I know the server has been up a while and finding lower level folks to play with may be tough. SHould I level up as nature for druid and the respec once I get a bit higher?

No, leveling in hib is actually not bad. People are quite acceptable generally and people are always lvling alts.

You cant go crazy wrong with a druid.

Sololeveling speed is decent if you dont want to bet on finding a group between 1-20.
I personally had little opportunity to group at that point, while I got ninjainvited on several occassions past that.

The actual toolkit you need to level adequately in group is not ridiculous though, 11 regrowth will give you access to stable and cheap heals and the first instant already comes at 12. More than plenty for pretty much anything leveling related.

Nurture wise for group play I would say 11 is minimum between 15-40.

At level 29 having something like 24Nature+11/11regrowth/nurture keeps you in very decent shape solo (especially with relics) and gives you all the essential tools for group play. Not having to rely on baseheals vs. higher level dot also doesnt change your solo play a lot, fights take a bit longer, but specheals get rid of most of your downtime. (or all of it with mcl1)
