    I. Introduction

    Welcome to my Druid FAQ, in this FAQ I shall explain how the

    Druid works to the best of my abilities, the Druid is an awesome

    character, and I enjoyed choosing it as my first class in this

    game. If you see any mistakes, or something I forgot to add tothis Druid FAQ, then let me know by sending me a E-Mail and

    proper credit will be given, but make sure it says 'World of

    Warcraft' or something similar on the title of the E-Mail,otherwise It'll treat it like spam and delete it.

    *****************************************************************

    II. What is a Druid?

    A Druid is a special hybrid class available that can behave like

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    2/34

    Warriors, Rogues, and Priests because of the many Druid skills

    you'll get in the game, what makes a Druid a fun class to use is

    because of the animal transformations you can get, you cantransform into a bear, or a cool cat form, there are also a

    Travel form, and a Sea Travel form for speed bonuses even before

    level 40 when you usually have to buy a mount if you have enoughGold as mounts can be very expensive. Remember that only Night

    Elves, and Taurens can become Druids, below I shall explain the

    two races that can become Druids, and their racial straits:

    ***Night Elves***

    ---Racial Traits---

    Shadowmeld: You can enter Stealth mode for as long as you hold

    still, not bad for a racial skill, you can use it to hide from

    monsters if you're low on health, but don't think you can use itto hide from high level enemies. If they get suspicious they'll

    search the spot where you are hiding, and they'll attack youright away, but other than that this skill has its advantages,

    just remember to keep in mind of the 10 second cooldown after

    using it.

    Quickness: This is a passive skill that increases your chance to

    dodge by 1% which is better than nothing.

    Wisp Spirit: When you die (In which you will many times) you

    become a Wisp Spirit meaning your running speed will be increased

    by 50% until you get to your corpse, or a wondering kind heartedPriest/Paladin/Shaman revives you on the spot. Most definitely a

    cool passive skill, specially since other races have a 25% speed

    bonus when they are normal spirits.

    Natural Resistance: You start with a 10% bonus to your Natural

    Resistance, w00t.

    _________________________________________________________________

    ***Taurens***

    ---Racial Traits---

    War Stomp: With this skill you can stun at least 5 enemies within

    8 yards for 2 seconds, great skill against spell casters since

    they'll be interrupted when they are casting a spell that has a

    casting delay, but use this skill when you need to because of the

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    3/34

    2 minute cooldown.

    Endurance: This is a passive skill that gives your Tauren a 5%bonus in health, more health is always good.

    Cultivation: This is another passive skill that gives you a 15bonus points in your Herbalism profession which is kind of

    pointless if you're not interested in having Herbalism as a

    Profession.

    Nature Resistance: Same passive skill that the Night Elves have,

    it also gives you a 10% bonus to your Nature Resistance.

    _________________________________________________________________

    It makes no difference which of the 2 races you should use forthe Druid class, just choose the one that you'll be comfortable

    with, and enjoy the game. Like I said before, the Druid is aHybrid Class that behaves like Warriors when a Druid morphs into

    a Bear form, Rogues when a Druid morphs into a Cat form, and

    Priest when a Druid uses its healing spells (No transformation is

    required) because of the Druid skills available. Remember thatthe following is an opinionated info from experience after

    discussing this from other Druids, and players of different

    classes, so don't shoot me with hate mail because you reallydisagreed with me, and now some of the disadvantages of the

    Hybrid abilities of the Druid:

    Warriors Vs Druid (In Bear form)

    When a Druid transforms into a Bear they get a nice bonus indefense, and attack power, so this form is great for soloing, and

    helping your fragile spell casters, but the main problem is the

    Druid can only equip Staffs, and Daggers. With some training from

    Weapon Masters they can also use One, and Two Handed Maces. TheWarrior can actually use much stronger weapons Like Two Handed

    Swords, plus the Druid in Bear form doesn't have too many Bear

    skills that would suit him very well as a true tank, and in orderto use items, or other spells like healing the Druid has to

    transform back into it original humanoid form, you can't heal

    yourself or use items while you're in any of the animal forms.The Bear form is still a Tank without a shadow of a doubt, but

    only the Warrior has enough skills to actually tank better than

    the Bear form, and if you actually want to choose the Druid class

    to be the best tank in the game then you're better off choosing a

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    4/34

    Warrior instead.

    Rogues Vs Druid (In Cat form)

    When a Druid transforms into a Cat form they get a nice bonus in

    agility, and some attack power, this form is very useful sincewhile in Cat form you can actually attack faster than the Bear

    form, but do keep in mind the Cat form doesn't get a bonus in

    defense so don't treat it as a tank, you can also get a Cat skillcalled "Prowl" that puts your in stealth mode just like the

    Rogue, and with a few other stealth Cat skills you can actually

    sneak attack any unsuspected enemy that gets in your way with

    ease. So what's the problem with this form? First you can notcoat your weapons with poison like the Rogue can, second there

    aren't too many Cat skills that can make the Cat form into the

    ultimate sneaking device. If you're interested in become the

    greatest agent that only strikes from the Shadows then you'rebetter off by choosing a Rogue instead.

