Detailed Guardian Druid BuildsBeginner TalentsSingle Target Survival-orientedMulti-target Survival-orientedSingle Target DPS-orientedCatweaving猎豹形态Multi-target DPS-orientedLeveling/QuestingDungeonsTalents OverviewTier 1 (Level 15) Talents for Guardian Druid

刺藤 - Absorbs damage from attacks and reflects it back at the attacker. Auto attacks, melee abilities, and spells can proc this effect, but damage over time effects cannot. Additionally, it turns 树皮术 into a pseudo-DPS cooldown with the pulsing damage.

血性狂乱 - Every time 痛击 ticks on any target, you gain 2 Rage, regardless of stack count. Direct damage from 痛击 will not trigger this effect.

鬃毛倒竖 - Grants you 1 rage per 1% of maximum health in damage that you take. This is an exceptionally strong cooldown on high physical damage encounters.

Recommendation
Take 刺藤 to maximize DPS. Brambles is easily the strongest DPS talent on this row, both for single target and multi-target.

The choice between 鬃毛倒竖 and 血性狂乱 depends heavily on damage intake. If you receive relatively low and non-spiky damage or if you can have 痛击 ticking on several targets for a sustained amount of time, Blood Frenzy may generate more overall rage than Bristling Fur. However, Bristling Fur has the advantage of being on-demand Rage generation, allowing you to choose when you need the additional burst of survivability. Ultimately the choice will come down to what suits the needs of the encounter in question.

Tier 2 (Level 30) Talents for Guardian Druid

猛虎冲刺 - A short cooldown short duration sprint that replaces 急奔. This will be a strong mobility option for fights that require you to cover distance quickly. 猛虎冲刺 will put you into 猎豹形态, so don’t use it while you are actively tanking.

乌索尔旋风 - Places a zone on the ground that slows enemies within it, and grips them back in the first time they attempt to leave the zone.

野性冲锋 - A versatile form-based mobility tool. In 熊形态, you charge towards an enemy and immobilize the target temporarily.

Recommendation
This row is mostly personal preference, or situation-based utility. A safe default is 野性冲锋 for raid encounters, and 乌索尔旋风 for dungeons. Depending on the raid encounter, 猛虎冲刺 may situationally be better than 野性冲锋. In dungeons or in raid encounters with crowd-controllable mobs, 乌索尔旋风 is far too strong to pass up.

Tier 3 (Level 45) Talents for Guardian Druid

平衡亲和 - All your abilities (including auto-attacks) have 3 yards added to their range. grants you the use of 枭兽形态 and some Balance spells. This is useful in dungeons for hitting more enemies with your AoE spells and can be useful in raids for positioning bosses.

野性亲和 - Passive movement speed, and you can use some Feral abilities. Required for catweaving, but also useful on fights with heavy movement requirements.

恢复亲和 - Passive health regeneration, and you can use some Restoration spells. Useful when the other two talents don’t provide a lot of benefits. Note that while the tooltip says the heal is 1.5% of maximum health, it is actually 3%.

Recommendation
If you don't have a specific use case, it is a safe bet to default to 恢复亲和. If you can gain large benefit from the passive extra range you can take 平衡亲和. If you are catweaving or require extra movement speed, take 野性亲和.

Tier 4 (Level 60) Talents for Guardian Druid

蛮力猛击 -Single target hard stun. Useful if you need to lock down individual mobs. This is subject to stun diminishing returns.

群体缠绕 - AoE root. Situationally useful, but the root is broken on damage. Occasionally very strong, such as rooting several Norgannon adds on Coven of Shivarra in Antorus.

台风 - Knocks back enemies in a cone. Very useful as an ad-hoc interrupt and for repositioning enemies.

Recommendation
台风 is the most all-around useful talent on this row, particularly in dungeons. The others are situationally strong, but they require specific circumstances to be stronger than 台风 generally.

Tier 5 (Level 75) Talents for Guardian Druid

丛林之魂 - 裂伤 deals more damage and generates more Rage. This is a strong single-target talent (unless catweaving) both offensively and defensively.

星河守护者 - Chance to proc a free 月火术 from most damage sources. Notably, Moonfire and the reflect damage from 刺藤 cannot proc 星河守护者. Additionally, boosts the power of your next casted Moonfire. This is the strongest sustained talent on more than 1 target, and is the preferred talent for catweaving.

化身：乌索克的守护者 - Strong offensive cooldown that removes the cooldown on 裂伤 and 痛击, and causes Mangle to cleave up to 3 targets. Take this in burst AoE situations. Note that if you have the 完美愿景 Major Essence enabled, it can and will activate Incarnation even if you don't have it selected as a talent.

Recommendation
For survivability purposes, on single target encounters take 丛林之魂. On multi-target encounters, take 星河守护者.

To maximize DPS, take 星河守护者 on single target and practice catweaving . Take 星河守护者 for catweaving or for sustained multitarget combat, and take 化身：乌索克的守护者 for heavy burst AoE combat like island expeditions.

Tier 6 (Level 90) Talents for Guardian Druid

大地守卫者 - 痛击 direct damage grants stacks of 大地守卫者, which reduce the damage of the next auto attack by 30%. Very strong if you are tanking fewer mobs than you can hit with Thrash. Examples include council-type fights like Coven of Shivarra in Antorus or fights with periodic add spawns that don’t melee, like Mistress in Tomb of Sargeras or Antoran High Command in Antorus. Note that some boss mechanics can eat Earthwarden stacks (Kil’jaeden’s Fel Claws, for example).

