I was wondering:
If a ranger switches to the druid class at lvl 30, does he get back the practices used to learn skills of the ranger class which the druid does not have?
Going druid?
Ive never done it, but I am almost certain thats a no.
Going healer/shaman from cleric gives you back half of the practices used on the cleric-only skills/spells. I'd guess that ranger->druid works similarly.
Pali is correct.
I can affirm that you get half of your practices back. But Druids are gimped. Stick with rangers.
I won't say they're gimped, but I had a VERY hard time fighting with Errionik, particularly blademasters.
When going healer, only elves get practices they spent back, I believe.
What?!?!?!
Druids are clerics who can hit...they are powerhouses, but there are some "annoying" things about them.
Druids are solid as hell. Very hard to take them down if they're played right.
Well, either way. I look forward to trying one out...now if only I could find that damn druid....

My dwarf healer in 1.0 did, as did more recent human/duergar/drow shamans. Can't see any reason it'd have changed, or why it'd be elves only... they can afford the loss of pracs, whereas a dwarf/halfling/human can't as easily.
The reason elves would get all their practices back is because they use only one practice per skill/spell. You get one practice per skill/spell lost, so a fire giants, who take three practices to be learned, would only get 1/3 of their practices back.
Oh, when talking about getting ALL practices back, maybe it's just elves/drow... I was responding to him saying "only elves get practices they spent back", which I took to mean ANY practices.
I had a lot of fun with my druid, but the ranking was tough. I had so much fun dodging PKers with him.
Yeah, that's another thing. Took me forever to pinn. Granted, that might be because when I played him, there were a crapload of mages, and very few competent melees.
Druids can tank. I've hunted with a level 40 druid who was tanking the 5 evils in drkshtyre.
Well I see druids as cleric minus protective shield, healing, minsiter and protective shield. On paper at least they are worse off. The last one is particularly painful because of bash bash bash.... or bodyslam bodyslam bodyslam........ Also they can't go to far off places to get the good armors because of y********. But the rp might appeal to some and gating off and mouthing your enemy can be fun once in a while. Good luck on your druid!
Druids have always been, in my opinion, the true bane of the good communing classes (most of them). Many of them, including healers, have much less weaponry against a neutral than an evil.

Howso? Why are druids bane of good communers over and other neutrals? I think you make a better point by replacing Druids with Neutrals.
Because, in my opinion, druids are the neutral equivalent protectively of a healer without the alignment weakness.
Again, just my opinion from fighting them and watching them fight others.
