Role and combat rotation
The Druid is the most flexible class: one character can heal, tank, melee and cast damage, swapping between forms. Bear tanks and builds threat, Cat deals energy-and-combo damage, Restoration heals over time, and Balance casts Moonfire and Starfire. Mark of the Wild and battle rez make the Druid valuable in any group.

FAQ
How many roles can the Druid fill?
All four: tank in Bear Form, melee DPS in Cat Form, healer in the Restoration tree and ranged DPS in the Balance tree. The form changes your resource — rage, energy or mana.
How do Druid forms work?
Each form gives its own ability set and resource: Bear uses rage and toughness, Cat uses energy and stealth, Travel and Aquatic forms handle movement. You can't cast normal spells while shifted.
Is the Druid good for solo leveling on x5?
Yes, one of the best: Cat Form gives fast damage and stealth, and shifting out to heal makes the Druid very durable with little downtime.
