My main is a mage at the moment, and I love him just because he was my first character I made and I struggled to level him, dying every 2 seconds, but still pushing forward! I decided to make a druid because I was inspired by my friend, and wanted to be a tree lol. I recently rolled a new druid on my friend's server, and transferred my mage over as well because I couldn't stand getting ganked on a PvP server... I LOVE leveling my druid, and I love gathering herbs as druid because I can be in travel form and run away from mobs quick. You aren't weird for leveling new characters, because I've made 6 new ones just because it's more enjoyable lol.

Because of droods, I learned how to heal and tank (who can't DPS?) efficiently. I still kind of suck with the tanking, but any tank is a needed tank if they don't completely [[SUCK]]... *ahem* Sorry. But it's the versatility. That or the ability to turn into a kitty. also @Kae: OH YEAH. Cenarion Circle woo! 'Cept, would there be PvP if the CC is a bunch of nature-lovin' peeps that wouldn't harm a fly? I say it would have to be versatility.

Me and a guildy tried to farm up an Attumen mount out of Kara. I got to use my barely used tanking spec and took him out with an elemental shammy. What fun! So then I hook up with our 10 man ICC's main tank (another druid) and we queue up for random and get OK. We are rolling right through it. I'm dropping out of tree form and hitting the hurricane button for grins. So anyway, we notice that one of the warriors is hanging back and not doing a thing. My maintank guildy says, "Get in the game." at the last boss. He puts in a little bit of effort but that was about it. We drop the boss and I let off a snarky comment, "Thanks for the 4 man." Lots of LOL in response. So even in what was pretty much a four man heroic run I was goofing off with another druid. Its fun like this that keeps me coming back.

I just don't think I can level another though, I don't like the whole leveling process. Do you think they will make leveling go a bit faster when they release Cataclysm?

With one class I can play anything – tank, caster/ melee dps, or heals. And if I bring out my Perky Pug, I’m a pet class! My druid main has been around since release and I always return to her. I have created others, but they’ve all been deleted to free up slots on my Horde & Alliance servers. Except for one. I have a Horde druid that’s on a third server. But she won’t get far (currently level 38) because she’s meant to play with the Hubby and he hasn’t been playing much lately. A perfect excuse to create another somewhere else! I can’t wait until Cata! Even more druids! I plan to level a feral Troll and balance Worgen. I’m curious about your multiple druids – do you perceive them as unique individuals with personal taste and preferences (via spec or professions)? Do you have a character concept before creating them or do you just create a new one because you feel like it? Druids are just amazing.

I'm on my third druid and I love that I've been leveling one of every spec. I can competently perform as a moonkin, bear, cat, or tree in a raid and it's nice being able to experience so many different perspectives of the same fight without switching classes (though I must confess, I do this on two different max level druids-- my bag slots would kill me if I did it on one). I'm contemplating a fourth druid for Cataclysm since I've never played one on Alliance and I'd like to see the worgen starting area. I also love to start with nothing. I don't buy bags for alts or mail gold to them. My standard is: all alts must be self-sufficient. I bought heirloom gear once, and decided that I didn't particularly like it. I haven't bought a second piece since. I don't want to blow through all zones speed leveling, especially now that Cataclysm is coming and my resto druid (and to a lesser degree my Alliance warlock) will likely be the last alts I take through the old world.

My main, who I only bring out for raids anymore and the level 20 horde project that is once again on hold. I am more of the altoholic type. I have 1 of everything and 7 of them are 80s. I do hope that we get more slots for Cata, even if we have to pay for them. I'd really like to get a Worgen druid going as a boomkin/resto druid (my raiding druid is resto/beartank). I was in a BG about a week ago where someone was multi-boxing boomkins. It looked like 5 but it was hard to count them. Needless to say, whoever they focused on died. I only have 2 druids.
