My rdruid is sitting around rival and i was wondering what high rated druids are running in terms of traits and talents against certain comps. I have the biggest problem with things like RPS/Shadowplay. Part of it may just be ilvl because i sit at 150k health but i also feel like my strategy is wrong. I am running dh/war and spriest/ret with friends. Any help is appreciated.
Ive been hearing bonded souls is pretty nice. I always take at least 1 grove tending since it buffs mastery and I play the SotF build. Those are the only 2 I’d say you “need” but free healing from Waking Dream is nice, along with the random crit/mastery buff traits.
Thought you were a Boomkin? Man, fotm trash. Removing from btag.

I mean I only play rogue druid and monk.
DH/War is tough for rdruid right now imo. Playing without another person to split kicks with is very annoying for rdruid because its very cast heavy with regrowth/nourish now. For DH/War I’d almost never run clone. They should get cds off of fel eruption->long banish and their kills should happen off of warrior fears alongside fel eription->long banish. I’d always run focused growth, thorns (into a melee team outside of rets), Revitalize (it scales insanely well now that we have higher stats), and nourish. You can trade one of those for clone if you are fighting a team without ranged kicks. For the Spriest/Ret games you should probably take Nourish, FG, and swap between thorns, revitalize, and clone depending on what you fight. Also don’t forget Overgrowth into mage teams. Change out Nourish for Overgrowth.
As far as regular talents go you should do Prosperity, Renewal (almost always take this baseline imo) or Wild Charge (if you’re confident), Bash, SoTF, Stonebark, and Germination.
Rdruids job right now for most comps outside of ww/mage/rd and rmd is to just prolong the game for their team by making sure everyone lives. I’d honestly say you shouldnt even take clone until you feel like you feel like you highly understand the defensive side of the spec. Rdruid is strong right now but it is very easily punished by bad play. If you have anymore questions or need any more help feel free to add me Loxatar#1606. I’d be glad to help out. Nerf Sub rogue plz.
