World of Warcraft Druid Guide

Plenty of Variety for Great Game Play

Any player that has ever played the druid class will tell you the same – you either love it or you hate it. Druids are a specific hybrid class which, at the first glance, might seem complicated but in fact will bring you unlimited fun, constant change and a dynamic style of game play.

While in travel form on the shore or in aqua form in water, you will always be faster than your friends. Not to mention that you could dive freely without the need of a special underwater-breathing potion. You will be stronger while in bear form and you could always go stealth while in cat form. When everybody else will wait until level 70 to get a flying mount you will already be cruising freely in your flight form at level 68. Not to mention that it is instant!

When it comes to the druid talent tree, there are three different builds a druid could play - Balance, Feral Combat and Restoration. For leveling it is always best to go Feral even though Balance could also be nice if you prefer casting over melee. Balance druids are called Moonkins because of their Moonkin and Imoproved Moonkin Form talents. It is also a form that a druid could shapeshift into and while in it he/she will boost the whole group with a 5% bonus of the critical strike rating. Moonkins are highly favored by the dps casters but also by healers. Moonkins are also used in PVP but the talent builds of a PVP moonkin differs from the PVE one.

Feral Combat is a combination of tank/melee dps talents. While in Dire Bear form a druid is capable to be a good tank and with good gear his health points can be unreachable by the warrior, paladin or DK tanks. While in cat form a druid resembles the like of a rogue. Shreds from behind and ability to go stealth. Being a melee dps, a druid can easy reach any rogue, hunter or a caster on the dps list. When it comes to PVP, Feral Combat druid could be good but not superb so you will mostly see either resto or balance druids playing PVP.

Restoration druids aka Resto druids aka “The Three” are also fun to play and are said to be really good healers. Their healing form is a form of a treant, a tree-looking creature. They heal mostly with HOTs – Healing Over Time spells and instant spells and could be life savers when it comes to complicated boss fights or raids. When it comes to PVP, Resto druids are excellent! It is because their instant heals and endless mana regeneration which is based on their overall spirit and also the ability every druid has – to move fast and be stealthed.

Armor sets for druids vary on their build. For balance druids more Hit, Crit and Haste rating, Spirit and Intellect is needed for Feral Combat druids more Hit and Crit rating, Agility, Strength and Stamina are a must, and for Resto druids Spirit is what counts! A druid wears leather and can also wear cloth which isn’t really recommended. Resto and Balance druids could benefit from a piece or two of cloth armor since the armor value doesn’t really count for them since they shouldn’t be in close combat while in PVE. For Feral Combat druids it is of the essence to have the strongest armor possible, especially if you choose to be a tank. Armor value counts greatly. When it comes to the PVP, the stronger the armor the better and what you should be looking for is more Stamina and Resilience.
