PvE Druid Balance Guide 3.3.5 - Owl Guide World of Warcraft
Our PvE Druid Balance Guide 3.3.5 will show you how to play as a Druid in a raid, talents, glyphs, gems, enchantments, builds, profession, gameplay and skill rotation tips in World of Warcraft.
Race selection
For the alliance and the horde, we simply have no choice, however, the night elves will be a little more profitable than the tauerns. You will ask why? Because they have the “Shadow Melt” ability, with it you can use the flask again or eat a little.
Talent Tree (Builds for Balance Druid 3.3.5)
This build is the default build for an owl in PvE, but you still have three additional talents to choose from. But I would advise you two options, in the first you pump Owlkin Frenzy by 3 points, since the bosses often AOE and the talent will roll. In the second option, you level Owlkin Frenzy by 2 points and 1 into Force of Nature, since the trees can get 50k out, which is also a good option.
Glyphs
Basic symbols
- Star fire symbol
- Moonfire Glyph
- Glyph of Starfall
Small symbols
- Symbol symbol of limitless rebirth
- Wildlife symbol
- Glyph of Thorns
Gems
Gems are situational and dependent on build and equipment. They are used to achieve the required performance limits.
- Meta: Chaotic Skyflare Diamond
- Red: Runic Cardinal Ruby
- Yellow: Powerful Ametrine
- Blue: Runic Cardinal Ruby or Refined Dreadstone (with good socket bonus)
Caps and characteristics for an owl
Accuracy - for the horde we need to collect 10% accuracy, and for the alliance 9%, I explain why. Since we are pumping the Balance of Power talent, it gives us 4% accuracy, then we upgraded the Faerie Fire talent, which also gives us 3% accuracy. Plus, for the alliance, there will often be draenei in raids, this is another + 1% to accuracy. Speed is also a very important characteristic for the owl, 900-1000 units will be enough for us, since it would be better for us to throw ourselves in a crit. Crete - we should collect it in the region of 43-45% without buffs!
Charms
- Head - "Magic sign of flaming secrets";
- Cloak - "Speed II";
- Shoulders - "Great Inscription of the Storm";
- Wrists - "Spell Power III";
- Body - "All characteristics VII";
- Legs - "Sapphire Arcane Thread";
- Gloves - "Spellpower II";
- Weapon - "Spell Power III";
- Shoes - "Tooth Vitality";
- Shield - "Intellect II".
Owl addons
Now let's take a look at the best moonkin druid addons:
- BigWigs and DBM are the most needed addons, because they show and notify all the boss's abilities;
- ElvUI or X-perl if you're tired of the Blizzard interface, then this is sure to suit you;
- Recount will show detailed statistics of your fights, HPS, overheal, etc.; Omen monitors our aggro.
professions
- Blacksmithing - additional slots for gems;
- Jewelcrafting - an additional bonus from special stones;
- Engineering - gives a bonus in the form of speed;
- Tailoring - you can use a enchantment on a cloak that raises 295 SPD for 15 seconds, or a enchantment that has a chance to restore 400 mana, this is our choice;
- Inscription - the ability to get an enchantment on the shoulders;
- Enchanting - You can enchant rings on LDS.
Rotation
- Maintain Faerie Fire on the target if no other druid is doing so.
- Use Starfall on cooldown.
- Casts Force of Nature on cooldown.
- Spam Wrath during Eclipse (Solar) and Spam Starfire during Eclipse (Lunar).
- Spam Wrath after exiting Eclipse (Solar) and Spam Starfire after exiting Eclipse (Lunar) until the next Eclipse trigger.
When to use DoT
- Update DoT after exiting Eclipse. If in Eclipse, use Wrath or Starfire
- If Eclipse just worked and DoTs don't work: update Insect Swarm for Solar, Moonfire for Lunar.
- If Eclipse just ended and DoT attacks don't work: Refresh Insect Swarm if you just exited Lunar, refresh Moonfire if you just exited Solar.
Химия
The best potion for a druid is "Infusion of the Ice Wyrm"; To increase the speed, we will use the "Elixir of Lightning" or "Wild Magic" when the boss begins a difficult phase; From food it is better to take the “Royal Stingray Steak”.
stat. Priority
Hit -> Spell Power -> Critical Strike -> Haste -> Spirit -> Intelligence
All spells require 17% spell hit (rating 446) for a level 83 boss. We get 7% of our talents: Balance of Power and Improved Faerie Fire . It remains to get 10% (or 263 ratings) from equipment, gems or other buffs.
Spell Power is the main stat for this build. Stack as many as you can. Max Critical Strike Rating is 45% (buffed in Moonkin Form). Further accumulation of critical strike is ineffective due to how much we get from our talents and debuffs, such as Improved Insect Swarm, Improved Faerie Fire, Eclipse (Lunar), Majesty of Nature.
Max haste rating is 585 (no buff). The logic is that if we add more haste then combo with Nature's Grace will cause Wrath's cooldown to be lower than the global cooldown (1 second), which would be a waste of stats.
