I have a 5 druid setup now, and I am doing some experiments with Feral charge for both the tank in Bear Form and the slaves in Cat Form.

How do 5-druids do in the later instances?

My end goal is to get them to do dailies fast and be able to add my main (rogue) into the group when I am too lazy find groups for higher end instances. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Before anyone says it, I chose not to do shamans because it seems that is what everyone uses, and I am too lazy to to multiple class quests so I like single class setups. Thank you in advance.

Theres a reason everyone does shamans, its because they work out really good for both PvE and PvP - a lot better than any other 5 of a single class/spec I would imagine.

As far as druids, it depends on how you plan to use them. 5 moonkins? A feral, 3 moonkins and a tree? or what?

Seems like it would be a lot more hassle and a lot more concentration to 5 man an instance with 5 druids, compared to 5 shamans or 4 shamans + paladin but I'm sure it could be done.

With the advent of patch 3.0, 5 druids might be pretty slick, especially if you go feral for one, 3 x boomkin, 1x resto.

Thank you for the replies.

I am looking to do a Bear, 3 Boomkin, 1 Tree set-up right now. With the change to swipe I think it will work better.

I am also curious to see if i can do a 5 feral setup for Cat Form leveling with Feral Charge in Cat Form being used to get them into melee distance. I am not sure if anyone has tried that yet.

sure that work. I play druid tank, 3 mages and a priest healer. and I can do Instances fine. But seeing as moonkins have high amour you have another option and that is 4 moonkins and 1 tree.

For PVE I am going to try a slightly different variation on this and have 1 feral and 4 boomkins. Pop 4 life blooms + 4 rejuvs (regrowth if necessary) on the tank and get back to doing DPS.

For PVP I'll do all boomkins.
