Balance Druid PvP Guide (Shadowlands 9.0.5)

Balance Druids are known for strong spread pressure and securing a kill with a strong burst of single-target pressure. However, this has changed significantly. Balance Druids do use DoTs, but they are now known for their strong single-target damage and can easily kill an enemy in a stun.

• Strong control
• Multiple mobility spells
• Strong burst damage

• Cannot do damage when forced into Bear Form
• Little consistent damage
• Long burst cooldown
