Druids harness the vast powers of nature to preserve balance and protect life. With experience, druids can unleash nature’s raw energy against their enemies, raining celestial fury on them from a great distance, binding them with enchanted vines, or ensnaring them in unrelenting cyclones.

Druids can also direct this power to heal wounds and restore life to fallen allies. They are deeply in tune with the animal spirits of Azeroth.

As master shapeshifters, druids can take on the forms of a variety of beasts, morphing into a bear, cat, storm crow, or sea lion with ease. This flexibility allows them to fill different roles during their adventures, tearing enemies to shreds one minute and surveying the battlefield from the sky the next. These keepers of the natural order are among the most versatile heroes in Azeroth, and they must be prepared to adjust to new challenges on a moment’s notice.

Druid Information

Druids are versatile combatants, in that they can fulfill nearly every role – healing, tanking, and damage dealing. It’s critical that druids tailor the form they choose to the situation, as each form bears a specific purpose.

  • Type Tank, Healer, Ranged Magic Damage Dealer, Melee Damage Dealer
  • Standard Bars Health, Mana, Rage, Energy
  • Available Armor Cloth, Leather
  • Available Weapons Daggers, Fist Weapons, One-Handed Maces, Polearms, Staves, Two-Handed Maces
Druid Talents

Druid talents focus on improving the powers of their natural and animal forms, enhancing their ability to summon forth natural phenomena, or increase the potency of their life-giving healing magic.

Druid Features
Versatility

Druids’ changing forms let them assume different roles and focus on either tanking, healing, or damage. They can also shapeshift to travel faster on land, sea, and air.

Healing

By calling upon the powers of nature, druids are able to swiftly restore health to their injured allies.

Defense

When shapeshifted into their bear form, druids possess a thick skin and imposing presence that makes them ideal front-line protectors of weaker party members.

Melee and ranged damage

Druids can take on the form of a savage cat in order to claw and bite their enemies up close, or that of a wild moonkin to blast enemies from afar.

Love Druids, awesome class. However, a tip for noobs: in WG, or any other CTF battleground, if you are not resto, run for the flag immediately, in feral. There are a few times that there was a stupid druid who decided that he didn't need any "forms" to help him and got his trash kicked by a half dozen guys at once.

@Spikespike: Honest opinion, for healing a resto druid all teh way due to their Op heals at the moment. I also like the hots and you have the heal spread out so that the druid dosent have to completley drain all its mana with one burst attack on the person its healing. For DPS on the other hand, i would always go with elemental shamans. Druids do have 2 spells that really irritate teh !@#$ our of everyone with flags 2 capture (Moonfire and Sunfire) but Elemental shamans and enhancment shamans are better for the simple fact that they are a bit more versatile in healing out their team. Elemental shamans heal very well and can kill most enemies by spamming lighting bolt, cast Flame Shock then 2 finish off in less than 10 seconds, Lava Burst. The faster the kill the more your team is helped because that is one less guys to deal with. Enhancment are more geared towards DPS but can also heal if necissary and do very good DPS as well. A moonkin does damage over time and has about 2 burst attacks. The only exception is Feral, if you are a we;; geared feral druid, then always go that, they do FANTASTIC BURST, (much better than rouges :( and they are very fun to play so overall. Druid =healing and only feral dps
Shaman = dps ranges and melle

I started playing WoW as a Druid and always claimed that I would quit as a Druid. Very fun class and makes sense to play one since I am a tree hugger irl :3

@Arnhem: (pre-MoP) I agree. I've been playing the 'feral/hybrid' since 2009. In the past I've played the Warrior, Paladin, and Rogue and they seem boring by comparison. I too can't see playing anything else.

@Espirituoro: Resto does not have tree of life form anymore. you can only get tree form with a minor glyph, which is purely asthetical, and thus, not really worth getting.

@Lachance: Yes, there's the glyph (glyph of the treant or something, which is just for looks) but resto druids still have Tree of Life form. It's one of the 3 talents you can choose at level 60. I know because my druid has it.

Blizzard, in the name of the spirits, I thank you for fixing our guardian druid brothers. When MoP was launched, they were useless, but now, they can be played once again.

@Fluffysheep: it is rather low right now compared to most caster classes, but not as bad at pure dps as shadow priests. anyways, the difference is minimal if you play and gear well in pve, and bliz cares less to balance pvp than pve.
