Druid attack skills

I would like to see some of the cooldowns on attack skills reduced. To be comparable to a Mages. Make sandstorm instant.

uhhh, why?

not that I am arguing, I just don't see why druid would need this, especially when u compare them to priests, which have even less damage potential ATM...

if u can't manage your CD's and rotation, maybe druid is not the class for you...just saying...
my r/p can outdps r/m. your name is stupid.

mages should stack dex. word.

...Druid is a HEALING class. If you want to do more damage, play a Mage, or at least Mage Secondary. Compared to Priest (sadly), they are mostly better (you still can't beat Group Heal, I don't think) so for Druid's to do both DPS and Heals? Never happen.

While I would agree that Sandstorm should have it's CD reduced slightly (by like, a second) it should NOT be instant.

Sounds like you're playing the wrong class.

theoretically a d/r shud be out-dpsing a mage by like 20% with 60-70 elites...never had one high enough to test, but I am curious if any1 has one...

You want the cooldown to be instant so it casts like thunderstorm ? I agree that druid needs either less cd's or less cast time, since you can actually use all your attacks and be stuck waiting for a cooldown, but i think sandstorm would get abused.

If you think druids attacks are fine try leveling a Druid from 67-82 in healer gear then comment.

Oh boo hoo. Use Earth Arrow. You know what a Priest does to quest? RT, RT, RT, RT, RT, RT.

Anyway Druid is 100x better off than Priest damage wise. @ Jguy GH comment, raidwide instant heal with 4 second cooldown + raidwide stackable no cooldown HoT beats the pants off GH.

*sigh* you do realize you make my brain hurt right about here when you say something like this, right? Go play a healing class in other mmo's, and then you will realize this is the ONLY game where people think like this. Played a healer for around 10 years in various mmo's and not until I came here did I not want to be a healer (various reasons - but this was the biggest one).

Again I am agreeing with Borella. Priests do have less attack skills and that was ok when they were obviously a better healing class, but now that isn't the case. So no... I don't think Druid needs another boost of any kind. Yes I have both but that isn't the point. The point is that hunting on a Druid is already easier than a priest and like I said that was ok when Priests were the beesknees in healing. Since gearing a druid I am starting to not see that.

so again to the OP... negative.

Is it? By that logic, Scout is a Melee class -- you've focussed only on a subset of the skills a Druid has to make that statement just as I did to make the claim about Scouts.

I agree with the claim. We need less cd for most of our skills. I'm a D/R/W and I play the druid as both healer and DPS with different gears. I just love it, but it's hard to use when all the instant skills have cd from 6 till 14 seconds u.u