优胜劣汰 - Reduces the cooldown on 树皮术 and 生存本能. This is strong on magic damage fights or any encounters where you need the frequent use of your defensive cooldowns. If you have the 完美愿景 Minor Essence enabled (which reduces the cooldown of 生存本能 by 13%), it will stack additively with 优胜劣汰 for a combined reduction of 46%, or 2m10s.

艾露恩的卫士 - 裂伤 buffs your next 铁鬃 or 狂暴回复. This is a versatile talent that will almost always have some value in fights.

Recommendation
Currently due to the prevalence of high melee damage and long swing timers, 大地守卫者 is the default choice on this row. In some circumstances 优胜劣汰 may be preferred due to a particular damage pattern that favors the lower cooldowns on defensives, or higher emphasis on magic damage intake. 艾露恩的卫士 is stronger in theory at high target counts, but loses out significantly when there are few enemies attacking you. There are currently no practical situatiosn where Guardian of Elune would be competitive.

优胜劣汰 is also the only talent with an offensive benefit in that if you talent into 刺藤, you can use 树皮术 more frequently. This is, however, an extremely minor DPS benefit and will be heavily outweighed by the defensive benefits from any talent on this row.

Tier 7 (Level 100) Talents for Guardian Druid

狂乱撕扯 - 痛击 bleed stacks reduce the damage you take from the target and increase your damage dealt to the target per stack. Note that the damage reduction/damage boost is tied to the Thrash bleed itself, so it requires you to build and maintain Thrash stacks on every target. Strong sustained cleave/AoE option, and the best option for catweaving.

明月普照 - Burst damage and healing on a moderate cooldown. Take this for burst AoE damage and if you’re not threatened by damage intake.

粉碎 - Single target ability that spends 痛击 bleed stacks for damage reduction and extra damage. Note that the damage reduction is a buff on yourself, so it is damage source agnostic — in other words, all damage taken is reduced (including environmental damage), not just damage from a particular target like 狂乱撕扯.

Recommendation
Defensively, 粉碎 is the strongest talent, although it can be challenging to play optimally. 狂乱撕扯 is a decent alternative which requires no additional rotational abilities or playstyle changes. 明月普照 is not notable for its defensive benefit and you will generally get more from Pulverize or Rend and Tear, although it’s possible for Lunar Beam to be competitive in dungeons if you were to pull around it being up.

Offensively 狂乱撕扯 is the highest DPS talent with the added bonus of being passive so you can focus more on other aspects and gain even MORE damage.

War Mode for Guardian DruidWar Mode

Talent Name

Description

头号挑战

Replaces 低吼, any enemy you 头号挑战 takes increased damage. Every additional player that attacks adds a stack of the damage increase, up to 5. Useful while questing or battling rare elites to give you extra damage.

横冲直撞

迎头痛击 range increase. Not particularly useful in open world PvE.

挫志咆哮

Reduces the damage done of nearby enemies. Potentially useful in open world PvE if you are doing big pulls.

兽穴之母

Nearby allies and yourself gain HP. Useful in solo content or questing.

纠缠利爪

Turns 纠缠根须 into an instant cast with a short cooldown and shorter range, and castable while shapeshifted. Potentially useful in open world if you need to make a quick escape.

玛洛恩的迅捷

The wording on this spell is slightly confusing. What it actually does is prevents you from getting slowed below 100% movement speed while in 旅行形态, as well as adds 20% to your in-combat 旅行形态 speed (up to 180% movement speed, instead of the usual 160%). Additionally, it works in open world and not just in instanced PvP as the tooltip states. This talent is exceptionally useful in open world for getting around and avoiding combat when you need to.

变形大师

Improves your selected Affinity. This is particularly strong with 野性亲和 increasing your damage in 猎豹形态, but it’s a versatile talent overall.

蛮力冲锋

A combination of 野性冲锋 and 台风. Potentially useful as an additional charge.

盟友守护

A portion of damage done to allies is redirected to you. Not useful in solo content or while questing but works well with 刺藤 if others around you are being hit.

怒火狂热

狂暴回复 generates rage while ticking. This is quite strong when questing, as you can use the Rage for 重殴s or 铁鬃s depending on your needs. Be careful not to cap out on Rage!

兽群的自由

Your 狂奔怒吼 clears all roots and snares from yourself and allies. Handy if you want to help out any poor non druids who can't shapeshift out of roots.

锋利兽爪

重殴 increases the damage done by 痛击 and 横扫 for 6 seconds. This is very strong for questing, and should be considered a must-have.

强韧

Reduced duration of stuns applied to you. Not useful in open world PvE.

One question regarding to Force of Nature . Is it possible to use these to prevent for example the Death Brad (big DoT) on Archimonde ? Or the Glaive Combo on Mannoroth ?

评论来自 kyed13

I'm a bit confused on why 狂乱撕扯 is the "Default talent" when it's damage reduction is at 6% when an enemy has 3 stacks of 痛击 on them, but 粉碎 gives an easy to manage 8% damage reduction buff yet is labeled as "Avoid".

Edit: After playing with it, the cooldown on 痛击 makes using 粉碎 quite cumbersome.

评论来自 Lexande

It's a minor issue but Soul of the Forest in the tier 5 talents list is pointing to the wrong version of the spell.
