When it comes to hybrid classes in the World of Warcraft the most popular one is definitely the Druid class. A lot of players find this class to be a lot of fun to level up and play. If you choose the Alliance side, you can become a Druid by choosing the Night Elf race, while if you are playing on the Horde side you can become a Druid by choosing the Tauren race.

Druids have many interesting abilities but the most fun one is definitely the ability to shapeshift. When they shapeshift, Druids can become a Bear, Cat or a Sea Lion and they also have a special Travel form. The BC expansion, Druids obtained another form – the flight form. Other classes also got the ability to use a flying mount but on the level 70 while for Druids this was available at the level 68. Another thing that made Druids unique is that their flight form could be cast instantly, same as other forms they have.

When it comes to specialization a Druid has three talent trees to choose from – Balance, Restoration or Feral Combat and by placing his talent points into one of these threes he can become a healer, damage dealer in the form of a caster or a melee dps and a tank. With the Balance tree a Druid can become a caster dps well-known as Moonkin. If a Druid chooses to spec Balance he will become a typical dps caster with a special form called the Moonkin form.

While in this form, a Druid will grant his party/raid members +5% on the spells’ critical strike and this is one of the reasons why other classes of casters love to have a Moonkin in their group. Moonkins are often called “Boomkins” for fun and are typical mana consumers.

However, to become a really good dps, a Moonkin needs to learn how to rotate his spells together with a few DoT (Damage Over Time) spells he has. He also has a few AoE spells – Starfall, Typhoon and Hurricane. Their gear needs to be rich in spell power, haste, crit and hit rating and with a good use of spells and adequate gear they can really own the damage meter. Feral Druids can choose between a tank spec or a melee dps spec.

While in bear form they will be really good tanks since they will have a lot of armor and stamina, and if they choose the cat form they can also be really good melee dpsers. With his talent points in the Restoration tree, a druid will get another special form – the tree form.

While in the tree form druid’s spells will cost him less mana and the overall healing will be enhanced for 6% done by anybody to anybody in the same raid group. In order to be on the top of the healing meter, a Resto Druid needs to have healing adequate gear with a lot of spirit and sp (spell power). Their healing abilities are dependent on their gear which needs to have a lot of spell power and spirit and it is said that Resto Druids are able to regenerate mana much faster than any other healing class.

Druids wear leather even though they can also wear cloth if needed. If you choose to become a Druid tank or melee dps it is strongly advisable to avoid wearing cloth since armors made from leather always have much better stats. However, armors made from cloth can serve good to Resto Druids and, in some cases, Moonkins since they don’t take direct damage. For a Druid tank it is of the essence to have as strongest armor as he can get with as much Stamina as possible.

No matter if you like to play PvE or PvP, you will definitely have a lot of fun with a druid since you can constantly change your build and style of game play. Leveling will also be fairly easy for a Druid and the best spec to choose for fast leveling will definitely be Feral Combat. With a Druid you will be able to shape shift, run faster, swim faster, dive without the need to have an underwater breathing potion, etc. and all this is done instantly!.
