Druid Talent Guide

• Keeper of the Grove (Balance Druid):

Sporting much improved AoE, a highly prized aura in groups, and facing much better itemization in WotLK, expect to see a lot more Balance Druids then before. With a great deal more mana replenishment talents leveling as Balance has much less downtime then pre-expansion.

• Animagus (Feral Druid):

Feral Druid have been given a pretty large overhaul in both talents and mechanics for WotLK. Feral talents are now somewhat split up between tanking and DPS making end-game Druid have too choose a specific specialization path unlike pre-expansion. The title build focuses around a more general solo and tanking instance-friendly hybrid picking up both bear and cat talents.

• Preserver (Restoration Druid):

With some much needed AoE and direct target healing buffs, Resto in WotLK is far more versatile then ever before. However, even with the merging of healer and caster gear, Resto still is a mediocre solo tree. Although it comes with huge survivability, solo speed is slow.

/cancelaura [mounted] Frostwolf Howler
/cast [nostance] Dire Bear Form;
/equip [nostance] Warden Staff
/equip [nostance] Idol of Brutality
.Shift to Dire Bear From from any form, equip Warden Staff and Idol of Brutality only when you actually shift to Dire Bear. Note that the test for the equip is still [nostance] because it hasn’t yet registered that the stance has changed. You don’t need to worry about the global cooldown, because the stance change and the weapon equip both trigger it at the same time, so you only suffer once. (…equipping things can be done during global cooldown.) I haven’t tried, but I suspect that reversing these would cause the change to bear form to fail, since it would then be trying to do it during the weapon change’s global cooldown.
