The Power Within the WotLK Druid in World of WarCraft Using Different Druid Forms
Druids are one of the most versatile characters in World of WarCraft wotlk due to their different druid forms, and are also among the most restricted as well; with all Alliance druids being night elves while the Horde druids are only Tauren. Despite their differences, both the Tauren and night elves have the same shapeshifting abilities, but have several different racial abilities as well. If you are having trouble leveling your druid or want to level your druid as fast as possible you must check out Zygor’s Leveling Guide or check out the review.
Shapeshifting Abilities
To adapt to different situations on the battlefield, wotlk druids can transform into 8 different form for a total of 9 forms including his natural form – the caster form.
Caster Form
In the beginning stages of the game, you’ll be using the druid like your typical spellcaster. As you develop this form, you’ll find it to be highly useful in defeating your enemies from long range and healing comrades. They are also able to cast a variety of debuff spells against their enemies.
Bear Form
Transforming to the bear form gains armor, health, and attack bonuses so it’s a good transformation to work on for players that like warrior class characters. With its high power, they make good targets in attracting hordes of monsters and dishing out heavy damage while taking abuse. All of the bear’s abilities use a rage bar instead of mana. Higher level druids can transform to dire bears which look similar, but are more powerful.
Cat Form
Those who want to play like the rogue can transform to the cat form which gains a higher melee attack bonus than the bear form. It has the ability to stealth like the rogues to conceal themselves from monsters and other players and uses an energy bar for abilities.
Aquatic Form
This form solely allows the druid to swim faster than any other character In the game and breathe underwater as well. No additional abilities are granted in this form.
Tree of Life Form
This form makes the druid move a bit slower, but adds regenerative healing to party members within range. Healing abilities that are casted in this form also cost less mana.
Travel Form
Transform to the travel form whenever you are in the need for speed because this form grants a 40% run speed bonus. However, no additional abilities are gained from this form and it may only be used outdoors.
Flight Form
This form transforms the druid into a crow greatly increasing the movement speed to that of a flying mount. When you’re riding skill is 300 and your level is 70, you can use the swift flight form to match the speed of an epic flying mount.
Moonkin Form
This form increases the critical chance of spells casted by allies and only allows balance spells to be casted.
Changes For Druid in Wrath of the Lich King
A newer feral ability – Savage Roar has been added for level 75 druids which acts as a finishing move that increases attack power. When the druid reaches level 80, he can learn a powerful healing spell – nourish that restores even more life when under the rejuvenation, regrowth, or lifeblood effects. Druids can also revive dead targets at level 12. Various other changes include new talents and other balance changes.
The power of the druid requires on your playing style giving you plenty of different builds to mold your druid from.
