Druid twinking guide
by Itazuki

A little info about druid twinks that you must know before rolling one;

Druids at level 19 are not the best choice if you want a high amount of DPS or a sick killing machine.
BUT! Druids are perfect for Flagcarrying and healing.
With the Bear form druids are almost impossible to CC if they have mana, and the HoTs druids have are really useful for healing.
So think twice if you want a druid.. it is expensive and painful to gear.
IF you however want a druid twink, this guide is something for you.

Let us start!


Healing

Talents / Glyphs / Gear & Enchants / Professions

Talents

Maximized healing.
5/0/5
Genesis 5/5 imp MOTW 2/2 Nature's Focus 3/3
This spec is the basic heal spec.

Fast healing.
0/0/10
imp MOTW 2/2 Nature's Focus 3/3 Naturalist 5/5
This spec combined with the Healing touch glyph makes the Healing touch rank 1 & 2 instant casts, and rank 3 0.5 sec cast.

Mana effective healing.
8/0/2
Genesis 5/5 Moonglow 3/3 Natures Focus 2/3
Minimizes the Manacost of most of your spells, and increases your healing. Good for both healing and Balance DPS.


Glyphs

Major Glyphs
Glyph of Healing Touch <- useful, My personal choice
Glyph of Wrath <- Great for Balance
Glyph of Entangling Roots <- Useless for healing gear.

Glyph of Rejuvenation <- USEFUL!
Glyph of Maul <- Useless for healing
Glyph of Growl <- Useless for pvp
Glyph of Moonfire <- Would never use this in healing gear.
Glyph of Regrowth <- Useful if you have a single target to heal

Minor Glyphs

Glyph of Thorns <- Quite useless.. do not want

ADDING THE BALANCE GUIDE SOON! :yuck:

[T3h Sorrow]

awesome , +2rep

[walfen]

nice! are 19 druids... actually... good?

[Itazuki]

If you know how to play one, yes.
but as i stated, the damage they do isn't Godlike.

[outsider141]

I have a 19 druid guide here, and i just needa add that the +100hp is better on head, because it is +20hp when you are out of bear and the same when you are in bear, but if you are getting out of bear to HOT then thaat +20hp can be usefull.

I have found myself many a time after a fight with less than 20hp so get +100hp on head

[outsider141]

Head: Lucky Fishing Hat +100 Mana
and you mean +150 mana

[Itazuki]

Head: Lucky Fishing Hat +100 Mana
and you mean +150 mana

Thanks for that, i'll fix it

if remember correctly your bears HP is on his Stamina... so the acctual 8 stam comes to more when added to the rest of your stamina gear >>>U need fishing gear tho<<<

Okay, this is how a twink guide should look like. Not like those other crap guides. Nice choice of colouring etc. 2+Rep

/edits
"Shoulders: Talbar Mantle +Resilence of the Scourge" Wont work. Old Naxx is gone AND they can't be put on soulbound items
"Mining for the simple reason that you get +700hp at skill 225" Hmm is this right? I thought you could only get 150 skill to professions at this level and isn't it 70hp, not stamina you get?

Blizz removed the level requirements from collection professions. eq. Mining, Skinning and Herbalism

And i thought the naxx enchants could be put thru Trade? =F
