I've been playing the game since vanilla, but druid (and shaman) are two classes I've never played. While I'm trying to decide between the 3 horde healing classes, I am put off a bit by all the hate druids get generally. Is it really that bad being a druid (especially resto) in late game pvp?. Putting all this time to get high level is a pretty big investment, so I'd rather ask now if many of you wish they had gone another path. Do you struggle to get into groups as anything but a flag carrier?
The alternatives are sham and priest of course, but I feel those are pretty strongly represented as is. Another thought is that one day druids will be sick once tbc rolls around, but who knows when / if this will happen.
Thanks for any experiences you can share.
