Useful PvP Druid Spells

Balance druids are capable of doing the most damage, but most of the druid's strategy relies on using the healing capabilities of the class on yourself effectively. Restoration druids have an advantage in this area because of their boosted healing spells, but they do less damage than characters who specialize in the other branches of the talent tree.

The key to being effective as a druid in PvP is using the forms effectively. The travel form, for example, makes a character immune to the mage's polymorph. A druid character that switches into the travel form in PvP before the mage casts polymorph gains control and can then use the cool down time to switch forms and deal a large amount of damage to the mage.

A druid should keep the regeneration spells the class has access to up at all times in both PvP and PvE combat. In the battlegrounds and in arenas this gives him a little bit of extra time to get away. Root spells should also be kept on the hot key the player uses on other opponents. This keeps opposing players from getting at the druid or in the case of feral characters keeps weaker opponents from running.

Two Druid PvP stargeties

Feral druids can do well against paladins and warriors, although paladins and warriors will usually have more armor and hit points. Warlocks, priests, and rogues can be beaten in pvp if the druid can keep them away from him, and with other healing classes it is often a question of which player runs out of mana first. The key for any class to take out a hunter in PvP is to ignore his or her pet.

A good PvP and PvE player as well should be able to adapt to different situations and uses the strengths of his class in creative ways in all situations. Using a PvP guide as written will not be fully learning the tactics available in battlegrounds and arenas.
