WoW Forever Druid

Balance, Feral Combat, Restoration · Alliance and Horde

Druid gets four new talents and eight reworked ones in the demo build. Mangle and Berserk are the Feral headline, Wild Growth the Restoration one, and Genesis and Nature's Majesty give Balance the periodic damage and crit scaling it never had in Classic.

What changes for Druid

Heart of the Wild moves from row six to row one and Moonglow from row five to row two, so hybrid builds are cheaper to reach. Swiftmend no longer consumes the heal-over-time it feeds off and picks up a 15 second cooldown instead.

Improved Mark of the Wild is baseline. The Skyborne can be Druids on either faction and bring new Druid forms with them, so Night Elf and Tauren are no longer the only options.

Specs

Balance DruidDPS
Genesis and Nature's Majesty, plus Moonglow moving up the tree, build Balance into a full caster spec. In Classic it mostly spammed Moonfire.
Feral Combat DruidDPS / Tank
Mangle and Berserk arrive, Primal Fury works in both forms, and Feral Charge gains a Cat leap.
Restoration DruidHealer
Wild Growth is an instant party heal and Swiftmend no longer consumes your heal-over-time effects.

Simmed reference builds

Each saved board sims a fixed Druid reference character at level 60, against a raid-boss target for two minutes, full raid buffs and consumables, no world buffs. The DPS is the spec's trinket board baseline (both trinket slots empty) and the rank is its place on the Forever DPS tier list.

Races

Night Elf

What the Druid sim has to model

Beyond the engine-wide changes (unified hit and crit, Expertise, bonus healing as spell damage, periodic crits), these are the Druid-specific pieces the Forever engine has to get right.

A Feral Cat rotation with Mangle and Berserk and a Bear model that uses Primal Fury.
Genesis and periodic crits for Balance, with bonus healing counting toward spell damage.
Wild Growth and the no-consume Swiftmend for a Restoration healing model.

Druid trinket boards

One board per spec, ranking every trinket a Druid can equip at 60 by simmed DPS gain, with where each one drops.

Common questions

Is there a WoW Forever Druid sim?

Yes, at /wow-forever/sim. Export your character with the MythicSim addon, paste it and you get a DPS number for your Druid on the new talent trees. It runs on a MythicSim-maintained fork of ElliotWood/Forever, built on wowsims/classic (both MIT licensed).

What new spells does Druid get in WoW Forever?

Mangle, Berserk, Wild Growth. New talents include Genesis, Nature's Majesty.

Which races can be a Druid in WoW Forever?

Druid can be played by Night Elf, Tauren, Skyborne in World of Warcraft: Forever. The new Skyborne race can be a Druid on either faction.

What are the Druid specs in WoW Forever?

Balance (DPS), Feral Combat (DPS / Tank), Restoration (Healer). Forever keeps the three Classic trees for every class and reworks their contents; there are no new specs.

Do I need a /simc string to sim a Forever Druid?

No. Install MythicSim addon 0.3.0 or newer in Forever, click its minimap button or type /msim, then paste the JSON on the Forever sim page. Retail /simc strings use a different format.
