Why Play A Druid?

What is playing a Druid all about?

''Druids harness the vast powers of nature to preserve balance and protect life. With experience, druids can unleash nature’s raw energy against their enemies, raining celestial fury on them from a great distance, binding them with enchanted vines, or ensnaring them in unrelenting cyclones.''

The druid is a shape shifting hybrid class, and actually the only class in the game that has the luxury of 4 different specialisations:-

•  Moonkin - Uses a mix of Arcane and Nature magic to destroy foes from a distance. Also known as “moonkin,” which is their iconic form. Ranged DPS spec.
• Feral - Uses 'Tooth and Claw' to rip apart their foes at close range, predominantly a DOT based spec with their bleeds.
• Restoration - A healer class the specializes in HOTS, has a vast array of powerful instant heals.
• Gaurdian - A big old bear capable of absorbing huge amounts of damage with thier enhanced Armour and HP.

 

Each spec has it's own quirks and play-style, from a players point of view this adds a greater depth to the class and raises the bar when it comes to playing a Druid to a high standard. The key to to playing a Druid well is understanding the class through and through down to the very last passive. As a druid you can change into bear or cat form regardless of what specialization you are in, giving you even more utility and versatility.


DRUIDS ARE FUN!!!!
