So you decided to roll a druid. Good choice. We are one of if not the most versatile class in all of WoW.
You can with a simple change of talents be a tank, melee DPS, ranged DPS or a healer. Can I do it all at once you ask. Sadly no. While some overlap can be done, especially with regards to melee, you must pick a role or two if you buy dual spec.
But Mr. DruidSock how do I pick a role and what are all of these forms I can turn into?
Well I am glad you asked. This here is a little guide for new druids or people curious about druids in general. Based on highRfrequenC’s old druid guide and updated for Wrath. I will try and cover all aspects of druid life. From leveling to gearing up for raids and even professions and talents.
A Table of Contents will follow shortly but first I would like to welcome you into the world of druid. I think you’ll like it you want people to fear animals on their face, getting shot with lasers or waving tree arms to heal people.