    Priest Vs Druid with healing spells

    You don't need to transform into any animal form in order to use

    any spells available, you just need Mana that's all. Like thePriest, the Druid has Healing spells that has a casting delay

    that heals plenty of HP, and a one that heals with no casting

    delay, but over 12 seconds, plus the Druid has a Resurrectionspell called Rebirth, but unlike the Priest's own Resurrection

    spell, the Druid's Rebirth spell can actually be used during

    combat, but it has 3 main problems; First the damn thing has a 30minute cooldown. Why does the druid have a cooldown resurrection

    spell while the Priest doesn't?!? Second, you need a regent like

    a Maple seed so you can use it, the only thing the Priest needsis to be out of combat. The third thing is the Druid can get the

    Rebirth spell at level 20 while the Priest can get the

    Resurrection spell at level 10. The Druid can still heal just

    like Priest, but ultimately the Priest is the #1 class that canheal better, and can actually resurrect fallen party members

    better than the Druid.

    _________________________________________________________________

    With that finally out of the way, now it is time to discuss howthe Druid can still be a great character to use =)

    III. Druid Skills

    Time to discuss the Druid skills with a rating from 1 being "Total crap" to a5 being "greatest of all time". In order to get these skills you have to see a

    Druid trainer, pay him the

    necessary cash, and the skill is yours. You can also update yourold skills when you reach the right level, so check often to

    upgrade the skills you want.

    1) Healing Touch

    This nifty skill is your main healing spell that heals a good

    chunk of your health, and of those who need healing. At higherranks it heals more while consuming more mana, always have this

    skill in your tool bar for easy access. You'll make a lot of

    people happy with this skill.

    Rating: 5/5

    2) Wrath

    This one of your attack spells you begin the game with, it comes

    in use during your first few levels. It doesn't deal with too

    much damage, and as soon as you learn a much better offense spelllike Starfire at level 20, Wrath will pretty much begin to gather

    dust from lack of use.

    Rating: 2.75/5

    3) Rejuvenation:

    This is another healing spell that actually is an instant cast

    spell that requires to casting delay, but the amount this spell

    heals isn't too much since it heals a small amount every 3seconds over a 12 seconds period. Try to use this spell before

    you start fighting a mob, or when you see somebody just starting

    to fight a monster for decent results. Don't rely on this spell

    if your health or those of others is getting low, use 'HealingTouch' instead.

    Rating: 3/5

    4) Mark of the Wild

    This is the greatest buff skill in the game, for 30 minutes itincreases your defense by a good amount, in higher ranks it will

    begin to increase your attributes, and your element resistances

    as well, you should always have this buff active. Period.

    Rating: 5/5

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    6/34

    5) Moonfire

    This is an instant cast spell meaning there will be no casting

    delay, it deals with damage over time, but the damage isn't too

    high, and it only last 9 seconds before you have to use it again,at least you can use it if you see a wondering player that's

    being chased by a critter so you can actually get the enemy's

    attention to you instead, it worked when I usually try thattactic, but that method doesn't seem to work too often. I wish

    the damage, and the duration could be a little higher.

    Rating: 3/5

    6) Thorns

    This is a nice buff you can use to add damage to those who try to

    attack you with melee attacks, remember that this buff is uselessagainst range attackers, and the damage this buff can inflict

    isn't too high either.Rating: 3/5

    7) Entangling Roots

    With this skill you can actually stop an enemy that runs away

    when their health is getting low, just use it, and watch as

    several big roots from the earth engulfs the enemy, keep in mindany additional damage you inflict can actually interrupt this

    spell, and free the enemy sooner than expected. Additionally you

    can use this spell to help other players escape if they are beingchased by the enemy, or use it to stop a pursing enemy, and get

    away without a scratch. Sadly this spell can only be used

    outdoors.Rating: 4.25/5

    8) Bear Form

    You need to complete a Druid quest at level 10 in order to get

    this ability, check the quests section for more details. This

    spell can transform a Druid into a Bear with increased defense,attack power, and help you escape from the Mage's polymorph

    effects. The Bear form can be use as a good tank to protect

    others.Rating: 4/5

    9) Growl

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    7/34

    This is a Bear only skill, you can force one enemy to focus his

    attention on you for a few seconds, good skill if you see another

    player being harassed by another enemy.Rating: 4/5

    10) Demoralizing Roar

    This is a Bear only skill, it actually lowers the attack power of

    enemies within close range, very useful when more than one mobget in your way, plus at higher ranks makes this skill even

    better. This ability only last 30 seconds before you have to use

    it again.

    Rating: 4/5

    11) Enrage

    This is a Bear only skill, it actually generates at least 20 ragepoints in 10 seconds, but your armor rating drops by 75%, the

    temporary loss of defense isn't really a big deal, and you canactually get more rage points more quickly when fighting, too bad

    this skill has a 1 minute cooldown specially if you're fighting

    one monster after another after using your other Bear skills that

    uses your Rage points.Rating: 4/5

    12) Regrowth

    This healing spell is both a Rejuvenation, and a Healing Touch at

    the same time, while this spell doesn't heal as much as theHealing Touch, as soon as it heals your HP you'll then get healed

    by an additional amount for 21 seconds. Pretty useful at times,

    but remember to use Healing Touch instead if your health isgetting low.

