Balance Druid PvP Talents and Builds (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)

Below is the best build you can run when playing a Balance Druid.

While the above table provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

Some important spells to note in the Druid talent tree:

• Nature's Vigil is one of the last talents you can take that increases all your single-target damage and will heal for a percentage of the damage you deal. This is a very strong cooldown for both increasing your damage and survivability.
• Heart of the Wild is one of the final talents that can be chosen. As a Balance Druid, this gives you bonuses based on the other Druid specializations. For example, you gain additional Stamina in Bear Form and an additional charge of Frenzied Regeneration.

Some important spells to note in the Balance Druid Talent tree:

• Incarnation: Chosen of Elune/ Elune's Guidance. Incarnation is your primary burst cooldown and Elunes Guidance makes it even stronger. THe combination of these two talents will make your damage very scary and will force cooldowns.
• Denizen of the Dream makes your Moonfire and Sunfire have a chance to summon a Dragon. This dragon will deal nature damage to your targets.
• Nature's Balance gives you a passive way to generate Astral Power, which results in an increase to your sustained damage.
• Solstice is the best choice in this tier. Because you will be entering Eclipses often, this is a significant increase to your sustained damage and Astral Power generation.

You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents. Each of them has their uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful, but can be replaced with other PvP talents, depending on your team's goal.

Moonkin Aura affects Starsurge so that when you use it, your teammates have their spell Critical Strike chance increased. This is perfect for increasing you and your teammates' sustained damage.

Owlkin Adept makes it so Owlkin Frenzy stacks to 2 times and reduces the cast time of your next Cyclone or Entangling Roots by 50%. This is another great talent to have versus teams that will be focusing you, as the near-instant Cyclones will help with negating damage.

Star Burst makes it so Starfall summons stars that last 15 seconds. Enemies that run into them will take damage and get knocked in the air. If an ally runs into them they can pick up the star and run into enemies. This is a must-have talent if your goal is to deal spread pressure with specializations like Elemental Shaman, Affliction Warlock, or Shadow Priest.

Thorns should be placed on you or a teammate and any melee strikes will deal Nature damage to the attacker. This will deal a large amount of damage if the melee DPS do not swap off of you. This should be used if the enemy team has 2 melee DPS on it.

Celestial Guardian reduces spell damage you take and increases healing received while in Bear Form. This talent is crucial versus teams with heavy spell damage. While enemy casters are using burst cooldowns, you can stay in Bear Form and drastically reduce the amount of spell damage you are taking.

High Winds makes enemies do less damage once they leave your Cyclone. This should be used if you will not be the target for the enemy team or they have caster DPS on it.
