Guardian Druid Legion: Remix Guide — The War Within (11.2.5)

Welcome to our Legion Remix Guide for Guardian Druid! Here we will cover everything you need to know about getting the most out of your Guardian Druid in the Patch 11.2.5 special feature, Legion: Remix.

This page is entirely dedicated to playing Guardian Druid in the new event. If you want to know more about Legion Remix in general, for example how it works and what rewards you can earn, you can check out our dedicated Legion Remix page!

In Legion Remix you will have to pick one of five paths in your Artifact Weapon to spend your Infinite Power on. These five trees each have their own unique active ability as well as multiple passives that increase your damage, healing, or survivability. Below are a few recommendations depending on your playstyle, but keep in mind that experimentation and playing around with the different themes and passive is half the fun of this temporary game-mode. Picking your favorite choice based on theme and visuals is perfectly valid!

For Solo Players: We recommend playing with either the Arcane or Nature tree for starters, due to our kit being a mix of defenses and offenses. You can switch to Storm or Fel for raw DPS when teaming up with other players, or when you can handle the damage enemies deal to you.

For Duo-ing: When teaming up with one other player, having a combination of Fel and either Storm or Arcane works best. The player talenting into the Fel tree will apply Fel Touched to enemies, while the Arcane and Storm damage deals increased damage against Fel Touched enemies, something you cannot benefit from by yourself.

For Group Play: When doing 5-man dungeons, Storm is likely your best option due to its massive AoE potential, while Fel offers great single-target damage boosts for raid encounter.

Here's a quick overview of each of the trees:

• Nature: This tree offers strong damage procs, while the active ability Call of the Forest shields you as well as dealing moderate AoE damage to targets in front of you. The passives in the tree provide good damage and survivability, and are particularly powerful when teaming up with other players.
• Fel: This is a purely damage-focused tree, allowing you to summon a Dreadlord with Twisted Crusade that will summon a Rain of Fire to deal damage in an area. With the capstone you can re-use this ability for a massive amount of AoE burst around the Dreadlords location.
• Arcane: This tree mixes survivability and DPS, but only if you can stand still in combat. It's active ability, Naran's Everdisc, deals massive AoE damage to targets in front of you, and you can benefit from this up to 3 times if you catch the orb as it returns to you.
• Storm: The active ability Tempest Wrath deals damage in a circle around you, and each target hit will increase the damage further. Perfect for massive pulls. With more points in the tree this also grants massive amounts of haste, which is great for Guardian.
• Holy: This tree is a bit more healing-oriented. It's active ability Vindicator's Judgment will deal massive AoE damage and healing, while its passives will provide regular procs of healing to yourself or party members if you team up with other players

Below you will find our recommended leveling build and talent pickup order for your Guardian Druid in Legion Remix. Depending on how you choose to level up you will want to make some changes, i.e. if you decide to just do a variety of quests, or want to mostly level in dungeons, so we have listed builds for all activities.

Please keep in mind that this Leveling section is specific to Legion Remix. For our The War Within Leveling Guide for Guardian Druid, you can head to the page below.

Since Legion Remix is the perfect opportunity to level classes you haven't played before, we wanted to keep things as simple as possible for those learning the spec. Simply use the slider to select your level to learn a little bit more about how and when to use the abilities you just unlocked.

Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!

When using our slider, note that some talents may appear sooner than you expect them to in the rotation. This is due to the differences in the recommended builds above, each taking talents at slightly different times, and sometimes entirely different talents.

Due to Guardian being unlocked as a talent specialization at Level 10, you should make use of the abilities provided to you in the intro quests until you are presented with the option.

1. Buff yourself with Mark of the Wild.
2. Enter Bear Form.
3. Maintain Moonfire on the target.
4. Use Barkskin on cooldown.
5. Use Berserk on cooldown, ideally against multiple enemies.
6. Cast Thrash on cooldown.
7. Cast Mangle on cooldown on 4 targets or fewer.
8. Fill downtime with Swipe.
9. Spend Rage offensively against a single target with Maul.
10. Spend Rage defensively with Ironfur.
11. Use Frenzied Regeneration if your health gets below 50%.
12. Make sure to always be in Bear Form while in combat.
