The Druid in World of Warcraft is, in my humble opinion, a blast to play. You can be a warrior, spell caster and rogue all at once. You get to turn into cats and bears and birds and all sorts of stuff. It’s fun. It’s challenging. It can be a pain in the butt. There are some great guides for getting you started down the right path on your Druid life out there. Here are three spots to check out:
From the official World of Warcraft site…
“Druids are the keepers of the world and masters of nature with a diverse array of abilities. They are powerful healers, capable of curing poisons and raising fallen comrades in the thick of battle. Druids also command nature’s wrath, calling down ranged blasts of energy, summoning swarms of insects, or entangling their foes in the earth. But druids are also masters of the wild, able to shape shift into a great bear, cat, or even sea lion, gaining their powers in combat or travel. Druids are a diverse class with a variety of play styles, capable of filling any role…” You can read the rest of the article and get the “official” specs here – Wow Druid Information.Over at Regression there is a great write up on the druid showing different forms and spells. Sort of an all at once in your face breakdown of the Druid and what they can do…
“Druids are essentially 3 classes in one. Healer, Warrior & Rogue. The druid is also known as the Jack of all Trades, master of none. Druids accomplish this all in one feat with shape shifting. In their normal form they are the 2nd best healers in the game. Have formidable dots and nukes and the best buff in the game. In bear form they are a warrior with less varity & a bit less armor. In cat form they are a rogue with less variety, and a bit less damage. Being able to switch classes on the fly makes druids quite adaptable and versatile.” Read the whole the whole article here – Druid Info.
Finally over at WoW Stratics there is a nice write up on the Druid choice and style of playing…
“A Druid is one who believes in the ways of nature above all things. They are so in tune with nature that nature enhances their abilities and defines the way they live. In Word Of Warcraft this makes them magicians who use nature to battle their enemies, take the form of fearful beasts, and to assist them through many adventures across Azeroth. Druids are known as a “hybrid class”, this means they are a jack-of-all trades pulling abilities from several different WoW classes. They have the ability to heal, to cast ravaging magic, to stand brave in the face of an enemy, or to sneak around behind danger and attack it where it hurts the most. Because of the Druid’s wide array of abilities they are not specialized in one and cannot perform as well as another class who specialize in that area of battle. Do not let that dissuade you from become a mighty Druid for where they lack they make up in versatility.” Be sure to read the whoe article by clicking here – Druid Choice. Thanks!
