Best race for druid ?

Ok I am trying to find the best class for a Druid and I really can't choose between Halfings and Elves.
Halflings get +2 to dex, so they avoid more and hit more ( useful with the mana drain weapon )
Elves get + 2 to Wis giving them more MPs and making their spells somewhat stronger. They also get +2 Cha, but I doubt it matters
Halflings get + 7 AC.
Elves get +5% damage in forests, which is nice because Druids often stay in forests.
So, what do you think is the best choice ?

Depends on how you're going to use the druid, as you say. If you're going to use weapons and hit alot halflings are better.

How are halfing druids "crap" ? They only have 2 less wisdom than their Elf counterpart, but they have +2 dex and +7 ac.

Halfling druids Are the best in my opinion, Not cause They are better, just cause I like them more.

I like my halfling druid, then again I haven't really tried a high lvl Elf Druid, but I would assume that for dueling/fighting purposes a halfling would be better.

yeah I kind of figured out the same, high wis doesn’t seem so good in duel/fights especially when druids get a mana leach weapon anyway.

As far as I can tell +1 wisdom equates to +1 damage on the offensive spells, so halfings aren't at too much of a loss. I went halfling for the third time now because I knew I wanted to train it via normal attacks and with 21 dex and the most armour out of all the races, they kinda don’t get touched. Plus if you look to the future you can still be having 21 dex on a halfling even with Boots of time and an amulet of the Lich(or 22 if you go AoH)… and with the normal SGs and CRs that’s some serious armour…
In my mind you just can’t have enough dex in this game.

I own a human (Sylvanis) 19 18 19 19 18 19
a halfling (Reese) 18 19 21 18 18 18
and an elf (Furion)18 20 19 18 20 18
...... and to be honest i like the human best lol. Its getting the best hp, which is something druids need badly, usually they get very low hp.

I have two human druids myself and am quite happy with both of them, never had any other race for a druid yet though so I don't know what the others would be like

I make halflings, because its fun to imagine a halfling running around calling the wrath of the storms, and turning itself into stone

I'm sorry but elves DO NOT get better hp than halflings. Elves get 18 con and so do Halflings. If anything Halfling have the most defense because of their 21 dex.

yeah I sure know a lot.
Halflings get 18 con
Elves get 18 con
Therefore they get the same HPs
God it sure took a lot of testing and experiencing to come to this revolutionary conclusion .

Humans are easily the best Druids. Druids have requirements that draw from almost every stat, therefore, it would make sense to have a race with a good balance. The human has better strength than both races, better wisdom than the halfling, better constitution than both, a little less dex, which is compensated for with benefits over two important stats.

Trust me, elves get better hp than halflings, this is what my druids got:
Level 25 elf, 18 con 230-240 hp (Cant remember the exact hp)
Level 25 halfling, 18 con 210-220 hp (Same again lol)
Same con, yet the halfling got worse hp (and mp)

I would have to agree there, halflings just dont seem to cut it on the hp gains. I reset my new druid 3 times now and just when it was looking better, it still ended up with crap hp at lvl 19.
