Natural Secrets About the Druid Class...
Rough hand to the earth mother, rough hand to the sky, Druids are naturally attuned to the world in a way that grants them the power to take the shapes they need most at the time.
Druids are the shapeshifters and all around combined casting class of the game. They can take many forms, some to aid in combat, some casting. Travel, swimming, even flight are at their command...
Meet the Druid
*Purrrrr*
Attuned to the Core
Gentle with a touch of insane power.

Druids are a highly versatile class of the game. They have the ability to shift forms to accomplish various feats as well as cast, heal, and fight. That's right, these guys can do just about everything. And what's more, they don't need a pet cause they are their own best friend.
A good druid can heal in a pinch, tank, melee DPS, spell DPS, or, or, well, you get the picture. This is a jack of all trades type of class.

Talent Trees
Shapeshifters R US
Talent Tree: Balance
This star is for you!

Balance druids are casters. They can provide DPS cover and basically just sit back and cast nasty direct damage and AOE spells all day.
Great for both groups and PvP, balance druids do lack a bit with solo grinding as they aren't as well equipped to deal with damage, merely heal through it.
Talent Tree: Feral Combat
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty...

Feral spec is by far the most popular druid spec and the why is simple. Feral druids can act as surrogate tanks, pinch hit DPS, and they don't have to heal or cast very often, but when they do, it just means they can fight even longer.
Feral druids are great in groups, PvP, and solo grinding as well as having one of the most awesome animals dances in the game. Plus, they tend to get pretty cool gear just for this spec.
Talent Tree: Restoration
So you uh, heal too?

Restoration druids can do big group heals and a few other special things. While some people can pull this off great, not everyone is going to be able to work it as well.
The gist is that you can heal in a group, okay for PvP, great for raids and groups, not so great for leveling.
What Type of Druid Are You?
Fly by night, heal by day? Rip out the throats of your enemies?
Do you like to heal people, or shoot lightning as a bird? How about tear open your enemies like an old rag doll?