    Rating: 3.75/5

    13) Maul

    This is a Bear only skill, you can add additional damage the next

    time you attack a bad guy, more damage is always good.Rating: 4/5

    14) Bash

    This is a Bear only skill, with this ability you can stun one

    enemy for 2 seconds, and then 4 seconds at higher ranks, very

    useful against spell casters since they'll get their spells

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    8/34

    interrupted if they try to cast a spell with a casting delay, but

    use this skill when you really need to because of the 1 minute

    cooldown.Rating: 4/5

    15) Cure Poison

    You need to complete a special Druid only quest before you can

    get this skill, check the quests section for more details.Anyway, this skill comes in handy as no one likes to be poisoned,

    and the mana cost is very low, plus its an instant cast spell

    that requires no casting delay like the majority of the Druid

    skills.Rating: 5/5

    16) Swipe

    This is a Bear only skill, you can strike at least 3 enemies at

    once but I've seen the damage isn't great since it's fixed, andthis skill needs at least 20 rage points so you can use it, not

    good at all.

    Rating: 2/5

    17) Aquatic form

    In order to get this form you need to complete a Druid onlyquest, Check the quests section for more details. The Aquatic

    gives you a speed bonus while underwater, you can breath while

    underwater, and you look like a cool looking angry sealion.Rating: 4/5

    18) Fairie Fire

    This spell reduces the armor rating of the enemy so you can add

    extra damage, and the best thing about this skill is you can use

    it to stop an enemy from going invisible, either way the loss ofarmor it gives is still good enough to use it frequently.

    Rating: 4/5

    19) Hibernate

    This spell is a nice crowd control, it puts Beasts, and Dragonkintype enemies in sleep mode if you want to get away, or two

    beasties are getting very close to you, and you want to disable

    at least one of them. Just remember this spell doesn't work on

    demons, humanoids, and elementals, plus any damage you inflict on

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    9/34

    a sleeping enemy will wake it up. Only one enemy can be put to

    sleep at a time for 20 seconds.

    Rating: 4/5

    20) Cat form

    This spell can transform the Druid into a Cat form, unlike the

    Bear form, you don't need a special quest in order to get this

    skill, just pay the Druid trainer at level 20, and the Cat formis yours. In Cat form your agility increases, and so does your

    attack power, but not as much like you do in Bear form,

    additionally you can escape the effects to the Mage's Polymorph

    spell. The Cat form can be use for stealthy purposes, and one onone confrontations. The Cat form doesn't get a defense bonus, so

    don't use it as a tank.

    Rating: 4/5

    21) Claw

    This is a Cat only skill, it adds additional damage the next time

    the Druid attacks in Cat form, plus it adds 1 combo point for

    other Cat only skills that require combo points. More damage is

    always good, and the extra combo point always comes in handy.Rating: 4.25/5

    22) Prowl

    This is a Cat only skill, you can enter in stealth mode just like

    the Rogue, you can use it to sneak past enemies you don't want tofight, and this skill is needed to use other Cat skills that

    require you to be in stealth mode before you can use them.

    Remember that the Prowl skill can only be use when you're not incombat mode.

    Rating: 4.5/5

    23) Rebirth

    This is the Druid resurrection spell, just remember to bring the

    necessary regents in order to use it, and do keep in mind that indifferent ranks you'll need different regents so don't stock on

    Maple seeds when you get this spell the first time, at least you

    can use it during combat, but with a 30 minute cooldown you'llhave to use this skill sparingly, and pray your party members

    don't die before the cooldown is over. If there's a Priest, or

    Shaman, or a Paladin with you know that the Rebirth spell really

    comes in handy as those 3 have much better resurrection spells

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    10/34

    than the Druid.

    Rating: 3.5/5

    24) Rip

    This is a Cat only skill, Rip requires combo points before youuse it, this skill adds damage over time for over 12 seconds, the

    damage is better if you use it when you have more than one combo

    point on you. This skill is definitely useful on enemies thattend to run away, just use your 'Claw' ability to get those combo

    points, and then use Rip when the mob has its health halfway

    through, and then keep on hurting the enemy, and it'll die before

    long. Keep in mind some enemies are immune to this skill, RogueElemental Flames is one of the several enemies where this skill

    is useless against them.

    Rating: 4/5

    25) Starfire

    This offensive skill does twice the damage Wrath does, even with

    the 3 second casting delay Starfire is the spell you'll begin to

    use, and the Wrath skill will be a thing of the past.

    Rating: 4/5

    26) Shred

    This is a Cat only skill, you'll need to be in stealth mode, and

    move behind the target before you use it, Shred does a good

    amount to damage, and it awards one combo point as well. Use itwhenever you can, and until you get a much better sneaking skill.

    Rating: 4/5

    27) Soothe Animal:

    All this skill does is to lower the range in will the beast

    usually attacks you by 10 yards, too bad this skill only works onbeasts of level 40, and lower, but at rank 3 it'll work on

    enemies with a very high level, but still only beasts.

    Rating: 3.5/5

    28) Rake

    This is a Cat only skill, this attacks one enemy with a fixed

    amount of damage, and an addition damage over 9 seconds, not a

    great skill, but at least it awards one combo point. Keep in mind

    this skill doesn't work on enemies that can't bleed.

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    11/34

    Rating: 3/5

    29) Remove Curse

    This skill removes one curse from you, or a party member. Great

    skill as nobody likes to be cursed.Rating: 5/5

    30) Tiger's Fury

    This is a Cat only skill, use it whenever you want a boost on

    your attack power for 6 seconds. More damage is always good, I

    just wish the duration could be a little longer.Rating: 3.75/5

    31) Abolish Poison

    This actually attempts to cure poison from you, and additional

    poison attacks for the next 8 seconds, pretty good if you'refacing enemies that attack you with a few poison attacks that

    stack up.

