The typical inhabitant of Azeroth looks at the druid and sees a priest you have to "settle for", unless of course they are a priest then they see a mana battery. A typical resident of Azeroth sees the druid as a target in pvp, a non-rezzing healer, sometimes even a tank. The typical resident of Azeroth may sometimes be amazed at what a druid can actually do, because their classes, despite their protestations, are much more complete and "easier" to play.
What is a druid?
We are the class who's player understands what he must do to survive, and to ensure the survival of those around him.
We are the core around which wise groups
understand they can flex their strategy.
We are the line in the sand that marks the survival of our compatriots.
We are caretakers, supporters, keepers of life; we see not to one class, but to all.
We may be targeted because we heal, hated because we run, laughed at because we lack the killing fury of other classes. But we are loved by those who are on our side for what we provide them.
The druid stands alone, needing none, supporting all, becoming the oil that makes the machine run smoothly.
Do not overlook us, our abilities exist to make you better.
Do not complain to us, for we were still the red-headed stepchildren when you were already 60.
Do not forget that we are more than healbots, mana batteries, or combat rezzers.
Do not underestimate us, for our trials in surviving and thriving have made us strong and capable.
Our abilities force us to play better, to use them all and be ready to do the unusual when it is called for.
Our forms may seem powerless, but give us the tools to continue our support even when our own protection drops.
We are the shield when the warrior falls.
We are the shadow when the rogue is dead.
We are the arcane when the mage is doomed.
We are the healer when the priest has no more to give.
We are the specialized hybrid, the ultimate role-player on the team, the rare, odd duck who can forsake the greatness in those roles in order to survive.
We are there watching, waiting, ready to take up the slack and contribute in ways that only we can.
We are the last hope when all else fails.
We are the druid.
