Can a Druid be a Healer?

A druid can indeed be a healer, as they possess the ability to heal and have access to fast heal lines, although their healing capabilities are balanced with their DPS and ADPS, making them the weakest of the three healers when it comes to straight healing. The druid’s ability to heal is influenced by their circle, with some circles, such as Circle of Dreams and Circle of Moon, being more focused on healing than others, allowing players to choose the role they want to fill in their group.
