Overview

Welcome to the Wow Forever Guide to Balance Druid Leveling. This guide covers the full journey a balance druid could take going from level 1 to 60 covering all talent choices and gameplay tips.

Druids in wow forever have undergone some massive changes and Balance especially has improved a lot.

The biggest change is the mana cost of Wrath. Both baseline mana cost has been reduced by 33 to 50% and the Improved Wrath talent now gives up to 50% mana cost reduction as well.

This wrath change as well as several other good mana changes have allowed Balance druid leveling to be a powerful and competitive option for efficiency.

*So far the beta is only to level 20 with level 30 unlocking very soon. I'm working on a video guide to accompany this written one. For now I have linked to my level 1-12 leveling video as Alliance in the new Skyborne starting island Zephras Isle.

Here is the level 20 Tree (11 talent points)

These level 20 Talents focus to get the 30% movement speed boost in cat form right when you hit level 20.

Start off levels 10-13 Putting points into Improved Wrath then allocate points into Heart of the Wild so that level 19+20 you can take Feral Swiftness 2/2. This is just making sure right when we hit level 20 and get Cat Form we have the full 30% movement speed bonus.

*Optional: If you want to be a little stronger and sacrifice the movement speed you can stick to full balance and get Nature's Splendor instead at level 20. You will be a little slower running around, but its only for 10 levels. At level 30 you get Travel Form.

Gameplay

Level 1-20

Level 20-30

Level 30-45

Level 45-55+

From level 1-10 before you get talent points you will generally cast a couple Wrath and then a Moonfire and then Auto-Attack usually 1 mob at a time until its slain. Front loading the spell casts allows mana to regenerate enabling less downtime.
