If A) You have ToB, and B) You can stand the wait for them to hit Level 15, then no, they don't suck. You might consider such options as a Fighter/Druid, or a Totemic Druid->Fighter.

Their equipment sucks, though, at least compared to what Clerics can use. You have to be a Fighter/Druid in order to get decent Saving Throws, and all of the good Druid weapons are 2-handed, so there goes using a Shield--but then again, Druids can only use Bucklers, and there aren't any in the game, so it's not like you were tempted to go the Shield route anyway. This game just has something against Druids--maybe it's forcing you to think like a Druid: Depend on your own skills and the call of Nature, rather than placing your faith in your armor and weapons.
