Unfortunetly we neither have the usefulness (Innervate, Blessings, Cleanse, Auras etc) nor the end-game itemization (Lawbringer, Stormrage) to support what we are doing endgame. Don't even let me get started about the stupid,stupid, overlapping, ineffective intent they had when designing Earthfury and Ten Storms.

I can only assume I'm in some anomaly of a group that uses hybrids across the board. We've got a Feral Druid who will heal or dps as needed, lending Leader of the Pack to a party of rogues. I'll heal or go Moonkin situationally, either helping on the tanks or nuking while lending the Moonkin Aura to the priest, paladin, and warlock in the party. On the Suppression Rooms, I'm always going Moonkin since I can handle a ton of whelps beating on me while I AoE.

I'll concede that a Druid or Shaman are mostly healing in the endgame, just due to the need for healers. But I don't understand your comment on not having the itemization to support this. Stormrage is definite healing gear. If anything, the itemization for Druids is SOLELY healing gear with some exceptions, and they're trying to remedy this with the new A'Q sets.

Was that an accidental generalization based on your views of shaman itemization, or did you really mean that none of the hybrids have proper itemization for what they are doing in raids?

How's the inside of the box look, anyway?
