Official Description: Druids live in unparalleled unity with nature. They are closely connected to the plant and animal kingdoms, can effortlessly change their form, and therefore know firsthand the abuses their wild brothers face. As a result, druids tend to be wary, reclusive, and hard to find, despite their multitude. Only a few outsiders have managed to uncover their secrets.

What are the strengths? The biggest advantage of druids is their flexibility. Although they only have 3 talent trees, they can take on all 4 possible roles in the game: Tank, Healer, Ranged DPS, and Melee DPS.

In addition, the various animal forms they can switch to depending on the situation allow them to endure a lot, remove troublesome debuffs, or move quickly from point A to B. With Mark of the Wild (Increases the target’s armor, attributes, and resistances for 1 hour), Rebirth (a resurrection spell in combat), and Innervate (restores a large amount of the target’s mana), they are welcome in any group.

Further advantages of druids concerning individual roles:

  • As a healer, druids provide the strongest healing-over-time effects, efficient single-target heals, and high mana efficiency. They can also remove poisons and curses.
  • As a Balance ranged DPS, they bring special buffs and debuffs through their Moonkin form (the owl form of druids) and Insect Swarm (less chance to hit and nature damage for enemies). Additionally, they can control multiple opponents simultaneously.
  • Focusing on Feral, druids can tank or deal damage with just one specialization. This makes them the perfect off-tank, stepping in situationally. They can also stealthily sneak past dangerous enemies as a cat.

What are the weaknesses? The enormous flexibility comes at the cost that the druid is not perfect at anything. In most situations, other tanks, healers, or damage dealers are better. The Moonkin still has to prove that it can keep up with other offensive spellcasters at level 60.

Pro
  • The most versatile hybrid class in Azeroth
  • Cool animal forms provide versatility and variety
  • Can resurrect once in combat
  • With high mobility, the perfect flag carrier in Warsong Gulch
Contra
  • Not the best class in any role
  • Moonkins were nearly unplayable in Classic and are still a big question mark in Forever endgame
  • Requires a lot of space for gear pieces to fully utilize its strengths

The druid is ideal for: Anyone who does not want to commit to one role for eternity or simply enjoys being able to help the guild wherever needed. Druids are team players who do not care about always being at the top of the DPS or HPS list. Instead, they bring many other advantages to every community.
