Simply said, you use your paws and claws, not the weapons you carry, to hit your enemies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How to do rotations as Feral Druid<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The best advice is to equip your character with <strong>Mark of the Wild<\/strong> and <strong>Thorns. <\/strong>What\u2019s more, with a Travel Form which you\u2019ll gain at level 30 you\u2019ll increase your movement speed by 40%.

So, you&#8217;ll always need to drink to replenish it and be ready to the fact that you&#8217;ll be dealing much less damage than Feral when doing dungeons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even more, this also applies to tanking in dungeons. On the bright side, you&#8217;ll be able to heal noticeably easier and you&#8217;ll be better set for finding groups. Yeah and also, as a Balance Druid, past level 30, dungeons will become much more efficient in comparison to questing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe most importantly, to speed up your leveling, find someone to level with until level 20 \u2013 you won&#8217;t regret it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balance is ranged and it takes your nature and arcane spells to kill the mobs. Furthermore, you should decide which spell you want to use <strong>Wrath <\/strong>or <strong>Starfire. <\/strong>We advise using Wrath in your early stages and Starfire later. You can also keep them both in their <em>Improved form, <\/em>but we advise you to stick with only the one you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be precise, advancing as a Balance Druid is very logical, so focus primarily on increasing your damage and take Improved Wrath.

Particularly, Bear Form is pretty strong so you can tank in dungeons with it, along with utilizing Balance or Restoration talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, with that on your mind, you\u2019ll be set to start leveling as a Balance Druid. However, make sure to get everything in order and follow your path as you go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/restoration-druid-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-154\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/restoration-druid-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/restoration-druid-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/restoration-druid-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/restoration-druid-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/restoration-druid-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Restoration Druid Leveling&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we can compare Restoration with Balance in terms of leveling, with a difference that as a Restoration you primarily look to utilize healing over the damage. Nevertheless, prepare for tough times when solo, and much easier group play. Therefore, Restoration is the best choice if you opt for group leveling, as your main role will be to heal groups in dungeons. What&#8217;s more, <strong>we don\u2019t recommend playing Restoration if you want to do solo, <\/strong>and we will proceed with advice on group play as Restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Logically, Restoration\u2019s main objective is to heal and ensure that your group survives. Restoration is encompassed with mostly providing <em>healing talents <\/em>while expanding into some handy talents to deal damage. This is ideal for times when healing isn&#8217;t needed as much, so you can bring some damage to the mobs with the rest of your group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we recommend playing as Restoration before moving to Balance and here are some important talents you should get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We mentioned <strong>Insect Swarm <\/strong>\u2013 it is a great rotational spell to have while leveling, dungeon parties of 5 and PvP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <strong>Reflection<\/strong> to regenerate mana passively while in combat \u2013 you\u2019ll need it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nature Swiftness<\/strong> is one of the most notable talents \u2013 it will make every <strong>Nature<\/strong> spell an instant cast spell. It is critical for healing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gift of Nature<\/strong> will increase the effectiveness of every healing spell you cast by 10%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swiftmend<\/strong> is something you\u2019ll definitely use if you need healing-burst, preferably on a tank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improved Wrath<\/strong> is your number one damage increaser and it lowers the cast time too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nature\u2019s Grasp <\/strong>will help you defend yourself and is useful to have.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bis-gearing-5.webp\" alt=\"Get WoW SOD Runes Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>SoD BiS Gear Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Let our experts tackle the dreary work for you!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wow-classic\/boost\/sod-bis-gear\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, invest in these skills as you are leveling but don\u2019t forget to save money and <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wow-classic-gold\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wow-classic-gold\/\">gold for<\/a> your mount at level 40:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Moonfire&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wrath&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thorns&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Entangling Roots&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hibernate&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Barkskin&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bash&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cat Form&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prowl&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dash&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenging Roar&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel Form&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Track Humanoids&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pounce&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dire Bear Form&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feline Grace&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mark of the Wild&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hurricane&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rejuvenation&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regrowth&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Healing Touch&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Innervate&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choosing Restoration Druid gear<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the other two types, choosing gear as Restoration Druid is intuitive and logical. Still, we suggest sticking to this path and prioritizing your <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wow-classic\/gearing\/\">gear in a next<\/a> manner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nature Damage&gt;Intellect&gt;Spirit&gt;Stamina<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The main means of damage increase will be, logically, <strong>Nature Damage. <\/strong>Next, you&#8217;ll aim for Intellect that will give more mana and spell crit. Spirit will increase regeneration rates and Stamina will allow for more health points. Additionally, it&#8217;s a good idea to bring some Healing Power pieces as you are leveling in dungeons, but this is most important after 60. To sum it, focus on increasing the efficiency of your mana instead of heals while you rush to 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choosing Restoration Druid weapons<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the former, weapons are valuable as much as the stats they have on them. That\u2019s why you should follow these directions to maximize your Restoration Druid. In that light, you\u2019ll need items that will enhance your healing spells. Furthermore, look for items with high stats in Intellect and Spirit, like <strong>Wild of Arlokk<\/strong> which is best when combined with <strong>Innervate<\/strong> ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>How to do rotations as Balance Druid<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, buff <strong>Mark of the Wild<\/strong> and <strong>Thorns <\/strong>and expect your <strong>Travel Form<\/strong> at level 30. <strong>Dash<\/strong> will assist in additional movement speed increase and cooldown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DPS rotation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Moonfire<\/strong> and <strong>Insect Swarm<\/strong> should always be on your enemies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep casting <strong>Wrath<\/strong> or <strong>Starfire <\/strong>until the enemy dies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To quickly step away from the enemies use <strong>Entangling Roots<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Already said, <strong>Travel Form<\/strong> will be your option to travel at 30, and you&#8217;ll use it until the mount&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Heal rotation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep <strong>Rejuvenation<\/strong> on the tank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To do the group healing use <em>Rank 1<\/em> <strong>Healing Touch<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When your group suffers from serious damage, use <strong>Regrowth<\/strong> to replenish their health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tank rotation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The same applies to Balance Druid. <strong>Bear Form<\/strong> is strong enough to do tanking in dungeons, and you\u2019ll notice a drop in strength when compared to other classes after 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, it\u2019s best to stick with Feral if you want to do tanking in dungeons. Just swap to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use <strong>Maul<\/strong> to increase the next attack by 18 damage&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swipe<\/strong> will help you avoid multiple targets or capping rage while inflicting 18 damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faerie Fire<\/strong> will decrease the target&#8217;s armor by 175 for the 40 seconds&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Use these Tank utilities to your advantage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Growl<\/strong> &#8211; Directs attention of nearby targets on you by taunting them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Challenging<\/strong> <strong>Roar<\/strong> &#8211; Taunts all nearby targets to attack you for 6 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frenzied<\/strong> <strong>Regeneration<\/strong> \u2013 Converts rage to self-healing. One point of rage equals 10 health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Barskin<\/strong> \u2013 Lasts 15 seconds and it reduces all damage you suffer by 20%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you&#8217;ll have much fun playing as Druid, whether you&#8217;ll choose <em>Feral<\/em>, <em>Balance<\/em> or <em>Restoration<\/em>. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, but nonetheless, you&#8217;ll have a great experience while playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you\u2019ll see which style suits you the best, so as you level, you\u2019ll start to get better and better at it.
