Druids
The druids in WoW are masters of nature who have a wide array of abilities who can control and command nature and summon swarms of insects. They have the power of shape shifting into animals such as the bear, cat or even a sea lion. Druids generally shape shift into many forms in a single battle in order to win the battle, this is done by being versatile, in this case by changing forms. The bear form has a high armor and health, the cat form has speed and agility, so this shows the druids can adjust to almost all conditions of a battle. Druids in World of Warcraft are an excellent class for farming gold - just like the hunter who is also good as a money making class.
The druids have single target and multiple target spells similiar to other casters like mages, both for attack and for healing. Balance druids specialize in an assortment of damage spells and an additional moonkin form, which makes them an efficient spell caster, but still have lesser ranged spell casting power than a mage. The attacks of the druids are close ranged direct and multiple target spells. Wrath, moonfire, starfire are all spells that cause damage to the enemy in a duration of a few seconds but at the cost of huge amount of mana.
Thorns and entangling roots both cause roots to sprout from the target causing damage over a long period of time, sometimes in minutes. Teleport moonglade is a spell that teleports the caster to a city in moonglade, this is an escape tactic. The druids are known for their power over nature and they also have spells to calm down animals and other beasts such as soothe beast and hibernate spells. Hurricane is ability the druid possesses, the hurricane causes damage to the enemy and also reduces their attack speed making them easier to attack using melee attacks.
The druid has the power of shape shifting into a bear, cat and aquatic form. In the bear form the druid has a higher armor and hence has attacks such as taunt, maul, enrage. The bear form also has attacks such as swipe and regeneration. In the cat form the druid has a higher agility and has attacks such as prowl, claw and rake.
The druid, like the death knight, can regenerate his health making the class a perfect soloing money maker and gold maker. The spells such as mark of the wild, healing touch and regrowth causes the druid to regain his health, but these spells can only be cast if the druid is in his castor form.
The druid has the ability to heal and resurrect others, and escape from snares. This is useful in PvM but not very useful in PvP. Although the druid may shape shift into different classes it still cannot be as powerful as their counterpart classes. They are restricted to leather armor and cannot use spells in their animal form.
The druid is not as good as it once was in PvP matches, the best strategy in player v player arena matches is to attack with starfire first then cast moon fire and faerie fire, and this will weaken the enemy’s armor, now the druid can use melee attacks to defeat the enemy. The strategy suggested is just one of the many that can be used by the druid.
The druid would do very well in quests of almost all kinds, as he is a versatile character who can adapt very easily - this is very important in a online game like World of Warcraft.
In conclusion the druid is perfect for players who prefer to have a planned strategy during a match and can cast spells fast.
