Overview

Druids are guardians of nature who seek to preserve balance and protect life, harnessing the vast powers of nature. Their power comes from communion with Cenarius, the demigod Lord of the Forest, and Malfurion Stormrage became the first mortal druid. Druids are hybrids who can heal, tank, or deal damage by shapeshifting, and are a jack of all trades: versatile, but they do not match a dedicated specialist in any single role.

Role and Resources

Druids are a hybrid class that can heal, tank, and deal damage in melee or at range. They use mana in humanoid and Moonkin form, rage in bear form, and energy in cat form (with combo points).

Armor and Weapons

Druids wear leather armor (cloth is also usable). They can wield daggers, fist weapons, staves, polearms, and one-handed and two-handed maces, and may use off-hand held items (but not shields). Idols occupy the relic slot.

Talents

Druids have 52 talents across three trees: Balance (16), Feral Combat (20) and Restoration (16). Each tree has seven tiers, and each tier needs another 5 points spent in that tree. The trees work as a talent calculator: click a talent to spend a point and right-click to take it back (on a phone, use the Tap adds / Tap removes switch). Hover over a talent, or tap it, to see what it does. Copy link saves the build you have made.

Priority: Stamina and armor first: Bear Form multiplies the armor on your gear, so leather with a high armor number beats the same stats on cloth. Then Agility, which is dodge and more armor, then Defense. The weapon's damage counts in Bear Form, so it is chosen on its stats and damage together.

Talents: Balance 0 / Feral Combat 26 / Restoration 0
