I have a wood elf and a half elf druid, but playing the half elf atm. She is Circle of the Land: Coast (for mirror image and misty step - the latter is possibly my most used spell in the game). So far, it's nice. She has high dex (16) and a decent armor class. Since I have Gale as a steady in my non wizard playthroughs, he is the one, that gets normally targeted by enemies. I mostly use wildshape outside of combat to prepare a sneak attack, talk to other animals (which is tons of fun) or to get through something (badger). In battle I used the spiderform mostly for web. If I know, that a battle is about to start, I'll go into spiderform, throw a web at the enemies and then turn back into humanoid form for spells.
I'm not that far into the game, I'm at the Blighted VIllage now, because I have some real life stuff that keeps me from playing as much as I want for the next 2 weeks, but so far, I like the druid. I think Moonbeam is a very powerful spell, that whip cantrip is cool and using a staff with Shillelagh is really great. My druid does a lot of damage that way.
