What Weapons Can a Druid Use?

Weapon damage also makes no difference. Your cat and bear form damage is based on a hidden feral weapon skill that is automatically set to maximum when you level up (5 times your level). You should use whatever weapon gives you the best stat increase (agility, strength, etc). This means that you do need to train to use each weapon type at the weapons trainers, but it is not too important to actually level up your weapon skill unless you are using Moonkin or Tree of Life form.

Weapons training

While you are doing all this running around the world you should drop in to visit your weapon trainers. You will start off with a couple skills already known but Druids are able to learn the use of fist weapons, staves, daggers, maces, and two handed maces.

You must visit the trainer and spend ten silver to train each skill before you can equip weapons of that skill type. Each weapon skill has a maximum point value that is equal to five times your level, and you can gain points by swinging any weapon of that type.

You also have a hidden feral weapon skill to represent your claws in Cat and Bear forms. This hidden skill is automatically maxed out for your level and other weapon skills do not matter in those two forms.

Do procs work on druid weapons

In bear or cat form we don't use weapons - we use claws. Since we are not hitting anything with our weapon, no "chance on hit" procs will ever work eg. crusader, lifestealing, stun procs etc. This applies to weapons only, so proc effects on your armor, trinkets etc. will work in any form.

Note that these rules don't apply Moonkin or Tree of Life forms. Those forms do actually swing the weapons we are holding.

What is the Druid 101

This guide is intended to help new and seasoned World of Warcraft players with the practical aspect of playing the class. The general sections will be kept brief and the focus of the guide will be on Druid-specific content and gameplay.

What stats do druids need

Since we do a little bit of everything, we need a little bit of everything. Ideally, if we were going into a fight blind, we would have a decent amount of every stat and bonus available. Since we typically do know what role we are filling, what our personal playstyle is, and what to expect in the next fight, we often want to focus on stats that help us most.

Here is a prioritized listing of what to focus on for what specialized roles you will play in groups. Keep in mind that only the five primary stats are readily available until the mid-50 levels and up.

  • Healing Druids: healing power, intellect, mp5 (mana every 5 seconds), spirit.
  • Nuking Druids: spell power, spell critical strike rating, mp5, intellect, spirit.
  • Melee Druids: strength, agility, attack power, critical strike rating, hit rating.
  • Tanking Druids: armor, stamina, agility, defense rating, dodge rating, strength.

There will be many influencing factors that change these priorities around a little such as PvP vs PvE, particulars of a boss fight, etc. In PvP, for example, stamina becomes much more important to every role. For the most part while leveling you just need to make sure you aren't neglecting anything.
