How the druid plays

Druids in WoW Forever gain Wild Growth, Swiftmend and Insect Swarm as talents, Lacerate and Primal Bite for bears, and Eclipse for Balance. Revive brings allies back out of combat.

Every form still has its own resource, and shifting still breaks roots and slows. Feral's Shifting Power trades mana for Energy, and Natural Instinct lets Intellect strengthen your heals.

Druids still bring Innervate, Rebirth and Mark of the Wild to any group.

  • Wild Growth gives Restoration strong group healing.
