World of Warcraft Druid Guide
If you’re a player who like changing up play styles from combat to healing then consider the Druid as a good match. In the following WoW Druid guide I’ll introduce the Druid and talk a little about what makes them so unique.
Druids are in many ways the Jack of all trades in WoW and this gives them a way of filling different roles and playing styles at will. However, before I go any further, let me mention that only the Tauren and Night Elf races can belong to the Druid class.
Druids can not only tank and DPS with the best of them but also heal really well. The unique ability to shape shift gives the Druid an edge in combat. Druid gain an edge as tanks by taking the for of a Dire Bear of for melee the form of a Cat. As you can imagined this makes them really versatile and allows them to fill a variety of roles in groups and raids, and makes them great at PvP. In the following part of the WoW Druid guide we’ll talk about some of the Druid’s many strengths.
