The WoW Forever beta now has a level-30 cap, and Druid has changed substantially since the previous level-20 version of this guide. Feral can now reach Shifting Power, Primal Bite and Leader of the Pack, Travel Form becomes available at the current cap, Balance can reach Insect Swarm and begin using Eclipse, and Restoration can already reach Swiftmend. The October 1 update also increased Bear critical-strike Rage generation, fixed Swipe's Attack Power scaling, removed Tiger's Fury, made shapeshift forms immune to Disarm while already shifted, increased Wrath's base damage and allowed additional healing effects to critically heal. This guide covers what can actually be played at level 30 while keeping deeper tools such as Berserk, Lacerate, Moonkin Form and Wild Growth clearly separated as later progression.
Druid in one sentence: Feral remains our safest general leveling recommendation because Cat mobility, low-Mana combat, stealth, Bear durability and instant role switching work extremely well together; Restoration has the strongest current healer signal, while Balance and Feral raid DPS remain level-60 projections rather than verified endgame results.
In the current WoW Forever Class Tier List, Druid is A tier overall, B tier for leveling, B tier for current tanking as Bear, S tier in the latest healer snapshot as Restoration and A tier for PvP. The latest public September 29 level-60 simulation lists Feral at roughly 512 DPS and Balance at roughly 498 DPS. Those simulation values predate the October 1 level-30 update and are not live raid results.
What Is the Best Druid Spec in WoW Forever?
Druid remains the most role-flexible class in Forever, so the best specialization depends heavily on what you intend to do. The difference at level 30 is that this is no longer based almost entirely on low-level projections: Cat and Bear have much more of their real toolkit, Restoration can reach Swiftmend, and Balance has access to Starfire, Insect Swarm and the first Eclipse talents.
| Goal | Best current choice | Why | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo leveling | Feral | Cat Form provides fast movement, stealth and Energy-based damage while Bear gives a safe answer to difficult enemies and extra pulls. | High at level 30 |
| Dungeon tanking | Feral Bear | Weapon scaling, Primal Bite, improved Swipe, high armor and Bear Rage improvements produce a much more complete tank than the original Classic version. | Medium-High |
| Dungeon healing | Restoration | Rejuvenation, Regrowth, Healing Touch, Swiftmend and stronger critical-heal interactions create an excellent small-group toolkit. | High |
| Ranged leveling | Balance | The recent Wrath buff, cheaper casting, Starfire, Insect Swarm and Eclipse make Balance much more functional than it was during early beta. | Medium |
| Projected melee raid DPS | Feral Cat | The September 29 simulation is around 512 DPS, but the current talent tree and October changes still need level-60 verification. | Low |
| Projected caster raid DPS | Balance | The same simulation snapshot places Balance around 498 DPS. Actual Mana sustainability and encounter movement remain unknown. | Low |
| PvP / objectives | Feral / Balance utility | Stealth, forms, roots, Travel Form, self-healing and Feral Charge create strong objective and escape tools. | Medium-High |
Feral is therefore our first-character recommendation inside the Druid class, not because Cat will necessarily become the best raid DPS spec, but because the same talent tree supports fast open-world play, Cat DPS and emergency or dedicated Bear tanking with very little downtime.
WoW Forever Druid Changes: What Is Different at Level 30?
Druid received changes at both the class-system level and inside every talent tree. Several of the most important improvements affect the class even before choosing a specialization: forms now scale from the equipped weapon, more items can be used while shapeshifted, racial abilities work in forms, Nature's Grasp and Omen of Clarity are baseline, and Druids finally have a normal out-of-combat resurrection.
