Druid Class Overview
Changes for Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
Changes to existing abilities & talents
枭兽形态
—Moonkin Form now gives a 5% crit buff, up from 3%!
树皮术
—Barkskin got a really nice rework and is now a solid defensive ability. It reduces all damage taken by 20% instead of just melee attacks. It still prevents casting pushbacks and can be used while in most CCs.
宁静
—Tranquility received a sizeable buff in power but is now a 10 minute CD.
复生
—The cooldown of Rebirth has been reduced from 30 minutes to 20. While this isn't game-breaking, it is certainly a welcome change.
虫群
—Insect Swarm moved from the Restoration talent tree into the Balance tree.
清晰预兆
—Omen of Clarity moved from the Balance talent tree into the Restoration tree.
New abilities & talents
强化精灵之火
—Most every raid will aim to have a Druid who has this new talent. When fully talented, it essentially increases hit rating by all melee and hunters by 3%!
生命绽放
—Lifebloom is an incredible new HoT, healing every second over 7 seconds. It can stack up to 3 times. Upon expiration or dispel, it heals the target for an additional amount. This ability is very mana efficient and incredibly strong.
飞行形态
/
迅捷飞行形态
—Oh yes, we get a flying shapeshift. The equivalent of the flying mounts usable in Outland, these forms are instant cast shapeshifts that allow flight.
飓风术
—Cyclone takes an enemy player out of action for 6 seconds while also making them invulnerable to damage. This is an incredibly strong crowd control ability that is iconic to Druid PvP.
割伤
—Lacerate is a new Bear ability that leaves a stacking bleed on the target. It generates high amounts of threat.
裂伤
—Mangle is the 41-point end talent for the Feral tree. It has a version for both Cat and Bear Forms.
自然之力
—Force of Nature is the new 41-point end talent in the Balance tree. You summon 3 treants to attack enemies for 30 seconds. They are very hard to control.
生命之树
—Tree of Life gives a party-wide healing received buff, reduces the mana cost of many spells by 20%, but you are only able to cast certain spells in this form and it reduces movement speed by 20%.
Viability of Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade PvE Content
Balance ends up in a strange position in TBC. What was once considered a meme spec in Classic becomes coveted by raid teams in TBC as a key support class. While it doesn't realistically top the damage charts, it does bring a vast array of raid utility.
On top of the utility that any Druid brings to raid, such as
激活
and
复生
,
精灵之火
receives a sizeable upgrade deep in the Balance talent tree.
强化精灵之火
increases the chance the target will be hit by melee or ranged attacks by 3% when completely talented. This is a considerable raid-wide buff.
枭兽形态
also gets a beefy upgrade, going from 3% spell crit to 5%, making Balance a great addition to the Warlock group.
The increase to buff and debuff caps means that boomkins will also get to play with their other debuffs,
月火术
and
虫群
. This greatly improves the rotation, playstyle, and damage. However, boomkins still struggle with mana and maintaining these DoTs can get out of hand fast. The damage output of Balance is arguably better than as seen in Classic but is not without its struggles. A good boomkin who puts in the effort will be noticeably higher on the meters than one who is just filling in as a buff bot.
Strengths of Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
Utility
Druids are known for their long list of utility and considered a key support spec. They bring buffs such as
野性印记
and
荆棘术
, they are able to resurrect in combat using
复生
, they can dispel both poisons and curses with
驱毒术
and
解除诅咒
, they have powerful debuffs such as
精灵之火
and
虫群
, and can buff a friendly player with
激活
. Balance is the only Druid spec that contains the new and powerful talent
强化精灵之火
that every raid will want to have.
Combat Resurrection
Druids can resurrect in combat with
复生
. They are the only class with the ability to bring a player to back to life during a fight, making them essential to any raid. Warlocks are similar but have to cast their Soulstone preemptively.
DoTs, DoTs, and more DoTs!
With the increase to the debuff cap, Balance Druids can comfortably use spells like
月火术
and
虫群
. This not only increases the damage output but also enhances the rotation into a much more enjoyable playstyle which is a welcome change from the Classic
星火术
spam.
Weaknesses of Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
Lower Performance
It's not a secret that it's a rare sight to see a Balance Druid at the top of the damage meter. Even though great Balance players can min/max their way higher into the charts, it's hard to achieve since Balance is regarded so heavily as a support class and expected to help the raid in any way possible at the cost of their own personal performance.
Poor Mana Management
A struggle that persists with Balance going into TBC is dealing with mana control. Even though there are ample talents to help regenerate mana such as
月光
and
梦境
, Balance Druids need to consume a lot of mana pots in order to sustain the full potential of their damage kit during encounters and
激活
tends to be needed on other players.
No "Normal" Resurection
Druids do not have a “normal” resurrection ability. Paladin, Priest, and Shaman all have an out of combat resurrection ability, but Druids only have the 20-minute cooldown combat resurrection ability
复生
. This can mean frequent corpse-runs for your group.
Class Mechanics for Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
Mana
Managing the mana bar is very important for Balance Druids. If you run out of mana, you can't cast anymore and since you don't have a wand to fall back on, you have to wait to regenerate enough mana to start casting again. Consumables are helpful, but understanding how much mana you have to begin with, how long an encounter will last, and how much mana your spells consumes is vital for performance.
Stats that influence your mana pool and mana regeneration are only as good as you make them. If you are ending a fight with more than enough mana, you can aim for more beefy stats like spell power instead. If you are frequently running out of mana, you may need to add on more Spirit, MP5, and Intellect.
