I thought before we go over each Druid Rotation in detail. I would share some of my favorite addons I always use that help with Druid Rotations.

SpellFlash: Druid

This is a really great addon for every Druid starting out. It will give you give you advice on what spell you should do next by flashing it in your action bar. The only problem with it, is it’s usually not up to date, and like I said in the previous post your Rotation changes all the time based on the patch that comes out, but if your newer to playing a Druid it can be a very easy alternative to spending time figuring out what Rotation you need for your Druid.

Recount

This is pretty universally used by all classes. I use it a ton when finding the right Feral Druid Rotation whenever I play my Bear. The reason why it helps so much with your Rotation for your Druid is because you can keep track of what your doing the most DPS with, and it’s probably the easiest addon to set-up, so theirs no reason why every Druid shouldn’t have it.

Once you do find the best Druid Rotation this will really help keeping track your doing it in order. It will keep track of your cooldowns as well as tons of other spells and abilities. Which are to many to name.

Those are a few of the addons I use when deciding what the right Druid Rotation is. Please let me know what you think of them.

Welcome to Druid Rotation! I love talking about World of Warcraft, and I’m excited to share with everyone my experiences when making Rotations for Druids.

I think the best way to start is by going over the best ways to figure out how to use the right Rotation for a Druid. Followed by detailed rotations for each spec every time a new patch comes out.

Usually every time WoW comes out with a new patch your general Rotation won’t change much, but Blizzard has a tendency of coming out with some pretty big patches (like the most recent one 4.3), and if that happens you may have to change things up a lot depending on what Druids changes they make. so I will try and keep everyone updated on the latest changes.

That being said, I hope everyone enjoys Druid Rotation, and I also love feedback so if you see any mistakes or have any comments don’t hesitate to let me know.