| Ability / system | Current Forever behavior | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon scaling in forms | Bear, Cat and Dire Bear auto-attack DPS now follows the DPS of the equipped weapon, while form-specific attack speed remains fixed. Weapon-damage abilities also use the equipped weapon's damage. | Your weapon is now a real Feral upgrade rather than mostly a stat stick. |
| Weapon procs and enchants | Weapon enchantments and procs such as sharpening/weightstone-type effects, Crusader and Windfury can function while shapeshifted. | Feral benefits from gearing and group effects that historically did little or nothing in forms. |
| Consumables in forms | Most potions and similar consumables can be used without cancelling the form. | Bear and Cat no longer need to leave form for many ordinary combat consumables. |
| Racial abilities | Racial abilities such as Shadowmeld, War Stomp and Skyborne utility can be used while shapeshifted. | Race choice interacts more directly with actual Feral gameplay. |
| Disarm | Shapeshift forms are immune to Disarm while the Druid is already transformed. Shifting after being Disarmed does not remove the existing effect. | Prevents form attacks from being disabled by a new Disarm after shifting while preserving counterplay. |
| Nature's Grasp | Baseline from level 10 and usable indoors and while shapeshifted. | Strong open-world and PvP control no longer costs Balance talent points. |
| Omen of Clarity | Baseline from level 20. Clearcasting is not consumed by Wrath. | All Druid builds get resource-saving procs without spending talent points. |
| Revive | Out-of-combat resurrection learned from level 12. | Druid healers can recover a dungeon group normally instead of relying only on Rebirth. |
| Wrath | Designed as a much cheaper spell in Forever; its base damage was increased by roughly 50% in the latest tuning pass. | Balance leveling is substantially more competitive than during the first beta stage. |
| Thorns | Dynamically scales with the caster's Spell Power while the caster is available. | More meaningful for tanks and open-world play as caster gear improves. |
| Rejuvenation / Tranquility | Both can now critically heal after the latest beta fixes. | Critical Strike has more value for Restoration than under original Classic healing rules. |
| Tiger's Fury | Removed. Do not include it in a current Forever Feral rotation. | Energy recovery instead moves toward the new Shifting Power system. |
| Mangle | Renamed and redesigned as Primal Bite. The old Mangle debuff was removed. | Current guides should not describe the level-30 Cat rotation around Mangle replacing Claw. |
Important correction: the previous version of this guide said Mangle was available for both Cat and Bear and replaced Claw in Cat Form. That information is now outdated. Blizzard removed the old Mangle identity and renamed the Feral talent Primal Bite. The current Cat rotation continues to use Claw or Shred, while Primal Bite is a Bear attack and high-threat tool.
Best Level 20 Druid Build: Current Feral Milestone
Level 20 is no longer the beta endpoint, but it remains an important Druid milestone because Cat Form becomes available and the leveling style changes immediately. A current Feral route should prepare for the level-30 tree rather than use the older build built around Thick Hide and the removed Mangle path.
| Level | Talent | Rank | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-14 | Ferocity | 5/5 | Reduces the Rage or Energy cost of important Bear and Cat abilities. |
| 15-17 | Feral Instinct | 3/3 | Improves Swipe damage for Bear while strengthening Prowl once Cat Form is available. |
| 18-19 | Feral Swiftness | 2/2 | Provides 30% Cat movement speed and additional Dodge, making open-world leveling dramatically faster. |
| 20 | Savage Fury | 1/2 | Begins the path toward the important level-25/26 Feral milestone talents. |
From levels 10-19, Bear remains the main form for sustained physical combat. At 20, Cat becomes the default form for ordinary solo enemies because Energy regenerates independently of Mana, Feral Swiftness improves travel between targets and Prowl lets you skip unnecessary combat.
Level-20 Cat priority: open from Prowl when it actually saves time, use Rake on enemies that will live long enough, use Claw as the normal front-facing Combo Point generator and Shred whenever you can attack from behind, then spend Combo Points on Rip for durable enemies or Ferocious Bite when immediate finishing damage is better. Shift to Bear if a pull becomes dangerous instead of trying to force Cat through incoming damage.

Level 30 Feral Build: Shifting Power, Primal Bite and Leader of the Pack
Level 30 is where the new Forever version of Feral becomes much more recognizable. The current tree can reach two 16-point milestones, build toward stronger Cat/Bear critical interactions and finish with Leader of the Pack at exactly 21 standard talent points.
| Talent | Rank | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Ferocity | 5/5 | Cheaper Maul, Swipe, Claw and Rake usage. |
| Feral Instinct | 3/3 | More Swipe damage plus stronger stealth utility. |
| Feral Swiftness | 2/2 | 30% Cat movement speed plus Dodge. |
| Savage Fury | 2/2 | Improves core Cat and Bear attacks and opens the deeper Feral path. |
| Shredding Attacks | 3/3 | Supports Shred-focused Cat damage and helps unlock Feral's milestone talents. |
| Shifting Power | 1/1 | Converts Mana into 40 Energy in Cat Form on a 16-second cooldown. |
| Primal Bite | 1/1 | Adds the new high-threat Bear attack. |
| Sharpened Claws | 2/2 | Adds Critical Strike chance in Cat and Bear. |
| Blood Frenzy or Feral Charge | 1 point | Blood Frenzy improves resource generation; Feral Charge provides stronger mobility and Bear caster control. |
| Leader of the Pack | 1/1 | Level-30 payoff: 3% Critical Strike chance to all party attacks and spells while you are in Cat or Bear. |
Choose Blood Frenzy for the more direct PvE leveling/DPS route. Choose Feral Charge when dungeon tanking, PvP or mobility matters more. Bear Feral Charge also interrupts an active spellcast and immobilizes the target, while the Cat version leaps behind an enemy.
