Shamans can’t shape-shift into animals.
Let’s see if anyone picks up on this one.
Give your answer to this question below!
They’re both versatile healers, capable fighters, and decent blasters. I’d say it depends on what spec you want and what your guild needs.
Joe: Yup, someone got it.
Druid tends to be a Celtic thing. Misteltoe, golden sickles, wicker men, stonehenge, etc.
Whereas Shaman is any sort of tribal medicine man, witch doctor, you name it. Generally fetishistic, sympathetic magic. Cross-cultural.
Shaman is a very general term used for any spiritual leader in various tribes or groups of humans. Generally each shaman’s practices and beliefs are solely his own or that of his tribe’s. Druids are a bit more formalized, i.e. a n step to organized religion, and have a specific set of beliefs. They are also limited to England, Ireland, Whales and Scotland, where as shamen can be in any area or culture.
Druids make better tanks, but shammies are better raid healers.
