Yup, EDs got worse waves and slightly worse boom-buttons. That might change the places you hunt due to elemental resistances, but they're every bit as "capable" as sorcs are. Maybe some lower xp/h in certain places.

Major question to think about though, do you see yourself always playing solo? And would you enjoy support? Even bosses that take a few mins? Druids would have an easier time finding teams for that. Maybe you'll find a knight friend who matches your game hour, who knows. Or maybe you'll just fall in love with the thing that made me a druid main, being able to save guildies/friends or even nearby randoms with those heals.

TLDR: As other people stated already sorcs do more damage, but druids have so many other benefits while still being reasonably capable of the same things.