Cat rotation at level 30:
- Keep Mark of the Wild and useful self-buffs active.
- Use Faerie Fire where the armor reduction will matter; it no longer resets your swing timer.
- Open from Prowl when stealth positioning is useful.
- Maintain Rake on targets that will survive enough of the Bleed.
- Use Shred from behind; use Claw when you cannot meet Shred's positional requirement.
- Use Omen of Clarity procs on an expensive attack such as Shred.
- Use Shifting Power when below roughly 60 Energy so its 40-Energy gain is not wasted.
- Use Rip on long-lived targets and Ferocious Bite when immediate finishing damage is preferable.
Tiger's Fury should not appear anywhere in the current rotation because Blizzard removed the ability. The new Feral energy-management direction is Shifting Power rather than the old Tiger's Fury or Classic powershifting loop.
Level 60 Druid Builds and Current Simulation Signals
Level-60 builds are still theorycraft because the playable beta ends at 30. The September 29 simulation snapshot is useful for identifying which Druid DPS builds currently have more theoretical upside, but it was produced before the October 1 level-cap update and several current class changes.
| Build direction | September 29 signal | Current interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Feral Cat | ≈ 512 DPS | Higher than the older 423-DPS snapshot, but still B-tier in the current public simulation table and not confirmed by raid logs. |
| Balance | ≈ 498 DPS | Mechanically much improved, but current theoretical damage remains below the leading DPS presets. |
| Bear Feral | Tank role | The latest dated current-beta tier snapshot lists Bear in B tier. Level-30 Bear gains several important improvements that have not yet been reflected in a fresh full ranking. |
| Restoration | Healer role | Restoration leads the latest dated healer snapshot, but that ranking was based mainly on the earlier beta stage rather than level-60 raids. |
Do not mix current-cap gameplay with level-60 simulations. Level 30 can validate Feral leveling, Bear dungeon tanking, Swiftmend healing and early Eclipse gameplay. It cannot validate Berserk raid uptime, Lacerate tanking at level 42+, Moonkin Form, Wild Growth, raid Mana requirements or final BiS.
Feral Druid: Cat DPS After the Primal Bite and Tiger's Fury Changes
Feral remains the most natural Druid leveling tree because Cat damage consumes Energy instead of Mana, allowing the Druid's Mana bar to regenerate for future shapeshifts and healing. Forever also fixes one of Classic Feral's biggest scaling problems: weapon DPS and weapon effects now contribute properly while shapeshifted.
The most important October correction is that the old Mangle version of the guide should be discarded. The current Feral design keeps Claw and Shred as Cat Combo Point generators. Primal Bite belongs to Bear Form and generates high threat. Cat's new resource-management mechanic is Shifting Power, which trades Mana for Energy without requiring the old powershifting gameplay.
As Feral progresses beyond level 30, the important talent direction becomes:
- Improved Shifting Power: reduces Shifting Power's cooldown from 16 seconds toward 8 seconds at full investment.
- Predatory Strikes / Predatory Instincts: strengthen Feral Attack Power or critical-damage scaling depending on the current branch.
- Leader of the Pack: already available at level 30 and provides a 3% party-wide Critical Strike aura while in Cat or Bear.
- Natural Reaction: deeper Bear talent for Dodge and Rage generation.
- Rend and Tear: improves melee damage against Bleeding enemies.
- Berserk: 31-point capstone that becomes available later and dramatically changes both Cat burst and Bear multi-target pressure.
Berserk is not a level-30 ability. At deeper progression it lasts 15 seconds on a 3-minute cooldown, removes Primal Bite's cooldown and makes it hit up to three targets, grants Fear immunity and massively increases the Critical Strike chance of Cat Combo Point generators.
