    Druid Builds for 4.0.1 - 4.0.3a

    This area is for the druid builds that were being used before cataclysm was released.

     

    With the 4.0.1 patch the talent system underwent a major overhaul. The talent trees were shorted, talent points awarded were fewer, some stats removed, some stats added, glyph system changed and more glyphs were added. Lets just say there was a major change with the game and 4.0.1 was our first look at how the new system was going to work for cataclysm.

     

    For current druid builds goto:
