Druid Guide

Ten Ton Hammer's Class Guides - Druid


The Druid class is a class that is at one with nature. From calling forth vines to trap their enemies all the way to changing into a bear, the Druids revolve around anything and everything to do with nature. Peaceful and aggressive the Druid class is considered by many to be a jack of all trades and master of none. With the ability to stealth like a Rogue, heal like a Priest, tank like a Warrior, and cast spells like a Mage the Druid can fit many roles. Although they cannot do some of these tasks as well as the original classes all the time, they can when specialized that way, and they can still be very useful in alternate roles at any time.

Anyone who likes to be flexible and helpful in any situation may find the Druid class to be something they will be interested in. They’re not the strongest fighters or the absolute best support but they can fill both roles. In the expansion Druids are very valuable for most of their abilities and can often times fill the roles of other classes like Warriors or Priests with no problem.

Blizzard's Official Druid Description

The official word on Druids!

Druids are the keepers of the world and masters of nature with a diverse array of abilities. They are powerful healers, capable of curing poisons and raising fallen comrades in the thick of battle. Druids also command nature's wrath, calling down ranged blasts of energy, summoning swarms of insects, or entangling their foes in the earth. But druids are also masters of the wild, able to shapeshift into a great bear, cat, or even sea lion, gaining their powers in combat or travel. Druids are a diverse class with a variety of playstyles, capable of filling any role.

The Druid gives players several play style options. A Druid in normal form is a caster that can fight with spells or weapons. In Bear form the Druid becomes a Warrior with Rage. While in Cat form the Druid becomes a Rogue with Energy and stealth. The Druid can also transform into two other special animal forms. With its ability to heal itself and fellow characters, the Druid can also take on the role of a Priest. A Druid is not as versatile in its abilities as a Priest is, lacking the spells Power Word: Shield and Resurrection, but is otherwise a very capable healer.