Bear Druid Tanking at Level 30
Bear is much more complete at the current cap than it was in the level-20 version of the guide. Weapon DPS now matters, Primal Bite adds an active high-threat attack, Swipe correctly scales from Attack Power, critical hits provide additional Rage and Feral Charge can give Bear a real answer to a dangerous caster.
| Tool | Current value |
|---|---|
| Primal Bite | 20-Rage high-threat Bear attack with a 6-second cooldown. Its threat was roughly doubled in the October 1 tuning. |
| Swipe | Hits up to three nearby enemies and now correctly gains 3% of Attack Power after the recent bug fix. |
| Maul | Useful Rage dump that modifies the next melee attack. Avoid starving yourself of Rage for more important tank abilities. |
| Feral Charge | 15-second Bear cooldown that closes distance, interrupts a spell and immobilizes the target. |
| Faerie Fire | Can be used in Bear without a resource cost and no longer resets the swing timer. |
| Growl | Primary single-target Taunt with a cooldown aligned more closely with Warrior Taunt. |
| Demoralizing Roar | Reduces enemy melee Attack Power and has improved baseline tuning in Forever. |
| Critical strikes | Bear and Dire Bear now generate 75% increased Rage when landing a critical strike. |
| Lacerate | New baseline stacking Bleed/high-threat attack learned at level 42, so it is not part of the current level-30 rotation. |
Basic level-30 Bear pull: use Feral Charge when you need its gap closer or interrupt, apply Faerie Fire, establish the primary target with Primal Bite and Maul, use Swipe when multiple enemies are active, and keep Demoralizing Roar up when reducing physical damage is worthwhile. Save Rage rather than queueing Maul blindly when you may need Growl, Primal Bite or another control tool.
Bear is a real dungeon tank now, but level-30 success should not be used to declare final raid-tank ordering. Dire Bear, Lacerate, Natural Reaction, Berserk, level-60 mitigation gear and actual raid bosses remain untested.
Balance Druid: Eclipse, Insect Swarm and the Wrath Buff
Balance benefits heavily from the level-30 increase because Starfire is available, Insect Swarm can be reached through the 16-point milestone and a 21-point Balance build can start investing into Eclipse. The recent roughly 50% Wrath base-damage increase also makes old early-beta damage impressions unreliable.
- Improved Wrath: reduces both Wrath cast time and Mana cost.
- Moonglow: reduces the Mana cost of damaging spells.
- Insect Swarm: 16-point talent that applies Nature damage over time and reduces the target's chance to hit.
- Nature's Splendor: extends Moonfire, Insect Swarm and several healing-over-time effects.
- Nature's Grace: non-periodic spell criticals briefly increase casting speed and reduce the global cooldown.
- Eclipse: Wrath casts reduce the cast time of upcoming Starfire casts and can store multiple charges.
- Moonkin Form: remains a 31-point later milestone, so it is not available to a standard level-30 character.
Practical level-30 Balance priority: precast Wrath where possible, maintain Moonfire and Insect Swarm when the target will live long enough, use Wrath to generate Eclipse value, then convert those charges into faster Starfire casts. Entangling Roots can now be used indoors, and Omen of Clarity is baseline; importantly, Wrath does not consume Clearcasting.
Balance still needs more endgame testing because the core question has not disappeared: Mana efficiency over a long raid encounter. The spec is far healthier mechanically, but a better rotation does not automatically mean top-tier level-60 throughput.
Restoration Druid: Swiftmend at Level 30 and Wild Growth Later
Restoration is already highly functional in the current dungeon environment. Level 30 allows a dedicated Restoration build to reach Swiftmend, while Rejuvenation, Regrowth, Healing Touch and Tranquility provide the core healing package. Wild Growth is still a 31-point talent and therefore belongs to later progression rather than the current beta rotation.
| Tool | Current role |
|---|---|
| Healing Touch | Large, efficient direct heal when there is time to cast. |
| Rejuvenation | Movement-friendly HoT whose ticks can critically heal in Forever. |
| Regrowth | Direct heal plus HoT; its Mana cost was substantially redesigned around the up-front heal. |
| Gift of the Earthmother | 11-point talent reducing the global cooldown of Rejuvenation and later Swiftmend/Wild Growth. |
| Swiftmend | 16-point Restoration milestone available before level 30 and redesigned so it does not consume Rejuvenation or Regrowth. |
| Tranquility | Large group-healing channel whose healing can now critically strike. |
| Revive | Out-of-combat resurrection from level 12. |
| Rebirth | Retains Druid's combat-resurrection role. |
| Wild Growth | 31-point future talent: instant party-wide HoT over 7 seconds with a 6-second cooldown. |
Level-30 dungeon healing: use Rejuvenation proactively when its duration will be useful, Healing Touch for efficient predictable healing, Regrowth when immediate healing plus a HoT is justified, and Swiftmend when a Rejuvenation/Regrowth target needs fast recovery. Tranquility is the emergency group-recovery cooldown rather than a routine single-target heal.
