Guardian Druid Playstyle for Torghast, Tower of the Damned

Guardian Druid is quite strong for Torghast, in either group or solo content you will comfortably be able to progress through the tower with very few limiting factors. Your playstyle will not differ much from normal Mythic+/Raid in Torghast.

  • Use Barkskin Icon Barkskin on cooldown as it is very short and will be available almost every pack.
  • Use line-of-sight to your advantage. This can be incredibly handy if there are multiple caster mobs that you wish to stack up and cleave together.
  • Use Skull Bash Icon Skull Bash and Incapacitating Roar Icon Incapacitating Roar actively to interrupt dangerous monsters.
  • Use the perks you pick up on the way as they are incredibly valuable.
