subject: Druid Build And Druid Talent Trees [print this page] Being a hybrid with four different abilities (tanking, healing, ranged damage dealing, and melee damage), you have a really versatile character that can do anything the nature allows it to do. However, despite having all these, Druids still need to focus on a specific Druid build so they become more effective.
The Druids have at their disposal 3 different builds or talent trees Balance, Feral and Restoration to which you can split your talent points between as you progress through the game.
{The Balance Tree}
This is the route to take if you are looking to create a druid that specializes in ranged spell casting. The Balnce tree creates a character that have a plays style comparable to a Shadow Priest, an Elemental Shaman, and a Mage.
Most of the talents in this tree are focused on creating a character that has enhanced ranged spells and abilities, decent damage, and threat reduction capacities. This tree also offers a number of enhancements to any druids following the Restoration route.
Three of the more valuable talents to pick up from this build are the Nature's Majesty, the Moonkin Form, and the Eclipse. Nature's Majesty increases the damage dealt by the Starfall, Starfire and Wrath. This talent also helps with your Balance Druid. The Moonkin form, a shapeshifting ability, is good for increasing your Druid's armor, spell critical strikes, and raid spell critical. The Eclipse, meanwhile, is perfect for raiding druids.
{The Feral Tree}
The melee DPS and tank of the Druids, the Feral Druid works like a Rogue or a Warrior that can heal. This tree focuses mainly on enhancing the strength of the Druid in its animal form. The Feral Druid can impressive casting as well since it still possesses the core abilities of the class. The Feral tree is very popular as a multi-purpose tree which can create characters that can do impressive soloing, PvP, raiding and leveling.
Three of the must-have talents from this tree are the Berserk, Furor and Predatory Strikes.
{The Restoration Tree}
The Restoration tree is the path to take if you're trying to improve your Druid's healing capabilities. In this tree, you get a few extra impressive healing spells, additional talents that may complement your Balance or Feral Druid, and of course the Tree of Life.
As a Restoration Druid, you will have the game experience similar to a Priest, a Holy Paladin or a Restoration Shaman. {All of which after all are specced for healing}. Some of the talents you would want to pick from this tree are the Intensity for better mana regeneration, Improved Regeneration, an excellent choice if you're going the route of the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Life which is essentially the best talent to get if you want to delve deep into the Restoration tree.
You get the point Druids are a really flexible class they can take any role there is
given of course that they are properly geared and specced for a specific role or Druid build.
