This WoW druid guide will point you in the right direction when you are getting started playing as a druid.
The druid is a shape shifting hybrid class which allows you to approach many different play styles and this is the reason why it is one of the most versatile classes in the entire game. It does not matter if you want to end up Raiding or doing PvP, the Druid is a perfect class for either.
Talents for druids are split into three categories, or trees, just like the rest of the classes in World of Warcraft. Different druid talent trees offer various things.
The druid can be made into a very efficient spell damage dealer by using the Balance Tree that focuses on damage spells. Some Balance talents will modify the cost of Healing Spells which is crucial for any good healer, while others will be helpful when in the feral forms.
The Feral Combat Tree that uses the shape shifting druid forms of Cat, Bear, and Dire Bear, focus on either tanking (Bear and Dire Bear), or on melee DPS(Cat Form). Learning when to change between forms will be your most important task. The Feral talents will also allow modifications to Mana. Note that in the Moonkin form, you need a lot of Mana.
The druids learn the tree of life form by investing in the talent tree, and become a very good healer, since the Restoration tree focuses on healing spells. Some of the Restoration talents, such as Furor, will allow the druid to use Rage while in the Cat and Bear forms. Other talents like Natural Shape Shifter will reduce the Mana cost of shape shifting by thirty percent.
There are some minor problems that can result from playing a Druid. It can be hard to focus on one thing because there are so many different strategies for Druids. Since different forms need different gear, much more equipment needs to be carried than other classes usually need.
