Corrupted Gear Corrupted items can be obtained from all content rather than only Ny'alotha, but play a big role in optimizing performance, as many of the effects can be very powerful at the cost of potentially debilitating side effects. Welcome to the Druid Best in Slot list for the Balance spec in BfA This list is based on the most reliable sources for this Class and Spec. Remember to check back often since opinions often change on the best gear. If you think our Best in Slot list is not correct, you can send us your list and we will check if it is better than ours. I am a prior MDI champion, where I played mostly balance druid. I have also raided with Pieces for couple of years. Balance Druid is a really versatile utility spec due to its shapeshift ability. Strength: One of the best DPS cooldowns for single target and strong for multiple targets or uncapped AoE thanks to Starfall, Starfire and utility.

Recommended Raiding Build

  • Tier 1 - Nature’s Balance for ST or Warrior of Elune for stacked AoE or Force of nature which is a usable option if you are Night Fae.
  • Tier 2 - Wild Charge as it is a super flexible utility.
  • Tier 3 - Guardian Affinity or Restoration Affinity
  • Tier 4 - Heart of the Wild (but Mighty Bash and Mass Entanglement situationally)
  • Tier 5 - Starlord for ST or Soul of the forest for AoE/Cleave.
  • Tier 6 - Stellar Flare for ST or Stellar Drift as it gives insane mobility and damage on 2+ targets so you will most likely always prefer Stellar Drift over Twin Moons for the mobility.
  • Tier 7 - Solstice

Recommended Mythic+ Build

  • Tier 1 - Force of Nature
  • Tier 2 - Wild charge
  • Tier 3 - Restoration Affinity (for Ursol's Vortex) or Guardian Affinity for dungeons that has high hitting abilities.
  • Tier 4 - Whichever you are the most comfortable with.
  • Tier 5 - Soul of the forest
  • Tier 6 - Stellar Drift
  • Tier 7 - Solstice

Boss specific recommendations and strategy:

Raid Bosses

Tier 1 (15)

Nature’s Balance is the best AP generator in this row.

Warrior of Elune is only good in stacked AoE if you have Soul of the forest as it gives you 3 GCD to instant cast, so it allows for more mobility and fast AP gain when used.

Force of Nature is really good in Mythic + for taking aggro off your tank for a period of time and it instantly gives you 20 AP. It is also the best ST option on tier 1 for Night Fae.

Tier 2 (25)

Tiger Dash - Replaces Dash, it gives a burst of speed when used which reduces gradually over 5 seconds. The talent isn't that great and can't be compared to the others on this row.

Renewal - This talent is pretty good as it instantly heals you for 30 % of maximum health on use. Only use this if there is no movement required on a fight.

Wild Charge is often the go-to choice. It is super flexible due to different effects based on the form you are in. You can drag yourself to a player, bounce backwards, leap to your target, charge a target and bounce forward. Each one of these can be used in different situations.

Tier 3 (30)

Feral Affinity - Not really a talent you want to use in raids or Mythic + content.

Guardian Affinity - Strong talent for survivability due to the 6% damage reduction and Frenzied Regeneration. However, Restoration Affinity is still slightly ahead overall.

Restoration Affinity - Really strong talent due to Ysera's gift, providing passive healing for you or your teammates if you are full health. It also provides Swiftmend which is a super strong heal after a use of Regrowth or Rejuvenation.

Tier 4 (35)

Mighty Bash - This is a good stun, but you have to be in melee to use it and it is a single target stun. Usable in some situations.

Mass Entanglement - Really good for many situations as it is an instant cast that roots all nearby adds to the target you use it on for 30 seconds.

Heart of the Wild - This is a good talent for sustainability. It is a flexible talent to help out with either tanking or healing if things get tough.

Tier 5 (40)

Soul of the Forest - Is the go-to 2+ target talent as it makes Wrath generate more Astral Power and Starfire to do 150% more cleave damage on targets close to your primary target.

Starlord is the best option for single target fights. It falls off on AoE fights due to using Starfall which will make Starlord stacks harder to maintain.

Incarnation is not really strong enough to compete with the other two.

Tier 6 (45)

Stellar Drift is the go-to talent if the fights have 2 or more targets that you want to damage. It also gives you the ability to cast while moving when you have Starfall active. This is superior when it comes to fights where you have to dodge abilities and move to new locations.

Best In Slot Feral Druid Bfa Talents

Twin Moons is not a competitive talent on this row at the moment sadly.

Stellar Flare is currently the best single target option on this talent row. So this is the talent you want to use for fights with one target.

Tier 7 (50)

Solstice is the only good talent on this row.

Fury of Elune can be discussed, but its not really viable for many situations as it is target capped on AoE and it barely does damage on the primary target. It generates an okay amount of Astral Power though.

New Moon, which was the artifact ability in Legion, is not really a good talent anymore. Maybe it will come back one day.
