Druids "VoB" are defined as a hybrid class that can cope with any role and occupy any niche in the gameplay. They use the power of nature to protect the natural balance and protect the world. An experienced druid can attack his opponent with a charge of pure natural energy, using a celestial storm, tree roots or a violent whirlwind as a weapon.
Who can become a druid?
If a player fights on the side of the Alliance, then he will have a chance to choose between night elves and worgen. If on the side of the Horde, then you have to choose between tauren and trolls. It is understood that the best candidates from the Alliance are the night elf race. The best candidates from the Horde are the troll race.
Equipment and weapons
Druids "VoB" available armor made only of fabric and leather. Depending on the chosen race, initially the characters will be able to use various weapons, however, as they progress, they will be able to hone their skills in certain areas:
- Staves
- One-handed and two-handed hammers.
- Knives.
- Wrist Weapon.
- Polearms (added to the game with patch 3 0 8).
Druids of "VoB" do not know how to use shields, and also to hold two hands at once with one-handed weapons.
Specializations
Like representatives of other classes, druids have three branches of unique talent. Their main difference is that each such branch leads to completely different results.
- Balance Druids (referred to simply as owls among players) are a class of DPS casters. The playing style of this specialization is something between mages and priests of darkness, while their armor is the equivalent of lat. The main resource of such druids is mana. In addition to excellent DPS indicators, balance druids can provide their group or raid with various useful bonuses.
- Animal power is a branch for those who prefer to fight in close combat or to tank. For close combat, druids take the form of a cat, which uses energy as its main resource. The mechanics of a cat are more like a robber. As for the tanks, they will use a different shape, also available in the "Animal Power" branch - the shape of a bear. Here rage is used as the main resource. The mechanics of a bear are like a warrior. Bear tanks are very tenacious, as their armor, health and evasion are at a high level.
- Healing - in this specialization, the druids take the form of the Tree of Life. The main resource is mana. Druid healing can easily compete with the most powerful AOE healers. The abundance of HoT and numerous instant spells turn the Tree of Life into a very useful fighter in some battles.
