Burning Crusade Leak - Druids

It looks as though some of the talents and spells which will be available in The Burning Crusade expansion have been leaked. World of Raids appears to have the majority of them listed.

The Druid changes for TBC are pretty interesting. The Balance and Feral talents appear to be focused on bringing a Druid specced heavily into them more in line with parent class damage output, though it doesn't look like anything in the talents will be helping with the mitigation differences between Warrior and Bear tanks.

I believe the new Restoration 41 point talent will be incredible in a raid situation.

Tier 9
Harmonize: Distributes damage taken by party members within 30 yards between the party while in effect. Note: Its a self cast buff that lasts up to 30 seconds.


While it does not offer any additional mitigation (like Ancestral Fortitude or Inspiration) it would be an incredible way to counteract expected spikes of damage, but like our healing will require proactive use rather than reactive. I really like this because it keeps the 'feel' of the class the same.

I'm also looking forward to some of the new base abilities.

Enervate (Restoration): Drains mana, energy, or rage every second for 20 seconds.


I think this will be an incredibly useful tool in PvP and adds some interesting options to the class. I think it'd a fascinating choice of which to use if it shared a cooldown with Innervate as its essentially the opposite effect.

I'll share some thoughts about the other supposed changes in the future.

Edit: Removed the comment about Cyclone because I had mis-read the description.
