WoW Druid Guide

A Druid is another Hybrid class that World of Warcraft has to offer. This is most likely one of the nicest classes to level up because of the shape shifting abilities, a huge variety of spells and abilities and more and this WoW Druid Guides will share with you more about that. The Druid also has one of the most powerful buffs in the game called Mark of The Wild. The Druids are part of the Cenarion Circle, a group that serves and protects nature and consists from mainly Night Elves and Druids. You can only choose the Night Elf or Tauren race if you want to play a Druid.

Druids can be separated into three categories:

Balance Druids

Balance Druids use a combination of Nature and Arcane spells to deal a lot of damage. They are the spell casting version of the Druids and at should follow the Balance talent tree in order to maximize their DPS. There are a lot of WoW Druid Guides out there that give you several different talent trees but you basically don’t have much choices. You can either spend all your talent points on the Balance talent tree or choose to put a few in the Restoration tree to become a better Shape shifter and get some extra mana regeneration. The Balance Druid obtains some nice AoE spells but can also do a lot of damage on single targets. They can Shape Shift into a Moonkin which gives them and their party members critical strike bonus with spells, haste rating and the Moonkin himself some bonus armor.

Feral Druids

Feral Druids should follow the Feral Combat talent tree in order to be able to tank and DPS properly. A Druid is able to Shape Shift in Bear and Dire Bear form to gain a lot of Armor and health which will allow him to be a great tank. A Druid in Bear Form will have to use rage to be able to use his abilities and gains several attacks which do a nice amount of damage and create a high amount of threat. A Feral Druid is also able to go into Cat form and deal great amounts of damage. The style of combat of a Druid in Catform is pretty similar to a Rogue’s play style, including combo points, finishing moves and Energy use.

As a Feral Druid you are able to both tank or DPS in dungeons and raids and are specialized in melee combat. You are still able to come out of your form however and throw a heal or two on yourself which is nice while leveling.

Restoration Druid

A Restoration Druid focuses on the healing aspect of the Druid and is a very good healer class. A Restoration Druid is known for his Heal over Time (Hot) spells but also has several instant heals that serve can be used when their target is losing hit points too fast. With the WoTLK expansion they have also gained a smaller heal called Nourish and now they are really nice all round healers. The good thing about a Restoration Druid is that he can’t go out of mana. They are Spirit based characters, meaning that they need a lot of Spirit and this is why they have a lot of mana regeneration. The Form available only to Restoration Druid, The Tree of Life, is great because it lowers the mana cost of some healing spells and increases the healing done to party and raid members. This build is not really suited for leveling but it is great to heal with if you plan to do a lot of instances, raids or arenas.

There are a lot more Druid guides related infos available on the web. Just browse around a bit so you learn all there is to know about this cool class. But I really recommend you to check this out, as I found it to be a very comprehensive guide on WoW Class, including Druid.
