Warrior - Rolling a Druid - Advice

[Keletarise]

Like the title says: I have a high level warrior on a PvE server... I rolled a Druid because I want to try something versatile. So it's been fun, and easier than the Warr was at the same level. But now the little guy is starting to get to the point where skill points and the intended build actually matter. I have a couple builds I pulled off the web, but would like some advice on gameplay and solo-ability.


Since I already have a Warrior for when I want to Tank, I am not planning on using the Feral talent tree much, if at all. Comments??


At least for the time being, would it be better to spec Balance or Restoration?? One of the builds I have is roughly 2/3rds Balance and the rest in Restoration. Seems logical, but does that make sense to you guys who actually play one day after day?

Also: It is normal for a Warrior to start in Arms and Fury for best damage, but then (when they realize that Warrior damage doesn't scale to higher levels), respec to Defense sometime in their 50's to better serve the group in instance runs. Is there a similar Strategy for Druids? Like start with more Balance, then respec at some point to Restoration.


Thanks!

Most of the Druids I know are Restoration/Balance, either 33 restoration/18 balance or 31/20. I'm not sure exactly what talents they have and such, never played a druid. And I think most of them did respec that way for instance runs at endgame, I am not sure about soloing/leveling talent choices, I suspect balance would be better.

I have a 47 druid and I love him. I went 30 Restoration and the rest are going into Balance. Every druid should go restoration because nature's swiftness and innervate can save you so much. The only reason a druid should die is from running out of mana and when you have pretty much a second mana bar from innervate, you last twice as long. Innervate only has a 6 minute cooldown too. I'm not saying don't use your forms, Just dont use one form and never use the others. Each form owns in its own way, but using them all together and knowing exactly which ones to use at the exact time will take skill, but once you master it, you can be the best PvPer on the server. Burning Blade's best Horde PvPer is a level 60 Druid.

I personally like sinking 40 points into balance and 10 into restoration :P

I originally started as Feral with my druid. It's not a bad tree at the start, but it's awful in higher levels. It's good for soloing at the start (1-30ish), but then after that... You kind of should, not need, to spec into Restoration, or Balance primary. I've got 40 in Restor. and I'm going into Balance.

Of course, I know a few level 60 feral(primary) druids. They still solo good, but they have to carry a second set of armor for instances to heal.

i went solid into balance and for all the good skills, then hit restoration second. ive tried every other build on him and havent liked anything more.
