What are everyone’s thoughts so far? (in duels, BGs, Ashenvale, etc.)
Can’t beat a warlock or hunter reliably.
Beats everything else.

toughest is priest and rogues for sure. everything else ez
Hunter is one of the easiest classes for me, once the pet is hibernated the hunter can’t really pushback your heal or roots. Heal up and root the hunter, then kill him in the deadzone. Hibernate when the pet’s timer is low.

How long is a hibernate cast with a pet on you and the hunter shooting you? Like 10-15 seconds?
It is strong because we are level 25 and the game is very limited currently.
Balance has almost nothing going for it moving forward and needs substantial runes in the coming phases

In a typical 1v1 scenario for me in WSG we both see each other from far away and the hunter runs at me. Pet is usually far ahead of the hunter and I can easily sleep it before it hits me once. The hunter usually assumes druid is a free kill so they begin attacking instead of running away. Once I do a root the fight is over basically, having taken no damage from the pet.
But yes if the pet was already on me I would probably want to use instant cast nature’s grasp to root it before I hibernate.
The roots then break the hibernate.
If you do a starsurge it removes roots immediately, 100% of the time
You play NE?
Root, starsurge, casting of hibernate, that is four+ globals gone with no DMG going out on the hunter.

Once the hibernate and root are out, the druid has won.
But to be completely honest it’s not even required, I have won by going melee range with the pet active and just doing starsurge + moonfire + wild growth to keep myself alive, their hp hits 0 before my mana hits 0.

This is the level 25 factor in full effect, though.
You won’t be able to do that moving forward
run nature’s grasp and root the pet, deadzone the hunter and use wild growth
Absolutely, but druid is only my alt so I’m not too worried. I am mostly only druid to heal people and not to solo as balance

Balance right now is mid overall. They don’t have the control a mage or lock would bring in premade Vs premade with poly and fear. They have a strong ranger burst to help focus targets which is free mana, but a mage or lock is better overall in PvP DPS team vs team wise.
In solo play they might be the strongest class rn to get the drop out of stealth. Better than feral and rogue.
Feral is better in team PvP cus wild strikes and flag carrying. Another strike against boomkin.
It excels cus of Starsurge and wild growth. So I would say even in PvE and PvP the restokin is the king caster build not the boomkin build. Wild growth is too strong of an AoE heal and wrath/Starsurge allows solid mana free ranged DPS while still being able to drop the best AoE heal in the game. Makes a restokin an excellent choice to put next to 3 priests in a PvP premade comp.
Maybe the best 1v1 class in game, very fun toolkit. Swapping main from Hunter to Druid next phase since Hunters apparently won’t be able to be viable with any ranged damage spec and BM is really meh/boring.
Starsurge, Wild Growth, free wrath Rune is such a good combo in PvP.
At level 25.
I don’t see level 40 changing much assuming the level 40 raid has access to good dmg+healing items. The classes you beat 1v1 now will remain mostly the same, and your role is the same in group PvP.
Its bad. Dont waste your time
