Druid twinking guide
by Itazuki

A little info about druid twinks that you must know before rolling one;

Druids at level 19 are not the best choice if you want a high amount of DPS or a sick killing machine.
BUT! Druids are perfect for Flagcarrying and healing.
With the Bear form druids are almost impossible to CC if they have mana, and the HoTs druids have are really useful for healing.
So think twice if you want a druid.. it is expensive and painful to gear.
IF you however want a druid twink, this guide is something for you.

Let us start!


Healing

Talents / Glyphs / Gear & Enchants / Professions

Talents

Maximized healing.
5/0/5
Genesis 5/5 imp MOTW 2/2 Nature's Focus 3/3
This spec is the basic heal spec.

Fast healing.
0/0/10
imp MOTW 2/2 Nature's Focus 3/3 Naturalist 5/5
This spec combined with the Healing touch glyph makes the Healing touch rank 1 & 2 instant casts, and rank 3 0.5 sec cast.

Mana effective healing.
8/0/2
Genesis 5/5 Moonglow 3/3 Natures Focus 2/3
Minimizes the Manacost of most of your spells, and increases your healing. Good for both healing and Balance DPS.

Glyph of Healing Touch <- useful, My personal choice
Glyph of Wrath <- Great for Balance
Glyph of Entangling Roots <- Useless for healing gear.
Glyph of Rejuvenation <- USEFUL!
Glyph of Maul <- Useless for healing
Glyph of Growl <- Useless for pvp
Glyph of Moonfire <- Would never use this in healing gear.
Glyph of Regrowth <- Useful if you have a single target to heal

Glyph of Thorns <- Quite useless.. do not want

My Personal Profession choices would be Mining & Herbalism.

Mining for the simple reason that you get +700hp at skill 225, and Herbalism for the HoT.
But because Mining is getting the Nerfbat quite soon.. meh dunno rly
