i normally resto druid and im still loving it, However i usually switch to boomkin and have no problem doing quests or whatever. It seems now even the most trivial mobs are difficult, i feel like i hit like a wet noodle.
There’s somewhat of a ramp-up with balance, and our CDs are very powerful. Without CDs and pulling one at a time - you will feel weak.
If you don’t have someone that can tank for you, your best bet is run treants and pull multiple mobs. Pop your CA/Incarn and just nuke.
Honestly though, balance is just inferior to feral for solo grinding one-two mobs at a time. Your damage won’t be terrible, but you’ll feel terrible having to kite things around, etc. Just easier to face-rage things as a kitty/bear and go about your business.
Just go Guardian, easy to play, decent damage, unkiliable by nomal mobs. Really easy to play… I can’t stress enough how easy it is to play as Guardian.
Guardian is easy mode when questing. Only wish I learned that before hitting 70… I can easily solo multiple 72 elites with guardian. With boomkin it’s about 50/50 that I’ll survive a single 72 elite unless I have room to kite.
Go guardian for questing and take all the talents that buff Maul.
Can’t echo this enough. All I do is aggro the world then aoe it down and frenzied regen when needed. I am so rich from skinning doing this method lol
Guardian really is king. I’m a Resto Druid main who quests as Guardian. It’s a dream. With M0 level PvE gear you can solo large groups of elites in a single pull without ever being in danger of dying. Give it a shot.
