Druids are shapeshifting nature lovers who are amongst the most adaptable classes around!
They can undertake many roles, however they especially thrive as healers due to their ability to cure, heal, undo curses. Healing the planet is of primary concern to the druid.
This is due to druids follow in the footsteps of Cenarius and the ancients and are at one with the natural world. Druids rely heavily on nature’s power and thrive in natural environment.
Druids answer only to their own kind, governed by the Cenarion Circle which is headed by Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage. Druids ability to adapt is their greatest strength and greateast weakness. Whilst they can perform every role, they do not stand out in any role in comparision to speciality classes. However their ability to shapeshift is of special interest.
Druid Shapeshifting: Druids can take on the feral form of either Bear or the Cat. This allows them to access certain abilities. However not only can they shape shift, they can now change their Cat and Bears forms by finding a barber shop.
Talents: Balance, Feral Combat, Restoration
Races: Night Elf, Worgen, Tauren, Troll
Wow Cataclysm Druid ability changes
Thrash: Enemies in a close proximity will receive damage which will be followed by the enemy bleeding on and off for a few seconds. This will allow Bears more options whilst tanking and it can be combined with talents for enhanced damage. (level acquisition 81).
Stampeding Roar: A battle hardened war cry performed by the druid bear or cat will rally close by allies and enable them a 40 percent increase in movements for eight seconds (level acquisition 83).
Wild Mushroom: This is a really fun new spell that casts a magic mushroom that acts similar to a landmine! As a druid you cast the mushroom which becomes invisible so that when an enemy stumbles upon it then it will explode with a 40 yard range of damage. It can also be detonated too. (level acquisition 85).