激活
is a widely disputed ability. It really depends on your group composition and skill in order to determine the best use of this ability and whether it can be used on yourself or if it needs to be allocated to another dps or healer. If you are unsure how you should use your
激活
, ask your team.
Shapeshifts
Shapeshifting is iconic to Druids throughout all of World of Warcraft. TBC opens up even more options for shifts. However, they all consume mana which can be a limited resource depending on the situation. Talents like
自然变形
reduce this cost if you have points to spare.
Formerly in Classic, in order to use a spell that was unable to be casted in whatever form you were currently in, you had to first shapeshift out or cancel that form before casting. During TBC, this restriction was lifted and the game should automatically leave form if you cast something outside that form.
Making use of shapeshifts is what separates a good Druid from a great one. Knowing what forms increase movement speed in each situation (i.e.
水栖形态
while swimming) can save a lot of time. Knowing that
枭兽形态
increases armor in the same way that
巨熊形态
can be handy and has led to the use of
枭兽形态
as an offensive substitute for defensive purposes in PvP situations (aka Restokin).

Alliance Races for Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
暗夜精灵
自然抗性
: Nature Resistance increased by 10.
精灵之魂
: Transform into a wisp upon death, increasing movement speed by 50%.
迅捷
: Dodge chance increased by 1%.
影遁
: Activate to slip into the shadows, reducing the chance for enemies to detect your presence. Lasts until cancelled or upon moving. Night Elf Rogues and Druids with Shadowmeld are more difficult to detect while stealthed or prowling.
Night Elves draw a lot of attention due to their overall appearance, but they also have a slightly larger mana pool. While
影遁
can only be used out of combat, this ability comes in handy during PvP situations as it allows the player time undetected to drink and restore mana.
精灵之魂
may not affect combat, but it does significantly reduce the time it takes to corpse-run, making it an excellent passive racial during leveling.
迅捷
is stronger for melee combat, especially tanking, and will have little use to a Balance Druid.
Horde Races for Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
牛头人
栽培
: Herbalism skill increased by 15.
耐久
: Total Health increased by 5%.
自然抗性
: Nature Resistance increased by 10.
战争践踏
: Stuns up to 5 enemies within 8 yds for 2 sec.
Taurens have an increased hitbox as well as extra reach on melee attacks. This makes them a solid choice for PvP, combined with
战争践踏
.
栽培
comes in handy as Herbalism is a good profession for Druids.
耐久
is great for all roles and forms. These abilities have minimal effect on PvE.
Specializations for Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
Balance
Obviously Balance is the key specialization for a Balance Druid. Most of this talent tree aids in amplifying key abilities such as
星火术
and
月火术
. There are also some nice talents that promote mana regeneration (
梦境
) or lower the cost of spells (
月光
).
Most every raid will want a Druid who is talented into
强化精灵之火
and it is most likely assumed that every Balance Druid will have this available. Don't be surprised at potential backlash if you are not equipped to use this ability.
Feral
The Feral talent tree does not offer much for a Balance Druid outside of potentially picking up
野性冲锋
for PvP purposes but even this is extremely rare for Balance.
Restoration
The Restoration talent tree does see some use for Balance Druids. Often you'll want to go into the Resto tree to pick up
强烈
and
自然变形
. You will most likely also want to pick up
强化野性印记
in order to help with buffing your raid team. It's not necessary if you already have a Druid who can cover buffing, but if you are already in the Restoration tree for other talents, might as well pick this up as
激怒
is not helpful.
For PvP, you'll most likely want to go into the Resto tree far enough to pick up
自然迅捷
.
Best PvE Spec for Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
The best PvE spec for Balance Druid DPS is filling out most of the Balance tree. You'll obviously pick up
枭兽形态
and any talents that improve
星火术
or
月火术
. This is covered in detail within the Talents and Builds section.
Best Professions for Balance Druid DPS in Burning Crusade
Tailoring
Early on in TBC, Tailoring will be extremely useful in getting the best gear possible. Both the
魔焰之怒
and
法术打击
sets are high on healing power with added set bonuses. While the Spellstrike set can be bought and used on non-Tailors, the Spellfire set does require Tailoring. Both of these sets require lots of expensive materials. Having multiple toons capable of crafting the cloth can help to make these less expensive and/or quicker to make.
Leatherworking
Similarly to Tailoring, Leatherworking comes with a few pieces of decent gear early on.
风鹰
has some decent stats and requires Leatherworking to equip.
With the new changes to how Drums work, it is looking like raid groups will aim to have one Leatherworker in each group. While a lot of specs will have Leatherworking already for gear, Balance Druids could be considered a reasonable spec to pop Drums so it might be something you want to plan for depending on your raid team.
Alchemy
Alchemy doesn't play a crucial role for Balance Druids. However, in Phase 5
巫师的炼金石
will be one of the best trinkets to have.
Enchanting
In TBC, if you have Enchanting, you are able to enchant both of your own rings. For casters,
附魔戒指 - 法术能量
adds a hefty 24 spell power which is incredibly powerful.
Herbalism
While not so important for performance, it is worth noting that Druids make excellent Herbalists due to being able to pick herbs while in
旅行形态
and
飞行形态
.
Mining
Similarly to Herbalistm, while Mining is not at all related to performance, it is worth noting that due to the mobility of Druids and the new instant cast
飞行形态
, Druids make excellent gatherers.
