Druid pet can't kill a blue conned mob!

I am very disappointed in the strength of the specced Druid pet. I have a level 34 druid with level 32 pet spell. The pet is literally grey to me when called, level 25. I cannot believe you enhance things like thane spells, put friar and paladin on near full melee damage tables, increase hunter pet(which has 2.0 Spec/Lvl), and etc and do not address such a obvious hole in 1.65.

Nature has no baseline damage and you have to spec even for a SINGLE target DoT in nature and the one buff they get from nature being baseline to every caster in hib(damage shield). I understand that maybe it doesn't affect 8v8 gameplay because the druid can fill a spot easily just by rooting rupt and healing, but how exactly is it okay for their spec points to be wasted on such a crap spec that only reason to spec it is for instant roots? I don't expect much to be done but just a small bit of love to make it closer to balanced would be nice. Anything from a damage add buff to making their pet not complete garbage are my suggestions.

Feel free to explain why the current state of the game doesn't need a druid that can even think about being anything than your cookie cutter idea of what druids should be and what-naught.

Ya Karen, you tell 'em!
I can't believe these devs, what are we paying them for? How dare they leave this obvious game breaking garbage in the game? This better be fixed immediately and give all druids free respec and 10 plat for their their inconvenience and total disrespect. Shameful. How is this even acceptable. The devs should be rounded up and flogged.

Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the community. Your insight is greatly appreciated.

Valid points.
Since this server is going full custom how about changing the selfbuff Dmgadd for druids a castable for pets and groupmates?
Would help the pet to deal some additional damage.
Hibs finally have a decent source of getting dmgadd for their realm... enchantment ench are not very common.

Their Self Damage add is fine seeings it is actually baseline, but they could add a lower delve dmg add to nature with exact delve as shaman specced dmg add. Even that would help out the spec out tremendously without breaking it even the slightest, maybe my pet could kill blues? never know.

Natur3 spec is one of those intentionally gimp ones, IMHO. But now that Smite is getting love for clerics, improving Nature for Druids isn’t a bad idea. It is th eonly primary healer with such a useless third spec.

I want you to think about all the intentionally gimp specs hib has really. Bard/warden blades blunt, druid nature(ofc), enchanter enchantment, mentalist mentalism and you start to see a trend for Hibernia in general. I know the other realms have gimp speclines too but not near as many and they aren't being labeled as "intentionally" by the devs that buffed up the other realms abilities.
