That's a great point and I am going to change my opinion and agree with you now. Maybe in the next expansion another Elite spec will come that makes a Ranger into a DPS caster class with scepter/focus or something. a "Warden" or something like that.

And that's cool. To each their own. I just want the OPTION to be DPS rather than support only.

I haven't 'attacked' anyone. You call 'politely disagreeing' an attack?
Me: *says ANYthing*
You: You are wrong! You are closed minded for not dropping your opinion and adopting my opinion!
Me: I'm just stating my opinion and supporting my position.
You: OMG stop attacking people! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Me: Ok whatever.
You: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! You're stubborn REEEEEEEE! *flails and screeches endlessly*
Do you hear yourself? There is no goalpost! This is a discussion, not a debate, with some trophy in mind!!!! ! This is just a discussion about how I think Druids should have the option to be DPS and not solely heals.
What do you mean "get through to me?" Is that your terminology for 'arguing someone down and making someone drop their stance and agree with you?' This isn't an argument or debate. Nobody has been attacked, except perhaps how you and others have directed towards me, for simply voicing my opinion. about druids. How dare I, right?

It's my OPINION. I'm not on here to be 'right' like you are. It's not about right and wrong, i'm just voicing my OPINION.
How is that such a difficult concept for you?

And at this point you are arguing just to argue and have the last word. *shrug*

That is not what I said or meant. At all.
I wanted them to have the OPTION of being more DPS focused rather than solely support/healing.

> Also druid is just a name to put idea on gw 2 druid its alot closer to dryad . But meaning and usage of names dont mean they should be same take my name laila for example not all who share my name look ore think like me. (This for op seem to locked on that all druids shall be same in all games. Druid was orignally a name for celtic shamans wich dont fit the general meaning of druids in most games ore this game)
Excuse me?
No, really........excuse me?!?!?!!?
Your'e telling ME that I said druids should be 'locked' into the same theme in all games??? I'm sitting here saying Druids should have the OPTION to be DPS, not locked into support and that's somehow saying they should be locked into DPS? And others are here adamantly insisting that Druids should be SUPPORT healing classes, and _I_ am the one who's talking about how druids should be locked into a theme?? no. I'm not.
Don't come for me. I've had enough of people on this thread. I don't mind people disagreeing. But personal insults, misrepresenting my arguments, telling me how "useless" this thread is, when it has sparked so much discussion is just asinine. But putting words into my mouth and dragging ME over hot coals and ignoring literally the exact same argument process from others who are just on the opposite end of the argument is ridiculous. Inexcusable.
How dare you sit there and tell ME I want druids to be locked into a role when i DO NOT, and others have attempted to shout me down and do precisely what you wrongly accused me of doing.

Actually, no it hasn't been me shouting down anyone at all. It's called an adult discussion. i find it funny that you totally ignore that some people, such as yourself, HAVE been trying to 'shout down' me for not thinking a Druid should be a support class, much less traditionally.
But I do hope you feel better.

This also sparked a discussion about what a Druid class is and what people expect from it.
It's a forum. You know. Where discussions take place.
But you coming here and stating things like "nobody agrees with you" simply because you don 't is false logic. I don't expect my 'dissenting opinion' to go anywhere. It's a forum where people politely exchange ideas. Are you a moderator who determines what can and cannot be posted on this forum?

I'm trying to make Meteorlogicus. I am at the part where I need to combine Storm and the Gifts at the Mystic Forge for the final item. The only thing stopping me from doing this all is the Mystic Clovers and Gift of Battle.
I want it to be easier to get these last items considering the journey I have taken, and I REALLY don't want to do any PVP whatsoever, but at the same time, I know that items like these should be difficult to achieve. It adds to the value and prestige.

I am also having this same issue. I've waited for 5 hours at this spot to defeat the grawl commander and start the chain. It is not spawning and it isn't starting. I headed across the river and sure enough the agents were both dead. I revived them and they just stand around fighting grawl near the base of the Oouo head by the shoreline. This is the only thing I need to get from Meteorlogicus III to IV and It's absolutely killing me.

Me having a fuzzy memory doesn't diminish my point in any way. It was 30+ years ago. Having said that, Are you honestly telling me that shapeshifting a few times per day into an animal which may or may not be very offensively oriented is more "DPS" per se than summoning tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning bolts from the sky, and earthquakes?
Ok. If you think that, there's no dialogue we can come to an agreement on. The repertoire of DND Druidic offensive spells >>>>>>>>>> their shapeshifting abilities.

You are absolutely wrong.
I've played as a Druid ever since the class was first introduced in DND over 30 years ago, back when it started out that you had to be a Bard first and progress to being a Druid, and even still then, it wasn't a "support" class.
"Just because you can name SOME games that have offensive oriented Druids" - What?? The overwhelming majority of the games that even have Druid class in it are offensive oriented! Here I'll illustrate how silly that statement is: " Just because you named the vast majority of games with Druids in it and they are overwhelmingly offensive ranged damage dealers doesn't mean they aren't support somehow." *confused stare*
The Druid in D2 has TWO skill trees that are both offensive. Elemental and Shapeshifting. Summoning tree only has a couple supportive abilities - the spirits. And only one of the abilities heals - the corpse vine. Support indeed....
I'll turn the tables on you: "Just because you think a druid should only be seen as support doesn't make it so."

I wholeheartedly agree. I think transmutations should cost MONEY, not gems or have charges. It's rather tedious and unfun.