The latest ExpCarry healer snapshot lists Restoration Druid as the current leader, but that table primarily represents the September 29 level-20 environment. Swiftmend and the expanded level-30 dungeon pool strengthen Restoration's toolkit further, but there is not yet a complete fresh level-30 healer ranking or level-60 raid dataset.
Druid Forms in WoW Forever
Forms are not just cosmetic role switches in Forever. Weapon scaling, consumables, weapon procs, racial abilities, movement-impairing removal and the latest Disarm rules all make shapeshifting a larger part of moment-to-moment gameplay than in the original version of Classic.
| Form | Level / source | Main use | Forever note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bear Form | 10 | Tanking / survival | Weapon scaling, improved Rage generation and Primal Bite support active tanking. |
| Aquatic Form | 16 | Water travel | 50% swim-speed increase and underwater breathing. |
| Cat Form | 20 | Leveling / melee DPS / stealth | Energy-based combat, Prowl and Feral Swiftness make it the default Feral leveling form. |
| Travel Form | 30 | Outdoor movement | 40% outdoor movement speed and available exactly at the current beta cap. |
| Dire Bear Form | 40 | Endgame tanking | Higher health, armor and Attack Power than Bear Form. |
| Moonkin Form | 31-point Balance talent | Ranged caster | More armor, doubled Omen of Clarity proc chance and a 3% party Critical Strike aura exclusive with Leader of the Pack. |
| Caster form | Baseline | Healing / casting / utility | Still required for many healing and non-form abilities. |
Shapeshifting still removes Polymorph and movement-impairing effects according to the individual form rules, so knowledgeable form switching remains useful for both PvE movement and PvP. Do not waste Mana by shifting repeatedly without a reason, especially on Balance and Restoration gear sets with smaller physical-combat value.
Skyborne Druid Forms
Blizzard officially confirms that Skyborne Druids receive unique Druid forms. Both Alliance High Order Skyborne and Horde Windshaper Skyborne can be Druids. The exact visual set is race-specific, but race does not create a separate mechanical Cat or Bear class—the same Druid abilities and talent rules apply.
Best Druid Race in WoW Forever
Forever expands Druid from one racial option per faction to two. There is no universal best race across Cat DPS, Bear tanking, Balance, Restoration and PvP because the redesigned racials reward different jobs.
| Faction | Race | Best current use |
|---|---|---|
| Alliance | Night Elf | Strong general Feral and Balance choice through Elune's Light, mobility/Dodge utility and Shadowmeld. |
| Alliance | High Order Skyborne | Competitive caster/healer choice through passive Haste and additional Health/Mana regeneration utility. |
| Horde | Tauren | Excellent Feral/Bear option through Endurance, Hit support and War Stomp, which can be used while shapeshifted. |
| Horde | Windshaper Skyborne | Passive Haste, Elemental-specific damage and additional mobility utility. |
For Feral DPS: current specialist analysis favors Night Elf on Alliance and gives Tauren a slight Horde edge when its Hit bonus is useful. For Restoration: Alliance Skyborne is particularly attractive because Read Ley Line provides regeneration utility. Balance has relatively small gaps between the choices and can change with enemy type and final tuning.
Use the WoW Forever racial abilities guide and race/class combinations guide for the complete racial effects.
Best Professions for Druid
Druid can make good use of several profession pairs because one character may need melee, tank, caster and healing equipment over its lifetime. The best choice therefore depends more on your intended long-term role than on one universal profession ranking.
| Profession pair | Best for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Skinning + Leatherworking | Feral leveling / self-gearing | Druids naturally kill many beasts and Leatherworking provides relevant leather gear while leveling and at the beta cap. |
| Herbalism + Alchemy | All roles / Restoration / Balance | Potions, Mana consumables and combat elixirs support every Druid role. |
| Mining + Engineering | PvP / utility | Engineering complements Druid mobility and control with additional active tools. |
Feral gear should now treat weapon DPS as a major upgrade factor because Cat and Bear scale from the equipped weapon. Strength, Agility, Stamina, Hit, Expertise and Critical Strike then change in value depending on whether you are DPS or tanking. Balance and Restoration prioritize caster stats instead. A full level-30 BiS list should wait for better mapping of the new dungeon and crafted item pool rather than pretending an automated database score is final.