    Rating: 4/5

    32) Dash

    This is a Cat only skill, you get a bonus speed whenever you useit for 15 seconds, just remember of the 5 minute cooldown before

    you use it, and this skill doesn't turn off the stealth mode from

    the Prowl skill. Pretty nice skill if you need to make a run forit after you screwed up on something, and need to get away.

    Rating: 4/5

    33) Channeling Roar

    This is a Bear only skill, basically this skill can force all

    nearby enemies to focus all attacks on you. This is a life saverfor spell casters who get harassed by mobs, but do remember this

    ability has a 10 minute cooldown.

    Rating: 4/5

    34) Cower

    This is a Cat only skill, you can use it to lower your threat

    level to a small amount in the first rank, higher ranks will

    increase the odds to lowering the threat level. Not bad if you

    want to skip a battle if you were doing something else, but don't

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    12/34

    expect this skill to work all the time.

    Rating: 3.75/5

    35) Tranquility

    This is a 'heal all' for the whole party, since this is achanneling spell you have to make sure there aren't any nearby

    monsters before you use it, otherwise this spell will be

    interrupted as you must hold perfectly still while you'rechanneling. This spell has a 5 minute cooldown, and it heals

    decently well.

    Rating: 3.5/5

    36) Travel Form

    This spell transforms the Druid into a different Cat form, but

    it's only useful in increasing your travel speed by 40% inoutdoors, pretty awesome to get something that'll give you a

    speed bonus before getting your mount, but remember this spelldoesn't work if you're indoors.

    Rating: 5/5

    37) Ferocious Bite

    This is a Cat only skill, this pretty much damages the enemy

    quite good if you have enough combo points. This skill is worthgetting.

    Rating: 5/5

    38) Ravage

    This is a Cat only skill, this ability is the same as Shred, butmore damaging, and as soon as you get the Ravage skill the Shred

    one shouldn't be used anymore.

    Rating: 5/5

    39) Track Humanoids

    This is a Cat only skill, and it does what it says, it tracks allhumanoids, and you'll see the yellow dots on your mini-map

    representing the nearby humanoids, but remember that only one

    type of tracking can be used at a time meaning that if you areusing a tracking from the Herbalism profession then it'll be shut

    off automatically if you switched to Track Humanoids. Not really

    a special skill, since there aren't too many humanoids throughout

    the game, and I'm pretty sure you'll be using a different

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    13/34

    tracking from your Mining, or Herbalism one instead.

    Rating: 3/5

    40) Frenzied Regeneration

    This is a Bear only skill, it pretty much converts 10 rage pointsinto health, but the healing from this ability isn't that great,

    so you're better off just morphing back into humanoid form, and

    use Healing Touch instead.Rating: 2/5

    41) Pounce

    This is a Cat only skill, you can use it only in stealth mode,

    and you must be behind the enemy, the fixed damage isn't that

    great, but you can stun the enemy for a few seconds which is

    good specially if you see an enemy caster fighting a player, youcan use pounce to interrupt their spell casting. This skill

    awards 1 combo point.Rating: 3.5/5

    42) Dire Bear Form

    This spell can transform the druid into a much better bear than

    the normal one, this Dire Bear form is quite powerful indeed.

    Rating: 4.5/5

    43) Feline Grace

    This is a Cat only passive skill in which reduces the damage from

    falling. Less damage from falling is always good.

    Rating: 4/5

    44) Hurricane

    This spell must be channeled to get it to it's full benefits, ina target area you can use the Hurricane to cause Nature Damage,

    and slowing the attack speed by 20%, useful when enemies are

    grouped together, and friendly players don't get damaged when youuse this skill(That's how I see it unless I made a small

    miscalculation), so it comes in handy when other players are

    getting surrounded by monsters.Rating 3.75/5

    45) Barskin

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    14/34

    This spell makes the Druid take less damage from attacks, and

    spells will not be interrupted, but all non-instant spells take

    an extra second before it can be cast, and your attack speed islowered for 15 seconds. Use this skill when you really need to.

    Rating: 3.5/5

    46) Gift of the Wild

    This spell is just like the normal Mark of the Wild, but this oneaffects all party members, and the effects will last for 1 hour.

    For the 2 ranks available you'll need different reagents before

    you use it like Wild Berries during the first rank, and Wild

    Thornroots during the second rank.Rating: 5/5

    *****************************************************************

    IV. Talents

    When you reach Level 10 you'll get a talent point, and so on

    until level 60. You can spent your wonderful talent points on the

    3 available Talent tress that can increase the effectiveness of

    the Druid, the majority of the skills you can get from the 3Talent tress are passive, but some are spells you cannot get from

    the Druid Trainer, you can only master 1 talent tree, you can't

    get enough talent points to master all 3 of them, so choosecarefully and see which Talent tree you'll feel more comfortable

    with. Each talent tree has 7 tiers, in order to get the skill you

    want you have to spend a set of talent points on a previous Tierin order to get the skill you want, you have to move from one

    tier to the other. The 3 available trees are discussed in 3

    categories: Balance, Feral Combat, and Restoration. You can seethe Talent Trees with the press of the "N" button on your

    keyboard for easy access.

