WSG:Are Druids the best flag runners?

[:1]I see how they could be.

1. Stealth into the enemy base in Cat Form.

2. Grab the flag and Dash outside.

3. Switch to travel and book it to your base.

4. If the opponent has your flag, you can hold on to theirs in your Bear Form.

What are your opinions on druids as flag holders?|||Certainly are in the 29 and 39 brackets, before other players can use their mounts and also taking into account the druid doesnt get major tunnel vision (no pun intended) and runs off like Forrest Gump. Still ok in later levels aswell but by then other classes have pretty good abilities too ;)|||Overall yes, they can heal themselves in bear form, quick change for a normal instant HoT, easily fast in cat form if specc'd for it. Others are good, but no other single class has the speed of the druid plus durability and healing all in one combo.

I personally hate them above all others, though as a paladin, nothing makes me happier than slapping JoJ on one though. I've ruined many a druids day doing that.|||Quote:

At 70 too, when they have that fancy PvP gear all over- they are just fantastic for the job. Fast, adapatable, hard to kill. Gives me a use for the mortal strike and improved hamstring spec that my warrior uses for PvP.. :)|||Some of these replies scare me... I'm a very good carrier, being a druid myself. I stealth into the base, grab the flag/Dash, then HoT and Travel Form. But...

1. Warriors' Hamstring is a pain, and you have to shift out of it

2. Hunters' pets, and hunters themselves. Freezing traps by the base are a pain.

3. Warlocks. Need I say more?

Also...

Another good thing is rogues can't Sap us and we can't be Seduced. But hunters can Scare Beast and other druids can Hibernate us.|||yes yes, rock paper scissors

but to the even slightly unprepared, a druid is out the door w your flag before you can blink|||My druid is the only toon I have that easily makes it home with the flag.

My mage is a little on the squishy side, but good for assisting the flag runner and my Hunter I find it hard to even get out of the entrance, especially if you are using 'Aspect of the Dazed'|||My druid's not got amazing gear, the only classes that can stop me effectivly are Hunters, other druids, some shamans and a paladin smart enough to use JoJ (Not many know about it)

Using a macro for shifting you can do it instantly with the touch of a button|||Lol, very true. In WSG I usually announce that I am on JoJ duty and have had a sad amount of Paladins ask me what I was talking about.|||yea im a hunter and everybody is scared of me becuase of my bestial wrath. and

magi has frost nova. warriors have charge. rouges have stealth and sap. priests have power word: shield. locks i dont know i barely play them. pallys are cuase they everlasting mana to heal.
