Level 11 druid - Viable?

Well hi there ;D

Thinking of twinking my 11 druid instead of heading straight up to 19/20. Only went 11 because i already have a 10 - although i'm not sure 11 druids are viable.

I've seen rogues, paladins and shamans but that's about it. Would a level 11 twink druid be viable (or atleast any good)?

Also, could you give me some examples for gear and so forth? Stendels are a must, i'd assume. But what else?
 
Why would you consider 11 if you don't even know if it would be viable? You have to check the ratings/talents you gain versus the stats you lose to decide if it's even worth it.
 
The idea about level 11 is mostly, in most case, for additional gear and talent point.

I don't know if this would even be close to viable as there's no ''key'' talent to get nor additional gear that I can think of
 
if going feral you get 30% increased speed instead of 15%

seems kind of viable imo

Didn't see it that way. I guess that way it is. But now, the question would be, why not 14 instead?

Lose haste and crit, gain stam and agi and more talent point?
 
In my opinion the litle speed boost (15% more than 10) wont compansate for the stat-loss..
 
speed increase leads to better kiting, ie: what healstrong perfects in

better kiting leads to better survivability

plus makes it viable for going at hunters


etc
 
I wanted 11 because i have a 10 and 14s are ugly. That and it's different. The +15% speed is viable, saying otherwise is like saying Bankbeauty's paladin is useless compared to a level 10 paladin.

Overall, it just seems like a fun idea and wanted to run it by you guys first to get your opinions. Doesn't seem positive from you guys, but then that won't stop me from attempting it.
I believe the bonuses in gear/a talent do compensate for the loss in stat, that's why i considered it. I just wanted to know if it's viable and what i should go for in terms of gear.
 
I would understand going to level 13 or 14(for all that extra stam/int/crit gear and the additional DoTs that locks can get) but 11?

Stay 10, stack haste, and win.

@ Syntak: And I never said or meant to say that Bankbeauty was useless. Read closer :)

You can still stack haste at 11. I only lost around 13% haste when i dinged to 11 from 10. That and it's not all about stacking haste at 10, so god knows where you're coming from, hehe :eek: what kind of 10 druid is just viable by haste? Not many, imo.
Honestly i can see the 11 being more viable than 10 in some cases, depending on class, so why not give it a try at least instead of just sticking with the norm. Next you'll be saying a level 15/16 druid is useless.

Oh, i know. But if you also read closer - you gave implications to it, regardless of you meaning to you still basically put that he was somewhat useless compared to a Ten.

15% increased speed is underated, i dont think the people here udnerstand how useful it is.it means no melee can get to you, and you can keep yourself hot-d and keep them dot-t while having thorns on you, and going in for the occassional couple mangles, while keeping rake up. 15% increased speed means doubling your survivability. around 15% haste is worth the sacrifice, as you get the 15% increased speed, and like 1% crit.
 
Okay, so you're argument is still not valid. You still lose a lot of haste/crit by going 11. Unless you have grandfathered Gear, there's no point to even bother with your druid if he's lvl 11. Make a new lvl 10 and regear him.

There's no benefit by going 11, you do not gain any stats other than maybe 100 extra health.
 
Yeah, you lost 40% haste, and thats only the haste, you also loose crit, dodge and hit + the LB from Herba is far weaker. But as Threesets says it' can be very good to if you use the speed boost right.
 
you lose no crit

you lose 13%-ish haste which is not much

you gain 15% speed

which means ---------->

unlimited kiting against melee players, you can stick to hunters

the only thing we are weighing here is what's more important:

20% ish haste (if you have 25 agility to weapon which i see more valuable than 20 haste, unless it gets you to another break point) or 15% increased speed

AND you lose no crit, i lost no crit when I leveled my rogue to 11, and I actually gained about 1.5%

dodge will be a slight loss, but depend if you take 20 haste on 2h or 25 agility

but since you have no dodge gear, its not much of a difference

Okay. that's a lie. Can you please take a look at/trying make an 11 druid before making statements? My argument is valid. And i can pretty much say that now it's been questioned i've looked for myself and consider it to be very much still viable. Thanks for the criticism either way guys. :eek:

P.S - This isn't on public servers. Thank goodness, i'd dislike playing with a few of you ingame from the interpretations i've gathered from this thread. So much for being warm, welcoming and accepting within a good community.

Threesets... He went from 106% to 70%, thats 36% haste.. (Not 13) and wtf. ofc you loose all secondary stats (crit included).

Edit: and even with 30% speed thats no guarantee you stick to a hunter. You're arguments for going to 11 is abit weak IMO.
