I am currently playing on Mabon I started with Druid
Neat! From what I've heard of Mabon, it seems like a pretty good server with some really great people on it. Druids are a great class, and very necessary at bosses, though there are a few common issues that Druids tend to run into, just so that you are aware:
1. Running out of energy. Because a Druid's main source of damage is their skills (like Mages), they tend to run out of energy pretty quickly, and once you are out of energy, you may be in trouble! This can be fixed by skilling up your meditate skill and using it to regen in between mobs. Eventually you can start buying energy regeneration gear and energy sigils (both of which tend to be expensive, so it's probably better to keep some points in meditate for a while).
2. Slower leveling. Because a Druid's primary role is as a healer, their damage output is a bit slower and lower than other classes. That's not to say that it's bad, just that it takes a bit longer to kill mobs. Strangling Vines is a great skill that does some good damage, but it's a damage over time (DoT) skill, so it takes longer to work its magic. Another good option is to find someone else to level with, grouping up with someone will get you both exp. Even though it will be a bit less than if you were soloing, having 2 players means that you kill mobs faster and easier, so it's usually a pretty good trade off.
I'm not sure if you've had a chance to wander around the forums much, but the
Druid subforum has some other great tips and tricks for playing Druids. I'd recommend starting with
this thread.
