World Of Warcraft Druid Guide – The Rogue Warrior Mage

World Of Warcraft Druid Guide – The Rogue Warrior Mage

Any World of Warcraft guide on Druids will no doubt describe their ability to shape shift. No wonder as this is the most significant feature of this Wow hybrid class. When I started playing my warrior in Wow I always wondered what made some players able to change to cat, bear or even a tree. That is how I found out that you could play a class that allowed you to do this if you chose the right race. In this respect Druids seem to be a well kept secret, for this is a class easy to miss when you consider that only Night Elf on Alliance and Tauren on the Horde side are allowed to play Druid – which is perhaps why you see so few around.

Druids are defined as a hybrid class due to the way they can emulate the same attributes of other classes depending on which animal or racial form they take on. In their normal (or racial) form they can both cast spells and use weapons, while in bear form they can act as tanks almost as effectively as warriors or paladins, in tree form are sought after healers for raids and group combat; and in cat form they have they have the stealth of rogues but with the added advantage of greater speed. Furthermore, as a Druid progresses through more levels it has many more animal forms it can assume both for combat or healing and to travel by land, sea and, in Outland, by air (Swift Flight Form).

Druids can go on later in the game to specialize into becoming either a Balance, Feral or Restoration Druid. A balance Druid will be one specializing in casting like a Mage or Warlock, while acting as secondary healers to Priests. Feral druids represent an excellent alternative from Warrior or Paladins as tanks whereas Restoration druids make for very good healers especially as they are the best at healing over time which is of great aid during raids.

Like Shamans Druids provide the player a very flexible and versatile character to play WoW. In one character you have the opportunity to explore what you enjoy to play best: whether it’s a healer, caster or tank. And if you become bored playing as a healer you can even unlearn these talents and re-distribute the talents to become a feral or balance druid. However hard core Druids tend to play 3 druids at once to enjoy each mode of play and of course if you are good at mixing talent builds you can always play all at the same time. But that would require an expert to write that particular world of warcraft druid guide to show how it could be done, which I am sure you will once you have played Druid for a while.