    ***Balance Tree**

    This tree deal pretty much with your offensive Balance skills by

    improving them, good tree if you enjoy using your damagingspells.

    ---First Tier: 0 Talent points required---

    1) Improve Wrath (5 Ranks)

    ================

    This Talent decreases the casting delay of the Wrath spell by .1

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    15/34

    second with each rank. Wow! 1. second? Give me a break, since

    Starfire is a much better Balance spell this Tier 1 Talent is

    pretty crappy. NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Rating: 1/5

    2) Nature's Grasp (1 Rank)=================

    This spell is a self only buff, and when you use it you have a

    35% chance the enemy that attacks you head on will be inflictedwith Entangled Roots, pretty nice if you want to get away from an

    enemy, but this ability can only be used outdoors, and it has a 1

    minute cooldown.

    Rating: 4/5

    3) Improved Nature's Grasp (4 Ranks)

    ==========================

    This passive skill can upgrade the Nature's Grasp percentagefrom 35% up to 100% as soon as you put 4 Talent points, so

    therefore the Nature's Grasp can actually work 100% of the timeinstead of 35%. This passive Talent skill should be max to

    fully take advantage of the Nature's Grasp skill.

    1) Improved Entangling Roots (3 Ranks)============================

    This passive skill gives you a chance to avoid interruption

    whenever you cast the Entangling Roots skill, is up to you if youwant to put your talent points here. If you get tired of the

    interruption whenever you cast Entangling Roots because of the

    enemy attacks, then put your talent points right here.Rating: 3.75/5

    2) Improved Moonfire (5 Ranks)

    ====================This will increase the critical chances, and the damage of the

    Moonfire skill, not bad since this makes an ok spell even better,

    this is also a prereq for Vengeance, a Tier 4 Talent skill somight as well put your talent points here if you plan to

    master the Balance Talent tree.

    not bad since Thorns is a good skill to begin with.Rating: 3.5/5

    2) Omen of Clarity (1 Rank)

    ==================

    This passive skill needs you to put 5 talent points on the

    'Natural Weapons' Talent from the Tier 2 before you can use it,anyway, this skill gives the Druid a chance to enter a

    Clearcasting state in which reduces the amount of the skill that

    requires Rage/Energy/Mana by 100%. Pretty damn awesome skill, butthere's a catch. In order to be in a Clearcasting state you'll

    have to melee the enemies in your humanoid form, transforming

    into any of your animal forms don't seem to count, either that orI have been very unlucky. This skill usually comes in handy when

    you're in groups rather than soloing.

    rating, you can also use it to escape from the Mage's Polymorph

    effects, plus you'll emit an aura that'll allow party members to

    get their chances to score a critical from their spells by 3%,unfortunately you can only cast Balance spells in this form, and

    no, Healing spells are impossible to cast in this form meaning

    you'll have to morph back into your humanoid form in order to useyour healing spells, can't use items either while you're in

    Shapeshifting mode. It's shame you don't get any special Moonkin

    skills to go with this form, its still a fun transformation touse specially if you use the /dance emote to see your Moonkin

    dancing The Macarena. With the added defense this can be a good

    Tank to use although It'll leave that job to the Bear instead

    unless you want to obliterate the enemies with Balance spells.Rating: 4/5

    ---First Tier: 0 Talent Points required---

    1) Ferocity (5 ranks)

    ===========

    This passive skill can be seen in either two ways; either you max

    it or not. Basically all it does is reduce your Maul, Swipe,Claw, and Rake abilities by 1 Rage/Energy with each rank, if

    you're going to add 1 Talent point then for God's sake max the

    damn thing. It'll be a waste if you're going to just add 2 points

    here, and go to another talent skill to add your Talent pointsafterwards. Max this talent or don't put any Talent points here,

    anyway, the 5 point reduction does actually come in handy,

    specially both Maul, and Claw skills.Rating: 4/5

    2) Feral Aggression (5 Ranks)===================

    indeed so the Bear can protect any party members, and the Cat

    form can go unnoticed more than ever.

    2) Brutal Impact (2 Ranks)

    ================

    This passive skill increases the effects of the stun from both

    Pounce, and Bash abilities which is nice for the Cat form'sPounce skill, but not so great for the Bear's Bash skill since it

    has a 1 minute cooldown. It's up to you how you view this, I just

    didn't think this talent wasn't worth the talent points I gave it

    Holy Slag! This is the greatest restoration spell in the entiregame without a shadow of a doubt. Innervate will increase your

    mana restoration by a whooping 400%, and an additional 100% when

    you cast spells, in other words cast this baby on a Priest that

    has his/her mana very low, and watch that mana getting full atmad rates. This spell will make other spell casters your friend

    forever, but be very careful not to cast this on a Warrior, orRogue, otherwise it'll be a waste as neither of those two

    character classes use mana for their skills specially since this

    spell has a 6 minute cooldown, and you can expect Blizzard to

    nerf this skill if other players begin to whine like babies ifthey lose badly because a Druid was able to get its mana back so

    damn quickly with the use of Innervate, but until then enjoy this

    skill while you still can. It is good to be a Druid. =DRating: 5/5

    *****************************************************************

    V. Quests

    During the beginning of your adventures, you'll be asked to

    perform a few Druid only quests in order to receive some special

    skills that will come in handy, it won't matter if you're a Night

    Elf or a Tauren these quests should be done. While these questsare optional it'll make your life a lot easier if you complete

    them.

