Druid PvP Strategies
This guide provides druid PvP tactics and tricks. If you're looking for a EXTREMELY in depth druid guide check out this, it covers everything you'll ever want to know about your druid.
Druid vs Warrior
Nature's Grasp, Starfire, Moonfire, Wrath, recast Root = Dead
Druid vs Rogue
Nature's Grasp, Faerie Fire, Starfire, Moonfire, Wrath, Recast Root = Dead. If they get out of root early, then slap a Regrowth + Rejuv combo on yourself ASAP and go bear form. Demoralizing Roar immediately, then stun them with Bash. Go back to caster. Root, and repeat.
Druid vs Mage
Sneeze in their general direction... Mages are so easy to kill with a druid it's not even funny. If you see Polymorph being cast, go into travel form (less mana cost) and you are immune. Keep Rejuv on at all times, and if you have Nature's Swiftness, then they are even easier. If you need to heal, do it a bit earlier than usual, and start a heal, then hit ESC to cancel it, Mage wastes counterspell on you and you are free to heal, or if the counterspell silences you, that's the reason you start the heal a bit earlier.
Druid vs Priest
Have a hard hitting 2H weapon, melee a lot, and also keep Moonfire on. When they fear you and use their little shadow spells, use Regrowth immediately, and be ready with an instant cast Healing Touch. It's simply a battle of attrition as most priests blow 3/4 of their mana trying to kill you quickly. Survive the initial onslaught and you own priests 9 times out of 10.
Druid vs Shaman
Once again, a battle of attrition. Melee them, toss on Moonfire, and keep yourself healed. Heal right after they Earthshock or Frost Shock you. If you have to heal while they have Earthshock ready, start casting Regrowth, then immediately hit ESC to cancel the spell. 9 times out of 10, the Shaman will waste Earthshock on you that way. Sure you take the damage (that's why you do this, when you are at about 50% health), but you then can recast your healing spells and they cant do anything about it. Windfury Weapon is a bit of a pain, but it's easy to get past. Bear Form + Demoralizing Roar takes some bite from it, as well as a stun, go back to caster and heal. I have never found Shamans to be hard to kill.
Druid vs Hunter
Ignore pet, either use Nature's Grasp to root it, or Hibernate it. If Hunter uses Viper Sting (Mana Drain Shot) Use Abolish Poison to cure it. Root the hunter, get in melee range, and take him down.
Druid vs Warlock
Nature's Grasp the pet, Moonfire the Warlock, and keep Rejuv on at all times, be ready with a fast Regrowth or instant cast Healing Touch. Warlocks aren't all that hard to beat. Although sometimes it will take forever, since all some know how to do is spam Fear.
Druid vs Druid
Battle of Attrition once again. I haven't lost to a druid ever since going to a Restoration build. Melee, Moonfire, keep Rejuv on yourself, and be ready with a timely Bear Form stun to prevent healing. I have a VERY high spirit, so I regen mana very quickly, and will out regen most anyone. I don't worry about being low on mana against druids. Rooting them while they are in caster form will make them use a form that will waste some mana, but smart druids use Travel Form which is all of 110 mana. So if you see him use Travel Form to break root, don't bother doing it again.
Druid vs Paladin
Still haven't been beaten by one yet. Keep Rejuv on at ALL times, have a good hard hitting melee weapon, and use Moonfire as well. If you get to 50%, use Regrowth and Rejuv combo. I say 50% because if the Pally has stun up, then you should be able to survive till stun wears off, to then cast another Regrowth. Once again its a battle of attrition, outlast the Paladin's mana, and you will win.
Thanks for the druid pvp
Thanks for the druid pvp training. I will try some of these out tonight. I have a balance druid, but the rest of my points are in resto.

