I post this here because I don't who will take this up, Lou or Kaedrin.
How about a custom summoning system for casters? I had Druids in mind since they suck so badly, primarily on their own, but have some redeeming qualities in party. Besides, I think it's part of their theme.
The idea is simply to let them have a party of good quality, long lasting, summons that is limited by party size since they don't need the summons so much when they are in a party of PCs but are so horrible to solo.

The biggest problem with summons is that they cause horrible lag all over the server. I am pretty sure this is an OEI problem as I have seen it on every PW I have tried. If I had to guess the issue has to do with where the computations for the summons path finding are done (both server and client?) and the number of messages back and forth comparing the result. I agree that druids have problems, but anything that ups the number of summons on the server will up the lag too.

I guess tougher, longer lasting, summons is the solution then.