    1) ===Level 10 Druid Quest===

    *This quest will give you the ability to turn into a Bear*

    At level 10 any Druid Trainer will instruct you to go a see a

    very special Druid Trainer in a major city. For a Night Elf Druid

    you're required to go to Darnassus and speak with Mathrengyl

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    26/34

    Bearwalker in the Cenarion Enclave section of the city on the

    second floor of a tall tree building, and for the Tauren Druid

    you must go to Thunder Bluff and speak with Turak Runetotem onthe Elder Rise of Thunder Bluff, as soon as you get to the Elder

    Rise section of Thunder Bluff just check the biggest tent there,

    and Turak will be waiting inside. If you still can't find eitherone for your respected race, just ask one of the wondering city

    guards, and ask where you can find a Druid Trainer, and an icon

    will appear on your mini-map on your top right screen telling youwhere to go.

    Anyway, when you speak with either one of them you'll be told to

    travel to a Druid place called Moonglade and speak to someonecalled Dendrite Starblaze in the Nighthaven town in Moonglade.

    Don't worry about which route you'll begin to think of using in

    order to go to Moonglade, either Druid Trainer will give you a

    nice spell called Teleport to Moonglade which can be used anytimeto teleport to the Moonglade, this nifty spell will always

    Teleport you to the Moonglade whenever you want, which is fineindeed if your Hearthstone still has that 1 hour cooldown, but

    that teleportation spell will always teleport to Moonglade, and

    nowhere else.

    As soon as you get to Moonglade you must be prepared if you're

    playing in a 'Player vs Player server' for the region is

    contested, and players of the opposite faction may outright killyou if their levels are high enough, hopefully that won't happen

    if they are cool with you since most gankers are always asses who

    enjoy ripping apart players of lower levels. Anyway, just enterthe big house you see on your right, and speak with Dentrite who

    should be on the top of the house. The first part of this quest

    is the same for both Night Elves, and Taurens, you are to go andspeak with the Great Spirit Bear who is located along the

    mountains north west of Nighthaven. The Spirit Bear is easy to

    find, you won't fight him, he'll just tell you something about

    the Balance, and Strength of the Bear or something like that,there aren't any 'yes, or no' situations, just read what he has

    to say, and as soon as you do you'll receive an update from your

    quest log telling to go back to Dentrite to tell you the nextphase of the quest which is slightly different from both races,

    but the end of it will always be the same.

    Night Elf Strategy

    ------------------

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    27/34

    For Night Elves Dentrite will give you some special dust, and

    he'll tell you to go to the Night Elf beach village of Auberdine,

    and seek to defeat Lunaclaw a level 12 creature after putting thespecial dust on a special stone you have to find. Leaving the

    Moonglade is easy enough, just find the Alliance Hippogriff rider

    who is usually close to the Horde Wind Rider, and for free you'llbe in Rut'theran village which is outside of Teldrassil the Night

    Elves starting area. Now within Rut'theran village take the boat

    to Auberdine village which is free of charge. When you get toAuberdine get what you need from vendors, and repair your items

    if necessary.

    With everything ready follow the road out of town, and make aleft at the travel routes, and follow the road going to

    Bashal'aran, travel a few feet and you'll notice a cave to your

    right that's protected by critters called Moonkins, you have to

    beat them if they get in your way, and enter the cave. Thenyou'll see a special looking stone, use the special dust that

    Dentrite gave you, and be prepare to turn around, and buffyourself if you haven't done so because Lunaclaw will appear out

    of nowhere, and attack from the back, he'll enter the cave, and

    he'll start attacking you. Fight back, and defeat Lunaclaw,

    remember that Lunaclaw is a level 12 monster like I mentionedbefore, so you might want to gain 1 or 2 levels before fighting

    Lunaclaw if you're still at level 10, or bring a friend with you

    for better results. After defeating Lunaclaw speak with thespirit of Lunaclaw, and he'll tell you something, once again

    there aren't any 'yes or no' situations, so you have nothing to

    worry about, just read what Lunaclaw has to say, and get back toDentrite in Nighthaven.

    Back in the Moonglade, Dentrite will congratulate you, and tellyou to go to Darnassus and speak with Mathrengyl Bearwalker in

    the Cenarion Enclave once more, when you do you'll finally end

    this quest, and the Night Elf Druid will receive the Bear

    transformation skill. Good job :)

    ---------------

    Tauren Strategy---------------

    Tauren Druids don't need to Travel to Auberdine in order to fightLunaclaw, first of all that's an enemy Alliance town if you're

    playing a Horde race like the Taurens, second of all you can

    actually travel to Auberdine by foot to the cave where you can

    find Lunaclaw, but if you're playing on a 'Player vs Player'

    there a source of water, and see what can be done, Dentrite will

    give you a vial to gather some of the water that might hold a key

    in solving this mystery.

    ------------------

    Night Elf Strategy------------------

    For Night Elf Druids you have to go a specific cave north east ofAuberdine called the Cliffspring Falls, be very careful when you

    get there, the entrance of the cave is guarded by Naga warriors

    who are sea like humanoids you most likely remember if you played

    Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. Anyway, there will be somefighting when you get to the entrance of the cave, once the

    fighting is over check out the water that's falling from the

    entrance of the cave, use the vial that Dentrite gave you to fill

    it with water, and then you'll have to take that water sample toAlanndarian Nightsong (Not Dentrite) who can be found back in

    Auberdine where the Weaponsmith is located.

