Druid Talent Builds

Balance

Balance druids specialize in offensive ranged spell casting.

Starter Raiding Build (55/0/16)

This is a starter build for raiding. It features Improved Faerie Fire to make up for the difficulty of obtaining spell hit in pre-raid gear. When beginning raiding your spell crit and mana regeneration will be low, making it difficult to go the distance in long boss fights, so maximum talents have been spent in mana conservation and regeneration talents like Moonglow, Dreamstate and Intensity.

Further Raiding Build (58/0/13)

Once your gear has enough hit, crit, intellect and spirit on it, you can move points from Moonglow, Dreamstate and Intensity and place them in DPS talents like Celestial Focus, Improved Insect Swarm and Improved Moonfire and still maintain your mana over a long fight. This build is entirely focused on single target DPS. Glyphs of Moonfire and Starfire are essential.

AOE Raiding Build (58/0/13)

This build takes several talents to improve AOE damage, notably Starfall, Gale Winds and Typhoon. Genesis affects Hurricane so for maximum focus on AOE reinvest points from Improved Moonfire and Improved Insect Swarm to max it.

PVP Starter (66/0/5)

World PvP/BG Build (51/0/20)

This is an average PvP build for moonkin. If you prefer doing more damage or do not use Rejuvenation, you can replace Improved Rejuvenation with Eclipse (I don't think that this is very usefull talent in PvP)

Feral Combat

Feral druids specialize in animal forms: cat form for physical damage and bear form/dire bear form for tanking. For information about feral druid tactics, see Druid tactics/Feral.

Basic Raid Tank (0/58/13)

Takes all the tanking talents, skips Primal Precision since it's more of a cat/DPS talent. Rend and Tear and Primal Gore are now essential for tanking because Lacerate critical ticks grantSavage Defense. Note: It is relatively easy to go 3/5 in Furor_(Druid) to allow for 2/2 Primal Precision. The expertise does have some use for threat generation, and the only drawback of 3/5 Furor_(Druid) is sometimes having to shapeshift a few times to get the starting 10 rage.

Raid AOE DPS (0/54/16)

Murna's ElitistJerks Cat DPS Guide for Dummies AOE spec. For further guidance see Feral DPS Guide.

Raid Single-target DPS (0/54/16)

Murna's ElitistJerks Cat DPS Guide for Dummies Single-target spec. For further guidance see Feral DPS Guide.

Raid DPS (0/54/17)

Astrylian's Rawr Cat spec. For further guidance see Feral DPS Guide.

PvP Cat (0/59/12)

This build is most ideal in pvp battlegrounds and arena. You may substitute Predatory Instincts for Protector of the Pack if you need more survivability. It may also be worth dropping 2 point from Natural Shapeshifter/Predatory Instincts for Primal Precision if you are really low on hit.

Basic Leveling Build (0/56/15)

A basic DPS Cat leveling build, get to Mangle as quick as you can :) Includes Brutal Impact to allow more time for the standard Pounce -> Faerie Fire (Feral) -> Mangle -> Shred -> Rake -> Rip or Ferocious Bite

Restoration

The Restoration tree empowers the druid's heal over time spells (hots) and their other generic healing spells. The specs listed below are for level 80 only. For leveling specs, locate yourself to the WoW Druid Forums. For healing tactics and information, see Druid tactics/Restoration.

Starter Build - Regen & Sp (11/0/60)

Haven't stepped into heroics or tier 7 content? Well, your main issue will be mana regen and spellpower.

Beginning T7 - Haste (18/0/53)

You've stepped out of heroics and into tier 7 content. You will still continue to stack spellpower and regen, but you will also start to stack haste and work towards your gcd cap.

Further Tiers (13/0/58)

You can easily reach your gcd cap with gear as you progress. Now that you are haste capped, you ask what do I do now? Pull the 3 points from CF and the 1 point from Brambles to add those points in other locations.

PvP Restoration

Feral Charge/Resto (0/37/34)

This built dates back to the Burning Crusade, when arenas first started and Restoration druids dominated. Works well with a Warrior and other melee classes.

Restokin aka Dreamstate (31/0/40)

Another old spec from the Burning Crusade.

With the new changes to Moonkins in 3.2.2, this spec is the new hottest and better than IC as far as pushing dps. You can still heal efficiently also. Suggestion is to use this spec with a Mut Rogue, Elemental Shaman, or Warlock (depending on spec).

Lunar Guidance/Resto (23/0/48)

This spec is built for cleave teams. In other words, 3v3 bracket.

Deep Restoration (13/0/58)

Used in the 5v5 bracket.
