Just a note: A good friend with whom I work plays a druid. At level 31,
he's still meleeing/nuking blues and blacks to death. For a yellow,
he'll usually kite it through one DoT, and then nuke/melee it. For reds
up to the Resist cap, he just kites them.

True, he's nowhere near as good a tank as, say, an equivelant level
ranger. But that's still a lot less fragile than my lvl 20 wizard (who
started out 9 levels ahead...sigh) has ever seen.

(Note on my note: no opinion here, just a clarification)
