so i havent played wow since wrath of the lich king but i was thinking of coming back for vanilla wow.... Were druids any good in vanilla i was thinking of rolling a druid but ill probably go the healer route for raids

Druid is the vanilla class that is best at nothing (except carrying the flag in pvp), and ok at tanking, healing, and dps. It can do all 3 it just won’t be the best. Druids are super fun to roll though. Roll whatever you enjoy!

think i might go shaman or paladin then mate at work wants to go horde so probably shaman i had one in the past then again i could always try a priest

Pally is alliance only and shaman is horde only so figure out what faction first
