    In this earlier post, I highlighted a frustrated druid player who wrote a very extensive list of issues with the druid class. It covered PvE & PvP problems for Balance, Feral and Restoration specs. Tharfor, a Blizzard Europe Community Manager, has created a summary of that very lengthy document. From that summary, here are the questions he is going to take to the devs:*Will druids ever be able to gain benefit from melee 'buffs' such as windfury or weapon procs? *Are there any plans to re-evaluate the scaling and itemisation so that druids (of all specs) have their own loot upgrades to chase rather than stealing other classes' loot? *Constantly shifting roles takes its toll on the druids mana pool, are there any plans to adjust the costs/penalties to make shapeshifting 'easier' and more viable in longer battles? *Can the restoration tree be looked at so that druids are able to be dedicated, and useful, healers whilst still having the ability to play the game alone outside of raid situations? *Can the balance tree have more burst DPS options to remove the tediousness of the current slow and steady output of damage? His full summary after the jump.
