in real life, if u gather with ur hand, it's most likely druid(non tauren to be fair) is the best. I am talking about mining/herb combo.

druid can herb in flight, and able to drop combat. so u can pretty much cyclone, gather, cat and stealth away. if ur NE u got double drop combat. druid also never get knock off the mount in flight. however when air mobs aggros, usually ur not at very high so fall damage is small.. after all, the advantages druid have in herb/mining combo is slightly better than paladin 10% speed, IF you gather with ur fingers on keyboard eyes on screen.

but I found a problem, druid may be better if u gather with ur fingers. but when bot is running, and if u are trying to mine, sure u will fight and kill the mob, but when u try to herb(non tauren without forager's glove). the mobs tend to always get to u when u half way or almost finish the herb, because u are still in flight form, it will not engage combat, instead if will fly up, leave combat, and try again. it will do it 3 times and then give up... now that is a HUGE waste of time especially if u are doing herbs in area of ur similar level, where u gonna get aggro by mob most the time. so imagine u fly up, drop combat and go again 3 times in the end don't even get the herb. that's pretty bad. while if u are paladin. because u need to get off mount to herb, when mob aggro the bot will kill the mob... this way u save lots of time and get the herb...

so from my findings, for mining, paladin is as good as druid as u get faster speed to save 1.5 seconds cast time. so unless u are digging a mine every 15 seconds or less, u are most likely better off with paladin. as for herb, druid may be better in real life, but with this bot, druid is bad. so  right now I am gonna make my paladin also herb/mine. I already have a druid with herb/mine combo.

will run a 2 hours session in off-peak hour on each to see which one gets more nodes. I am pretty sure it will be Paladin !!!

what do u guys think?

ok I just looked again, it looks like the 'SPEED' of how fast the wavepoint is send out has got nothing to do with ur mount speed or something. I just tested it with a paladin, everytime when paladin get to a WP, it my toon will 'Pause' and stop for a very few MS. very un-natural way of flying, anyone with a brain sees it would know it's a bot.

so it seems like the WP is send out at 451% mount speed by default @ lv90, not 492%, I try it with druid again and it has very smooth change of direction while with paladin it will reach to the WP before the next WP is assigned. this would also mean that with a paladin u will not get any speed advantage as u will just wait 0.1 second at each WP.

so I think it may be better to stick with druid for gathering. problem is now druid don't fight mob when aggroed because of in flight form, if I change the mount ID to a regular mount, will it look 'weird' to gather herb with a druid that's not in flight form ? is there a way in the settings to make my druid to fight instead of fly up when picking herb and hit by mob?

I was wondering that myself. Just want to draw some attention to this topic. :)

My druid toon keeps flying up... takes ages and is the numer one reason for failing. Just changing to cat/kin and killing the mob woud take like 3 sec.

Didn't want to turn off flight form. vcreation said it: It's just weird to have a druid without flight form farming.

EDIT: Ok looks like it has to do with CustomClass...
