Druid Changes - 1.8

[Awolfscry]

The new feral and balance talents will help the druid class tremendously. You will see more Feral and Balance druids then you did before. However, you will probabaly see less healers. I for one will admit that i'm going to try out the new Balance tree. I'm currently 8/11/31 so I get the best of all 3 trees but now I got some fun stuff to look forward too. The Moonkin form will give you a lot of DPS and have the armor of a Bear. Plus you'll be able to hit enemies from farther away in Moonkin form with Nature's Reach and do more damage to them with Moonfury. Not to mention you'd be sacrificing less mana with Moonglow. Speaking of Moonglow, it also lowers the mana cost of Healing Touch, Regrowth, and Rejuvenation so, you'd still be getting Resto benefits if you switched to Balance.

Now you also be seeing many Feral/Restoration druids. With the new Heart of the Wild, you will recieve a 20% intellect bonus so you'll have a bigger mana tree. This could bring about a lot of 0/26/25 builds so you get Heart of the Wild and Natures swiftness. With the bigger mana pool innervate wont be as important. I'm going to do a lot of playing around with the talents after the patch before I decide where i'm going to stay.
