Balance Druid Talent Build
![Balance Talent Build](http://static.icy-veins.com/images/classic/sod/sod-balance-dps-druid-60.jpg)
High level Druid talents grant significant power with Vengeance,
Nature's Grace, and
Moonfury all being quite strong.
Moonkin Form
is also an excellent one-pointer, and
Improved Starfire is a decent investment,
although not the strongest of the bunch.
Moonglow,
Improved Mark of the Wild, and
Insect Swarm
are also taken, to improve your rotation and ability to support your raid.
Recommended Rune Engravings

Eclipse
- Feet —
Dreamstate
- Head —
Gale Winds
- Wrist —
Elune's Fires

Nature Specialization
- Ring —
Arcane Specialization
We recommend making Wrath free with
Fury of Stormrage, freeing
Mana to use
Starfire to activate
Eclipse's buff.
Sunfire
and
Starsurge are also taken for extra damage.
Eclipse and
Dreamstate drastically increase DPS potential
and Mana sustain, with great synergy with
Nature's Grace.
Finally, Gale Winds is a great area damage option, and single-handedly
converts Druid from one of the worst area damage dealers to one of the best, provided
enemies stay inside the
Hurricane for its full duration.
Elune's Fires
provides a lot of extra potential duration for your damage over time effects, allowing
you to refresh them later or never at all and gain DPS in the process.