If you want to skip part of the 1-60 route after launch, our WoW Forever Leveling Boost can be configured for a Druid or another alt.
Druid Strengths and Weaknesses
Druid's largest advantage remains flexibility, but Forever makes that flexibility more practical by fixing form scaling and filling several old toolkit gaps. The trade-off is that one talent and gear setup still cannot perform every role optimally at the same time.
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Can tank, heal, play melee DPS or ranged DPS on one character. | Each role still needs appropriate talents, gear and player knowledge. |
| Excellent open-world mobility through Cat, Prowl, Aquatic Form and Travel Form. | Repeated shapeshifting costs Mana and careless form swapping creates downtime. |
| Weapon DPS and weapon procs now work properly in combat forms. | Feral becomes more sensitive to weapon upgrades than old Classic players may expect. |
| Bear has a much more active threat toolkit through Primal Bite, Swipe scaling and Feral Charge. | Final raid mitigation cannot be judged before Dire Bear, level-60 gear and real bosses are available. |
| Restoration gains Revive, earlier Swiftmend and later Wild Growth. | HoT healing requires anticipation and can lose value when other healers constantly snipe damage. |
| Strong PvP and objective utility through stealth, roots, forms and healing. | Druid lacks a universal baseline kick-style interrupt; Bear Feral Charge only covers that need in specific builds/forms. |
| Balance has a much clearer rotation through Insect Swarm and Eclipse. | Long-fight Mana remains an important unanswered level-60 question. |
WoW Forever Druid FAQ
The answers below reflect the current level-30 beta rather than the older level-20 snapshot.
Is Druid good in WoW Forever?
Yes. Druid is A tier overall in the current ExpCarry ranking because of its flexibility, mobility, healing, tanking and PvP utility. Individual Druid roles occupy different tiers, so that does not mean every Druid DPS build is A tier.
What is the best Druid leveling spec?
Feral. Cat Form, Feral Swiftness, stealth, Energy-based damage, Shifting Power, Bear survivability and Travel Form at level 30 give Feral the best overall open-world flow.
What is the best level-30 Feral build?
A strong current core uses Ferocity 5/5, Feral Instinct 3/3, Feral Swiftness 2/2, Savage Fury 2/2, Shredding Attacks 3/3, Shifting Power, Primal Bite, Sharpened Claws 2/2, one point in Blood Frenzy or Feral Charge, and Leader of the Pack at level 30.
Does Feral still use Mangle?
No, not in the form described by the old guide. Blizzard renamed the current talent attack to Primal Bite after removing the Mangle debuff. Cat continues to use Claw and Shred, while Primal Bite is the new Bear attack.
Does Feral still use Tiger's Fury?
No. Tiger's Fury was removed in the October 1 beta update. Shifting Power is the new Feral talent used to convert Mana into Energy.
Is Bear Druid a real tank?
Yes. Bear can tank the current dungeon content with Primal Bite, Swipe, Growl, high armor/health and the rest of its Feral toolkit. Final raid ranking is still unknown.
Is Balance Druid good at level 30?
Balance is considerably more playable than it was at the first beta cap. Wrath received a major damage increase, Starfire is available, and the tree can reach Insect Swarm and Eclipse. Mana remains the main concern for longer fights.
Does Druid get Wild Growth at level 30?
No. Wild Growth is a 31-point Restoration talent reached later. Level-30 Restoration can already reach Swiftmend.
Does Druid get a normal resurrection?
Yes. Revive is an out-of-combat resurrection learned from level 12. Rebirth remains the combat resurrection.
When does Druid get Travel Form?
Travel Form is learned at level 30 and increases outdoor movement speed by 40%.
Can Skyborne play Druid?
Yes. Both Alliance High Order Skyborne and Horde Windshaper Skyborne can play Druid, with unique racial Druid appearances.
Which races can play Druid?
Alliance can choose Night Elf or High Order Skyborne. Horde can choose Tauren or Windshaper Skyborne.
Sources and Update Method
This guide was updated against Blizzard's September 30 Hunter/Druid class deep dive, the October 1 WoW Forever beta development notes, current build 1.60.1 Druid talent and spell data, current level-30 Feral references and ExpCarry's October 2 class-tier page. Current-cap gameplay is kept separate from September level-60 simulations, and newer official Blizzard changes override older beta/database wording when the two conflict.
