How to kill a druid

[Amirite]

First things first...if you're not class in able to slow (frostbolt, hamstring, frost shock, entangling roots, really anything a druid can form out of) then this guide is not for you =(

okay, this is really simple, and i'm not sure why people don't d o this all the time but when you slow a druid the normal reaction to that is for them to form out then form back in again. In my resto druid it costs me ~1500 mana to do all that. Most druids (especially feral) don't monitor their mana so they end up going oom quick but since people dont bother slowing them because "they'll just get rid of it" (the debuff) druids don't need to worry. so if you spam slows/polys you can make that druid go oom crazy fast

Calculations:
Feral druid mana: MAX 5K
5000/1500 = he can form out 3 times (not counting the heals and rejuvs he'll probably drop on himself
Resto Druid mana= MAX 10K (if they have like 0 MP5)
10,000/1500= ~7 form outs, not counting heals

Best Classes to do this:
1. Warlocks: Curse of Exhaustion
2. Warriors: Hamstring
3. Mage: Frostbolt (Rank:1), (on emergencies) Polymorph

this tactic might be hard to pull off on a resto druid (even though i had it done to me and it never failed even after using innervate)

hope this helped you guys, because this only happened to my two times.

PS. excuse my crappy spelling, its not me it's because I'm using my laptop >.<

EDIT: i forgot to mention that my calculations are very rough and based on my estimations, the resto calculations are more accurate than my feral calculations because i respeccedas soon as i got to 70, so stop flaming >.<

nice guide but i think its kidna common knowledge for pvp'ers

[Therrm]

shapeshipt cost less than 1500mana guy

Don't pvp as a druid with less then 6k mana -.-'

[w0rf]

Since when did it cost 1500 mana to shift out?

Try 150 or less ;p

I am not sure how much mana it takes to shapeshift to cat / bear as a feral druid

but I think he means it take 750 mana to shift then when he un-shift , he will re-shift ,,, so a other 750 mana

750 +750 = 1500


so I think that's what he means

My feral druid main character has 7k mana
Calculations: You fail

With a manapool of 5450 in my dps suit, unbuffed - I was able to shift in and out of cat form 9 times. That number would get higher if you take into account the mana regeneration. Nine shifts must mean it's a long battle - and if it's so, your mana will have regenerated and thus granting you even more shifts.

A warrior needs his melee range to be able to kill you, a swift change into bear form will let you charge the warlock / mage and root them in place, giving you time to either stun him (Bash / Maim / War stomp), root him even longer using Entangling roots (160 mana) or just attack him. This would however be tricky as a resto druid, but then it's just best to stand there and heal yourself until either of you run out of mana or time (killing a resto druid healing himself can be very hard and take a lot of time).

As a warlock, a usually foolproof way to kill a druid is to throw your arsenal of DOT's on him, fear him using, siphoning and draining life from him. The druid will run for a while, looking very silly, and attempt to heal himself - and with a felhunter out, that will make his attempt of restoring his health a pain in the rear.
