Druid - Up to Date Info.
Available Races: Night Elf, Tauren

The Druid:

Druids are essentually 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 shapeshifting. 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 varity, and a bit less damage. Being able to switch classes on the fly makes druids quite adaptable and versitile. This also can make a druid quite difficult to play as the class takes some advanced play styling to do well. They also lack a defined role in a group. This can be a good and bad thing. Its good because a druid can fit into any group. If the group already has 2 healer's he can just be a back-up tank with bearform or a dps melee with rogue form. Or if the tank or healer goes down, the druid can switch to that role and save the group. Or this no defined role can be a bad thing. Some people may not want to group with a druid as why take a druid when you could get a preist, warrior, or rogue? But most people should realize the power and versatility of a druid means they get 3 classes for the price of one.

Druid is also my favorite, and the class I will be playing in Retail.

 

 

Class Travel: Travel Form

 

 

The Druid obtrains Travel Form at level 30, 10 levels before hes allowed a mount, and 100 gold cheaper. While its not quite as fast as a mount, its still a very cool ability and can be done on the fly.

However, while in this form you are concidered a beast, thus you can be affected by beast specific spells. Travel form does not work indoors.

The above picture is what Night Elf & Tauren Travel form looks like.

Class Popularity

Here are some statistics for how popular the druid was in the 9 day Stress Test. The full of this information can be found here

9% of characters on Alliance were Druid
7% of characters on Horde were Druid

Armor & Defense
Cloth
Leather
Bear
@ 10
Dire Bear
@40

The Druid can only wear a maxium of leather armor, which is better then cloth of course but not real effective at protecting you. However, the Druid can assume Bear & Dire Bear forms at 10 and 40. These forms greatly increase armor, attack power, and hitpoints. Especially Dire Bear. In these forms the druid can tank about as well as a full fledged Warrior, but hes no where near as versitile in this form as a Warrior.

Shapeshift Forms

Bear Form
Above: Night Elf Druid's Bear Form

Obtainable at level 10, this is the first form a druid gets. Its also one of the most essentual. In this form, the druid assumes the role of a Warrior. Gaining increased hit points, armor, and attack power the druid makes a formidable tank in this form. As an acting warrior, you gain rage from combat and spend the rage on special abilites and attacks. The most essentual is the taunt ability. This is what will allow you to play the "tank" if needed. You wont use it in solo game but its your best friend in party play. There are many other abilities you can use your rage on as well. Check the Bear Form section of the page.

Aquatic Form
Above: Night Elf Druid's Aquatic Form

Aquatic form grants the druid increased swimming speed and water breathing. Though its very useful for underwater adventures, out of water where you will spend most of your time, its more of a comic releif. You can actually attack while in aquatic form, though you do very little damage. Its not every day you run through town and see a huge sea lion flopping around at the bank. Aquatic from is available upon reaching level 16

Cat Form
Above: Night Elf Druid's Cat Form

Cat form is available at level 20 ands its the form you'll be using for added DPS in groups and solo. For it allows the druid to become a rogue. Like the warrior form, the rogue form is as powerful as a real rogue but far less versitile. You of course can stealth and "prowl" around, then "pounce" for a backstab. You work off of energy just like a real rouge, as you use your combat moves your energy level goes down, and you have to wait a few seconds with just normal auto-attack going to gain energy back. You perform opening moves, and chain together combos of these moves each successful hit gives you a combo point. The maxium ammount of combo points you can get is 5. These combo points are spent on "finishing moves" which do damage or have an effect based on how many combo points you built up before executing a finishing move. The higher your combo points when you perform a finishing move, the more devastating the attack/effect will be. Check below under Cat Form Abilities for more information on what combat moves a druid gets in this form.

Travel Form

While its not quite as fast as a mount, its still a very cool ability and can be done on the fly. However, while in this form you are concidered a beast, thus you can be affected by beast specific spells. Also not useable indoors.

Dire Bear Form

Looks the same as Bear Form.

Dire Bear form is one you definatly have to work for. Its a level 40 ability, and is an upgrade to Bear Form. Basically the ammount of HP, Armor & Attack power is increased greatly. Check in Abilities & Spells section for more detailed information.

Pictures of Tauren forms comming soon...though they look nearly the same as Night Elf forms, just instead of glowing eyes and long ears they have more muscular bodies and horns. Tauren cat form looks similar to a lion with horns.

Druid Abilities & Spells

Here are some things to note when looking through the Druid's abilities. Any attack/spell that's labeled as an Instant, is just that, Instant, and is not affected or does not affect any other combat/casting timers. What this means is, you don't have to stop and cast the spell. You could cast it while running, or meleeing. It also means, you will keep doing your steady, auto hits based on the delay of your weapon, and instants, don't count for an attack round. So essentially, you could lands 2 hits at once...your normal timed auto-attack, and the instant. If the cast time is labeled as Next Melee, then it wont perform the action until your next attack round comes. That is based on your weapons delay. It is not an additional attack, but takes the place of your normal auto attack for that round.

Also, as you will see, there is a # of Ranks next to each ability. For example, Moonfire has 10 ranks. This means there are 10 upgrades that follow from the level you get the ability to level 60. You can see what level you get Rank 1 of an ability by looking at the level under the picture for each ability. I did it this way so you could just skim through what a druid can do, without having to filter through just basic upgrades. There are other sites out there that have this information. This page is intended to help you choose a race and a class, and fill you in on the capabilities of a druid.

Interrupting a spell in World of Warcraft just means prolonging the time it takes to cast it by X seconds. Where as stun, will completely stop and abort a spell from being cast and needs to be cast again.

Of course all spells below cost mana. Unless otherwise noted, some may use Rage or Energy depending on what form you are in. The mana cost & strength for each gets higher with each rank of the spell. Again I chose not to display mana cost details due to simplifying reasons of quickly browsing a druid's abilities. Though I did Italic the portion of the spell that grows stronger with each rank. Some spells may list something like 2-3 sec cast time in Italic. This means the spell starts at 2 seconds to cast at rank 1, then grow to 3 with higher ranks.

Spells that can be cast Instantly have their cast time of "Instant" underlined to stress the power of the spell. Instant spells are by far more powerful the spells that take time to cast, so I felt it must be noted when browsing through.

Some abilities are upgradable with talents. There will be something that looks like this: Upgradable: +15% Damage to show what the ability will max out at if upgraded with talents. You will not be able to get all of the upgrades. You earn one talent point a level starting at 10-60. So thats 51 points you can put towards talents, or only about 1.5 talent trees. Use talent calculator websites to determine what you want, talents listed here are for browsing use.
