Druid Talent Builds
Druids are one of the misunderstood classes of world of Warcraft. You’ll find there are a few druids running around, and most people won’t look twice at them. Well that is until there is a bear running at them, or a cat chasing them, then people on the pvp battle grounds flee in fear.
You’ll find there are two main builds of talents for druids in wow, They are the feral druid talent builds, and the resto talent builds, which is short for restoration talent build.
The Restoration talent build is straight forward, the entire idea of it is to make your druid into a primary healer, and it works very well. Once you have spent 15 talents into the resto tree, you’ll be into the gold so to speak, that is when all the good restro talents start becoming available. As you go further into the tree, you’ll see your healing powers growing quickly. You’ll find you’ll be able to act as the primary healer in a group by the time you hit somewhere around the 30’s.There isn’t much more you can do with a restoration build, but in the end, the idea is you stand back from the front lines, and provide healing and buffs to your group. If you keep most of your talents in the resto tree, you’ll find you’ll become a very powerful healer .
The Feral Druid builds come in two distinct versions, bear and cat, you can interchange the the forms, but what it comes down to, is bear form for tanking, and cat form for dps. However you’ll find that the bear form can still cause a lot damage and the cat form can still quite a bit of damage. If you want to look at it from another angle, the bear form is a lot like a warrior, and the cat form is alot like a rogue. In the end, which one you fire up will depend on how your group is configured and what you are hunting, or the instance you are about to run.
The one thing you need to look out for as a feral druid, is if you want to do PvP or not, the reason for this, is there are a few talents in the feral tree that aren’t good for Standard PvP, like adding in stun to your attacks, while this will be great for PvP a lot of monsters in WoW are immune to stun, so it won’t work at all.
Now, do you go Feral PvP Druid, Feral PvE druid, or Resto druid? The first thing i would suggest to you would be to get the dual talent build specialization skills, this will allot you to keep two sets of talents trained, and you can swap easily. I would recommend a resto druid build as one of your builds, as it’ll mean you’ll always be able to get a group easily. If you’re not into Battle grounds, or on a PvP server, going a more PvE build for your feral build. In the end, you need to work out if your play style is sit back and heal and help, or if you wish to rip things apart… fast.
The real fun with a druid doesn’t really start until your in your 70’s, if you want a fast way to get to your 70’s, and also afford the 1000gold needed for the dual talent specialization skill, check out our wow quest helper addon.
