I realize as a druid it would be easier to get groups with a heal spec but that is not my question.

With the off hours I get to play I rarely seek a group , starting a druid I was going to go for a nature spec ( pets ) to solo decent..now with the npc updates have druids pets been noticably upgraded? I got a cabelist to 50 with a spirit spec chaining solo yellows and enjoyed it. I hope to do the same for druid and then @ 50ish I will respec to a regrowth (healing ) spec..

can someone suggest a good spec for this?

Also I was thinking of going celt for the balanced dex/empathy..or is firebolg the way to go since you get the 10 more empathy? I figured casting speed is just as important as to why I thought celt.

As far as I know, nature spec (pet) is totally decent for the pve leveling phase. What some people advised me in the past was to go nature till level 40. Then you can respec at level 40 as, generally, after 40+ you will have less difficulty to find groups, and it will be easier and faster for you to level in group.

About the race, celt is better for reasons you highlighted.

Think that is not answer to his question , stop your Trollposts!

Shezzy, if you want some good advice on making a solo druid please take my advice and talk to Razor in The Covenant about his battle druid. He does VERY well on his druid, but as most solo classes go, you are very dependent on your RA's and skills (insta heals etc.) being up.

Nature druid is one of the best solo chars to level until 40

exactly!

My nature druid is only 20 but it's been one of my favorite toons to play so far.
