Druid or shaman?

[Nefarius]

Hello all! So I have 3 twinks in 29 bracket (spriest, rogue, and mage) and I have a full 29 leather eagle set I've gotten together over time of ah checking. I was just wondering what you all think I should make for my last twink with this between a druid or shaman?

I had a lvl 29 shaman twink in TBC, they're fine, quite fun being the fastest in the BG with https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=2645/ghost-wolf , but you're kind of forced to go the enhancement tree for https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=16287/improved-ghost-wolf

You're still not a good FC however since you take massive damage, they're not as good as druids both when it comes to tanking nor healing. The cast is quite slow and you do not have any HotS

So I would suggest you to go for druid altho the gear is kind of whack at lvl 29 in classic. I remember https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=2893/abolish-poison combined with https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=8946/cure-poison being really OP since lots of twinks were rogues.

If you're talking dps. I had dps gear on my shaman too, but I don't consider it worth because then I take even more damage without a shield and elemental is just superslow cast. Only resto was worth. There were many feral druids though, but only one was good

I’ll take the utility of an rsham over druid any day. Purge, tremor, multiple slows, a dot and ghost wolf.

Sham can outheal priest as well in short periods, I’d only go druid to fc.

Ghost wolf is at the end of the day not as useful as druid forms since it doesn't clear slows, so you got to hold up and try to heal with https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=8008/lesser-healing-wave and prepare to get interrupted. The rogues and hunters will go for you as a healer, you got to deal with their slows which druids are perfect for with abolish poison + powershifting

But yeah, https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=8056/frost-shock is OP as fuck in this bracket however.

Druid - 1 balance / 13 feral / 6 resto. You won't be a killer but the utility is insane and I've never had more fun.
