I prefer 1. Take thorn spray and predator's flurry. 2. Stop playing before paragon. 3. There is no 3.

What makes druids so awful, from Paragon and onwards? I missed the memo on them sucking so badly.
Mountain Cleave Rule: You can have any sort of fun, including broken, silly fun, so long as I get to have that fun too (e. g., if you can warp reality with your spells, I can cleave mountains with my blade).

They aren't so bad anymore actually. Except Swarm. Just worse than Invokers/Wizards.

There is a 3. Be a wood elf.
Heroic druids are fine. You can do polearm daze-push-prone shenanigans at high heroic/early paragon, it's not too bad. They can stack up slightly better damage than invokers and non-genasi wizards. They have a few solid utilities, though not as encounter smashing as some of the other controllers (and fake controllers). Utilities would probably be my biggest gripe about them. Eagle's Splendor and the like are good, but they don't solve encounters like a gate or group teleport, or a mass fly.

This is a troll thread, knock it off.

No good paragon paths, no upgrades to their powers, and no good dailies means paragon druids are sad sad kitties, Arm.

I recall Writhing Henge was pretty amazing, since it was at minimum 'gib one standard a round' and more with damage opping if you cared for that, so it might not be control but it's so strong it doesn't matter. Do they really not have anything else of note? A quick check tells me World Warp is pretty OK (it's an offturn stun with no attack roll attached, single target though it may be), Swarming Bulwark is nice and possibly cheesable with forced movement shenanigans and otherwise yeesh, they have some bad dailies. Are they really that awful? Am I not missing something?

Writhing Henge has to split targets, so not nearly so good as you're thinking.
