Is the Past Life: Druid worth getting early?

Hires are awesome when used wisely and when picking the right ones. They won't work well for high skulls (well there is someone who did some r10's recently with their hires/summons doing all the fighting while they just healed/buffed them, but it was for giggles). Here's some hires I've found work best and some others chimed in on what they like: https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/hires-that-are-decent-to-use.10393/post-111057 Some hires are really bad, so it's about using the right ones; I really wish they all worked well, but that's not the case.

I have Shield Guardian, Satyr Bard, and Frogo. They have been awesome so far. I especially love Frogo, just because he's a bullywug, lol. Thanks for pointing me towards that post!

I spend a lot of time plinking through quests, and having all the hires be just a bit beefier is nice, especially when you get to the pet lives (ranger, wizard, artificer, etc) and those guys are a little stronger, too
