I've got it working now thanks guys. I think the bug was generated by having The Darkest Day installed which I have now completely deleted because I thought it was absolute s*ite.

Does anybody know of a better buckler than the +1 version found in Mae'vars guild hall? If not then is there a better shield than this that a Druid can use?

Kmazi, I tried the shield of the lost but its classed as a medium shield, and cannot be used by Druids despite its natural composition

In terms of dual wielding, I'll probably couple the Spectral Brand (ToB) in my main hand, and use Belm in the off hand to get 3 APR, two with the Spectral Brand which will be mighty useful.

or dual-class Fighter/Druid perhaps?

That would work but I like to solo pure classes due to the greater challenge. Soloing a Fighter/Mage/Thief is redicliously easy, and the challenge provided by my solo avenger druid has proven by far the most difficult. (mainly due to the fact that I had to earn 1,500,000 XP to get from level 14 to 15!!)

Also, does anybody have any Druid equipment suggestions? Mine is currently kitted with:

Shadow Dragon Scale (best for an Avenger?)
Belm
Sling of Everard (ranged)
Buckler +1
Helm of Balduran
Cloak of the Sewers
Amulet of Power
Ring of Earth Control
Ring of Gaxx
Boots of Avoidance

This gives a nice AC of -10 and 2 attacks per round. Any suggestions as to better weaponry/armour. Also, what are your favourite druid spells. I like insect plague, creeping doom, greater elemental summoning, summon Deva, firestorm, ironskins and energy blades. Until access to the quest spells, I feel that Druids are heavily lacking offensive spells (they don't get powers such as draw upon holy might, holy smite, flame strike and animate dead to name a few) which makes the early stages of the game really difficult.

Finally, I've just gained the title Great Druid, which has replaced my Avenger title since I challenged for leadership of the grove. Does being a great druid hold and advantages or is it just a fancy name......?
