World of warcraft druids: guide to the rogue warrior mage of wow
Most Wow guides 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 to play as a warrior in world of warcraft I always wondered what made some players able to transform to cat, bear or even a tree. This is how I found out that you can you to do this if you select the right race. Yes for this is a class easy to miss as only Night Elf on Alliance and Tauren on the Horde side are allowed to play Druid which is probably 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 and they do this depending on what form, racial or animal, that they can transform in. In their normal (or racial) form they can both cast spells and use weapons, whereas in bear form they can act as tanks nearly as effectively as warriors or paladins,In tree form they are much sought after healler in raids and group battle; and in cat form 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 whether 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 Palandins as tanks while druids specializing in Restoration make very good healers since they are the best at healing over time which is a great asset for parties doing raids.
Like Shamans Druids allow 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 tired playing as a healer you can also unlearn these talents and re-distribute the talents to become a feral or balance druid. However hard core Druids are inclined to play 3 druids at once to relish 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
