Balance Druid

Balance changes

• 
  NewEclipse

  Row 5. Wrath reduces your Starfire cast time — the rotation Balance never had.

• 
  NewInsect Swarm

  16-point talent dealing Nature damage over 12 seconds. Moved out of Restoration entirely.

• 
  NewOvergrowth

  Row 5. Three simultaneous Entangling Roots.

• 
  NewNature’s Splendor

  11-point talent extending buff durations.

• 
  ChangedMoonkin Form

  The party-wide critical bonus applies to all spells and attacks, and the form is now mutually exclusive with Leader of the Pack.

• 
  ChangedNature’s Grace

  Slightly redesigned; three seconds of spellcasting haste.

Baseline changes — every Druid

These apply to Balance too, regardless of where talent points go.

• 
  NewLacerate

  Baseline Feral ability at level 42. Applies a bleed, stacking to five.

• 
  NewRevive

  Restoration gains an out-of-combat resurrection at level 12.

• 
  ChangedForm weapon scaling

  Melee auto-attack DPS in Bear, Cat and Dire Bear Form matches your equipped weapon’s DPS. The single change Feral players have asked for since 2004.

• 
  ChangedConsumables while shifted

  All potions and consumables work in form. So do weapon enchants and procs, racial abilities, and most doors and objects.

• 
  ChangedNature’s Grasp

  Baseline at level 10, castable while shifted and indoors.

• 
  ChangedOmen of Clarity

  Baseline at level 20.

• 
  ChangedFaerie Fire
