druid has never been #1 or close to #1 at anything pvm related

if not being #1 at anything makes you obsolete then druids have been obsolete for ages

let me quote myself

Disagree on that. Mosaic was in a category of its own - maintaining a buff gimmick to have incredibly high damage.

Everything druid does, warlock does better. Superior caster builds - apoc/abyss are both better than druid fire/windy, better summons with direct control, vastly superior physical build. Druid is just a third rate warlock.

indeed warlock is better at everything but that's besides the point. druids have never excelled at anything besides being oak bots in reset teams

in other words, nothing changed (except druids got a nice buff)

exactly! that's what i was trying to say but you've worded it well. it's not even just that the druid wasn't as good as other classes before its that all of it's unique niches and identity are usurped and succeeded by the warlock.

Barb and necro also feel like hot garbage in comparison to warlock.....sucks..... sucks bad. Maybe after the devs wake the hell up and balance warlock -

Echoing Strike needs a laundry list of fixes.

1. Require attack rating to land hits.
2. Reduce damage.
3. Use weapon durability.
4. Treated as a weapon attack OR a spell, this half and half mechanic is scuffed.

Bind demon being a giga tank is ok, but it should not be a free aura and apply amp damage too.....wtf is that.

fire druid still clears p8 ez if built properly
nado druid is more pvp option, always has been
