WoW - The Druid Tutorial

By Garett Christianson


This World of Warcraft Druid guide will point you down the right path when you are getting started playing with a Druid.

The Druid is a shape shifting hybrid class which allows you to approach many different play styles and this is the reason why it is one of the most versatile classes in the entire game. Druids of every Spec can find a role for themselves at the end-game whether it's Raiding or PvP.

If you have ever played World of Warcraft before you know that each class, including Druids, are split into three talent trees. I will take you on a tour of the Druid's different talent trees.

There is the Balance tree which will make the Druid very efficient with spell damage dealers and also allow for great damage spells. Another great aspect of Balance talents is the ability to modify healing costs which is a must for an effective healer.

The Feral Combat tree that uses the shape shifting Druid forms of Cat, Bear, and Dire Bear, focus on either tanking (Bear and Dire Bear), or on melee DPS (Cat Form). Learning the right time to change forms is very important. If specializing in the Moonkin form, you need huge amounts of maximum Mana, and some Feral Combat talents will modify it.

The Restoration tree focuses on healing spells, making the Druid a very efficient healer, especially because of the Tree of Life form that Druids learn by investing in this talent tree. Some Restoration talents like Furor, will give the Druid Rage when they switch into either Cat or Bear Form. Other talents like Natural Shape Shifter will reduce the Mana cost of shape shifting by thirty percent.

There are a few problems with playing a Druid that you should be aware of. Because Druids can do so many things it can be hard to focus on one strategy. It is also necessary to carry more equipment than other characters since different Forms require different gear, so you will need several complete sets.
