoy the playstyle.

Ah well, I leveled her way back in the beginning when focus shields for enchanters were the shiznit. Couple of PBAOE enchanters and a couple of druids could rock and roll. The hard one to level at that time was my nightshade because no one wanted stealthers in those groups unless they took pity on you and had no one else to fill the spot.

LOL yeah, exp groups are a thing of the past. Now it's mostly who do you know who will PL you, or can you PL yourself.

if you are looking to play support it sort of depends who you intend to support...
if you are looking for quasi-support classes that can solo a heretic or friar or valk or warden might be worth it.
healer & bard really require you to have someone to support
druid cleric and shaman (the buffer/shearer) can all be made into support or offensive type classes but not easily both.