    Alanndarian will tell you to gather some special ingredients that

    will turn that water sample you gather into an antidote that will

    cure the sick deers throughout Darkshore, you need to gather 2specific items, first you need to get 12 Lunar Funguses, you can

    find some of them in the cave where you fought Lunaclaw, and

    others can be found in the near by caves that are populated byMoonkins. The other ingredient might be tricky to get, you are

    required to find 5 Earthroots, you can find them in the nearby

    ruins of Ameth'aran among a few places to look for in Darshore,or you can go back to Teldrassil, and find Earthroots outside of

    Darnassus. So what's the tricky part? You need the Herbalism

    profession in order to get the 5 Earthroot, if you do then it'sno sweat, but if you don't you have 2 choices you can do; Ask for

    people to see if you can buy Earthroots from them, if that

    doesn't work, then go to Ironforge, and check out the Auction

    House which is located east of the entrance, and see if there areEarthroots you can bid for, and no Darnassus doesn't have an

    Auction House, I always ask where the Auction house is located in

    Darnassus, and I'm always told to go to the one in Ironforge.

    Ironforge might be hard place to travel to, you have to get a

    boat from Auberdine to Menethil Harbor, once you get there makesure you speak with the Griffon Rider to mark a flying location,

    afterwards just follow the road out of town, and follow it east

    going through the nasty area of the Wetlands, there are critters

    there from levels 17-20, so be very careful as you travel. Make

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    30/34

    sure you follow the signs that will take you to Lock Modan inside

    a set of tunnels called Dun Lagaz that will take you to the starting Dwarf

    area of Dun Morog where Ironforge is located. The way to Dun Morog from theseDun Lagaz tunnels is usually populated by level 20 NPC Orcs from the Dragonmaw

    clan always in the way, since you'll no doubt still be around level 14 your

    only chance is to cast Entangling Roots, and pray that the enemy don't resistit, if it does work make a run for it to the other side while the high level

    enemy is paralyzed, keep doing this until to exit those tunnels. It is a good

    idea to have level 20 players with you to help you out until you exit thesedangerous tunnels if you can.

    As soon as you exit the tunnels you'll be in area of Loch Modan,

    and the monsters outside are around Level 10 or so, so there areno more worries. Follow the road south until you get to the Algaz

    Station, from there turn right, and go inside the North Gate pass

    tunnel that will take you to Dun Morog, don't worry about this

    North Gate tunnel, Alliance Mountaineers keep it clean from anyhostiles. As soon as you get to the other side you'll finally be

    in Dun Morog at last, now all you have to do is follow the roadsigns to easily reach Ironforge which is the Dwarfs' Alliance

    capital city.

    Now that you reached your destination go and check out theAuction House and see if you can bid for Earthroots so you can

    finish this insane quest, if you're lucky, and see the Earthroots

    available to be bid for then do so, sometimes you can see abutton called "buy out" which will allow you to buy the

    Earthroots you need on the spot, if not you'll have no choice but

    to bid for them, once you do it'll take a while to see if yourBid was successful, if it was you'll see the mail icon on top of

    your mini-map telling you have a letter you should check, if the

    Auction bid was a success the Earthroots will be in theattachment, check any mailbox from any Inn. If you were outbid

    the only thing you'll see in the letter is your money back, so go

    back again, and see if you can bid them once more if you can't

    buy them out.

    Keep in mind you need at least 5 Earthroots, once you do got them

    it is now the time to go back, but there's no need to go on thatsuicidal trek again, just speak with the Griffon rider inside

    Ironforge so you can go back to Menethil Harbor for a safe ride

    for as long as you spoke to the Griffon Rider in the MenethilHarbor, you did speak with that Griffon rider when you arrived at

    the harbor right? If not then you still don't need to make those

    treacherous tunnels going back, just use your Moonglade

    teleportation skill to go back to Nighthaven as a last result.

    With the 12 Lunar Funguses, and 5 Earthroots at last in your

    hands go and see Alanndarian Nightsong in Auberdine so she maymake a cure to help the poor deers in Darkshore. Alanndarian will

    give you the antidote which is good enough for 10 doses, now go

    and find the sick deers which are through out Darkshore, and healthem. Once any of the 10 sick deers are healed go back to

    Dentrite in Nighthaven who will congratulate you on this bizarre

    quest, and now you'll be instructed to go and speak with your oldbuddy Mathrengyl Bearwalker in the Cenarion Enclave so he can

    finally give you the Cure Poison spell.

    After the hell you'll have to through if you don't have theHerbalism profession all you get is a skill that nullifies the

    effects of poison attacks? Either way the skill is still worth it, like I

    mentioned before: This skill really comes in handy as nobody likes to be

    poisoned.