"I have a VERY high spirit,
"I have a VERY high spirit, so I regen mana very quickly" Shows how little you actually know about druids.. ANd casters in general. I really laugh at you, trying to dish out something cool, not knowing that what you do is shoing everyone with a TINY bit of knowledge towards druids that you are the biggest wannabe pro nab out there. spirit sucks in pvp in general, ALSO for druids. Spirit is a PvE based attribute, and will never be a PvP based one. If you PvP you have alot of MP5(Mana Per 5 Seconds, if you dont know what that is, LOL!) This is due to mp5 giving you a much bigger mana regen boost while casting than spirit does. Get your facts straight before playing smart...
sigh. noob. u didnt get wat
sigh. noob.
u didnt get wat the guide was saying.
he didnt say anythin bout mana regen as the factor of winning in pvp.
he merely made a statement of how mana regen could help.
so noob, if u dont understand the guide, pls stay at loser's lane.
The guide is pretty crap in
The guide is pretty crap in my opinion, looks like something that have been made within 5 minutes or so. 1/5

It all look so easy when u deskribe it, unfortunatly it have no roots in reallity.
This guide really does suck,
This guide really does suck, casting is a not a druids strength, more of a last resort once healing is needed, the amout of damage and no mana used with cat form or bear form, far outweighs casting, this way you can save your mana for healing or rooting. I would never build my spirit up, I always go for agility and stamina for feral, and stamina/intellect for resto. If you try to out last a pally's mana he will own you, since he wears plate armor.
I will own most PVP if you can get pounce in cat form, stack on combo points, and unleash ferocious bite.
BTW . . . .hunters/locks/warriors are the easiest to own IMO.
Anyone who actually reads
Anyone who actually reads what their skills DO would know spirit is great for PVP. I have a 70 veng resto druid. NOT carried. NOOB? not! LOL. Read your innervate. No spirit = no mana back from innervate. Spirit also does contribute to Mp5 btw. I liked this guide, simple, easy to understand, basic, yes, but that leaves lots of room to make it your own! Best way to learn your druid? STOP READING ABOUT IT AND START DUELLING EVERYONE YOU SEE!
Oh, and also, this is
Oh, and also, this is obviously a guide for resto druids. Obviously if you're feral this doesn't apply to you. All healing gear also gives you +spell dmg, not agil or anything that helps in cat form. So, yes, casting is much more efficient for resto druids than cat or bear form.
This guide sucks imo too! It
This guide sucks imo too!
It seems the writer didn't take in count that the other player plays too and don't stands there waiting for u to hit him.
1st: never seen a resto druid with only 1 cicle of hits killing a warrior unless the druid is lv 70 and the warrior lv 30.
2nd: since the last patch mp5 is also increased by intellect and not only by spirit.
3rd: in the previous posts i read that spirit is important...the most important thing is resilience, and pvp gear, which gives resilience, on the other hand if u look it paying attention does not give spirit so u can't count on spirit for mana reg.
4th: it's not taken into consideration that generally druuds start in cat form stealth and if there is a rogue around he comes behind and sap u, u can use the trinket but again he saps u, how can u cast all that nature's grasps and so on if he keps u sapped??
5th: mages...if mages CS u, even if u press ESC u get the cast slowered in any case.
6th: warlocks....it seems so easy in the guild...but it's a pity that locks keeps generally resto druids in fear, so how can u cast all those hits on him while feared?
7th: hunters...ignoring pet...well it can be done if the hunter isn't BM but almost all hunters doing pvp seriously are BM and pets are really a problem!
again...in all this guide u forget that resto druids play with other players and so they have to heal their m8s! not only thinking about themselves!
Resto owns pvp. But this
Resto owns pvp. But this guide is old school. Lifebloom is not mentioned once. This guide is pre BC. And to the guy that said casting is a last resort in pvp, you are a tard.
All of you saying that this
All of you saying that this guide is crap, and treating this like some real pvp end game guide, are complete idiots. Read who wrote it. A level TWENTY druid. This is a low level druid pvp guide for people on pvp servers who will encounter world pvp on a daily basis, written to help out those leveling up. You guys are pretty ridiculous.
