WotLK Classic Druid Weapons Guide

Last updated on Sep 19, 2022 at 22:00 by Seksixeny 3 comments

Weapons are very important for Druids, especially early on, or when playing Feral, as many weapons require unique stats in order to apply their bonuses when in Cat Form IconCat Form or Bear Form IconBear Form.

1.

Druid Weapon Skills

Druids can use Daggers, Fist Weapons, Staves and Maces, as well as off-hands and Idols in the ranged slot. While most classes swing their melee weapons in combat, dealing damage according to the DPS of the weapon itself, this is not the case for Feral Druids.

Cat Form IconCat Form and Bear Form IconBear Form have normalized auto-attacks, and scale only with Attack Power and other secondary stats, ignoring a weapon's damage range and speed. Ability damage is also calculated using these normalized values, making weapon damage meaningless. To compensate for this, all weapons Druids can use have extra Attack Power that is only applied to Feral Druid forms in them, such as Staff of Natural Fury Icon Staff of Natural Fury.

Druids know how to use one-handed maces (Tauren) or daggers (Night Elf) and staves when created, and learn how to use the rest of their potential weapons from the Weapon Masters around the world.