    ---------------Tauren Strategy

    ---------------

    At least the Tauren Druids have an easier time in getting theEarthroots, but I'll discuss that in a moment, anyway, just like

    the Night Elf Druid, the Tauren one is required to get a water

    sample where it is believe it is corrupted, and causing thenearby Gazelle to be very sick. You must go to the foul mountain

    top of Dreadmist Peak where there's a source of polluted water,

    in order to get there just go north west of the Crossroads untilyou get to an oasis called The Forgotten Pools, and then check

    out the mountain East of that position, you can actually get to

    the top of the mountain until you get to the Dreadmist Peak, justfind the right corners, and begin you climbing to the top. As you

    go up be very careful of the Orcs of the Burning Blade, they are

    hostiles who will attack you on sight, their levels are from 10-

    14, but either way fight carefully, and one at a time so youdon't get ganged up.

    At the very top of Dreadmist Peak you'll notices 4 Burning BladeOrcs surrounding around a weird bubbling pool of water, dispose

    those Orcs, and use the Vial Dentrite gave you to get the Water

    Sample, as soon as you do that 2 Burning Blade toxologists willappear behind you out of nowhere, and attack you. (Can't be

    avoided, they always appear behind you according to other Tauren

    Druids who did this quest already) Run like hell out of there,

    once you get to safety go to the Crossroads and speak with Tonga

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    32/34

    Runetotem who is outside a tent waiting for your water sample.

    Tonga will tell you he can turn that foul poisonous water into a

    cure if you can find the right ingredients which you are told tobring 5 Earthroot and 5 Kodo Horns.

    The Kodo horns are easy to get, just go and see if they are Kodoson the nearby oasis, and slay them to get the horns you need. The

    Earthroots might be challenging to get, if you have the Herbalism

    profession, then it's a snap to get, just looks around theBarrens, or the starting Undead area for the Earthroots until you

    get 5 of them, if you don't have the Herbalism profession then

    you have to buy them from players, or go to Orgrimmar to see if

    there are Earthroots to bid for in the Auction House.

    Unlike Ironforge, Orgrimmar is a snap to get there, and it

    involves no fights at all. Go east of the Crossroads following

    the road to Durotar, once you leave the Barrens and right intoDurotar keep following the road until you reach Razor Hill which

    is a Horde Town. Next you must go north until you finally reachOrgrimmar, Orc capital of the Horde. No fighting whatsoever. As

    soon as you enter Orgrimmar just ask a nearby Orc guard for the

    directions for the Auction House, once you're inside just check

    to see if you can either Buy, or Bid for 5 Earthroots. Once youhave all the ingredients you must go back to Tonga at the

    Crossroads, you can talk to the Orgrimmar Wind Rider for a fast

    travel back to the Crossroads if you talked to the Wind Rider atthe Crossroads, if not then you must travel by foot, but at least

    it won't be so bad.

    Next Tonga will make those ingredients into a cure salve, and now

    you'll be instructed to cure 10 Gazelle which can be found north

    of the Barrens, once at least 10 Gazelle are cured you must goback, and speak with Dentrite back in Nighthaven. Dentrite will

    congratulate you on job well done, and you'll head off back to

    the Elder Rise section of Thunder Bluff to speak with Turak

    Runetotem so you can finally get the Cure Poison skill.

    Another letter you'll receive by mail instructing you to go and

    see your Main Druid Trainer at level 16.

    3) ===Level 16 Druid Quest===

    *This quest will give you your Aquatic form, Good F'N Luck*

    When you reach level 16 you're once again instructed to go, and

    talk to Dentrite in Nighthaven who will tell you to search the

  • 8/7/2019 World of Warcraft Druid FAQ

    33/34

    depths of Lake Elune'ara in Nighthaven to locate an item called

    the Shrine Bauble. The damn thing has a timer before it decays

    completely, and the problem is gankers from opposite factions ifyou're playing on a Player vs Player server so you must proceed

    carefully. After you get your Shrine Bauble so you must run with it to the

    Shrine of Remulos as soon as you can, the Shrine is West of Nighthaven, checkyour big map by pressing the "M" button on your keyboard to know the exact

    location, next use the Bauble at the shrine, and then speak with the Night Elf

    female called Tajarri there she'll tell you the next phase.

    Here comes the most annoying part, you got to find 2 parts of a

    pendant needed to complete this quest, first you must find the

    part called "Aquatic Agility" and the other half called "AquaticEndurance". In order to find those two pieces you have to speak

    with the residents of Moonglade to learn clues as to where these

    items may be located. The only ones who know the clues you need

    to know are the Hippogriff Rider Master, and the Wind Rider Master.Unfortunately both of them give very vague clues as to where to find them, and

    believe it or not I still haven't completed this quest on both my Night ElfDruid, and my Tauren Druid.

    For the Night Elves you'll be told one of the pendants is North

    of Auberdine where the Cliffspring river meets the ocean whereyou'll see a rock formation that looks like a Claw, it should be

    guarded by threshers, but I found nothing at all. Another half

    should in Westfall around northwest of gold coast quarry, you'llsee a huge anchor near where the deep ocean, you should see the

    bubbles from the ocean floor in which will give you breath so you

    can look for the pendant, but I still haven't found anything.

    The Taurens get even worst clues, but I found one in the Sludge

    Den inside a black box right on the sludge by mere luck since I was questingthere trying to finish a mission I started back in Ratchet. The Sludge Den is

    north east of the Crossroads in the Barrens by the mountain area where those

    Venture Co group is hanging out. The other half is supposed to the in the

    water area in Silverpine Forest, but so far I haven't found anything.

    Any help is greatly appreciated for finding those miserable

    pendants for both Night Elves and the Taurens.***************************************************************
