WoW has a Balance Druid Refugee crisis – here’s why Leave a comment
With the launch of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, the community is delving into their classes, picking them apart, and determining the cream of the crop. While some are riding high, Balance Druids are in dire straights with many jumping ship to other specs.

“It does no damage, a bug loses you 20% damage in AOE, it dies to a light breeze, your damage requires the longest ramp in the game and still does 30% less damage compared to the worst melee in the game even if you didn’t count the ramp!” writes Chickenxd via Discord DMs. As an expert on the class who has been raiding since the Legion expansion, they’ve been explaining the situation to players since the expansion’s launch, and have even written up a “Balance Refugee guide” for players looking to delve into difficult dungeon content.
