The WarCraft universe has long been a huge, densely populated world in which there are various races, classes, types of characters, as well as their symbioses. Among them there are tauren druids, which will be described in this article.
World of Warcraft
Fans of the WarCraft universe know that it is divided into several worlds. The main action takes place in Azeroth, Argus and Draenor. Each has its own history and race, living in it. In the course of events, the inhabitants of the worlds sometimes visit one or another for the purpose of migration or capture.
Tauren race
Outwardly, these creatures look like a mixture of an orc and a bull. Men are much larger than women and can reach 2.3 m in height and 180 kg of weight. Animal skins are used as clothing, and bones are used for jewelry.
Until a certain moment, they led a nomadic lifestyle. Cairne the Bloodhoof brought the sedentaryness, which was able to establish a city in Azeroth - Thunder Bluff, which became the capital of tauren.
The formation of the race was influenced by the orc Thrall, who, in the course of his mission, met once with Cairn and helped him defeat the centaurs who plagued him. After the victory, the tauren joined the Horde.
Druids
In Warcraft, Druids are a character class. It is believed that they can draw their strength from natural sources. At first, only night elves possessed such abilities, however, then this teaching spread to other races.
The leader's tauren druid name is Hamuul Runic Totem. He was a good friend and supporter of Cairne.
Character Features
By default, a tauren druid has its own set of specific bonuses and features:
- Thundering tread. The ability to stun nearby enemies for 2 seconds. It takes 0.5 seconds to cast a spell.
- Endurance. Passive bonus, giving a health gain of 5%.
- Cultivation. Gives +15 to Herbalism, which is a good help in the initial stages of the game;
- Resistance to Nature Magic. Protection against the effects of spells.
Pros and Cons of a Druid
This class is able to take a variety of animal forms. In particular, a tauren druid can transform into a bear and a cat. This helps the character transfer damage, inflict it and quickly move around the world. Druids also have good spells.
If the druid is in the form of a beast, then he receives complete immunity to the polymorph spell. However, if it was applied to a character in a human form, then he will not be able to turn into another form.
When transforming, all effects that affect the speed of movement, for example, various stuns, are eliminated.
Of the minuses, it is possible to note the impossibility of wearing heavy types of armor. Their armor is fabric or leather. And transformation into animal forms does not make it possible to use the entire spectrum of spells, since they are absent in these forms.
Order of abilities
One of the first things to pump is the appearance of a tauren-druid bear. It becomes available at character level 10. When converted, armor increases by 200% and endurance by 55%.
Then the first marching appearance is studied. This is a marine animal in the form of which it is possible to move under water at a speed increased by 100%.
Further, you can study the appearance of the cat, which helps to increase the movement of the character by 30%.
The next camping look of tauren-druid allows you to take the form corresponding to the current terrain.
Lunar owl is a special form of tauren druid. In this guise, the hero deals 10% increased damage from magic, and his armor is improved by 200%.
The following hiking options significantly increase the speed of the character.
Meeting other classes in the game
When fighting with hunters, it is better to stay at a distance of a direct strike, since this type hits well from afar.
The warrior will try to stun the druid, depriving him of the opportunity to heal during the battle. Therefore, one must act quickly and be proactive.
Shamans and Druids are a bit alike. However, when meeting with him, he should not cause any difficulties.
Professions
Further, it is worth considering a tauren-druid guide on pumping professions. Typically, experienced players immediately explore fishing, cooking and first aid. Fish can help in alchemy, and the fishing profession itself improves cooking. Then it would be nice to study herbalism and leatherworking. This will help to make clothes at an early level, as well as sell things. Other tauren-druid professions will not be able to help him much.
Equipment
Each player in the process of becoming a character himself chooses? what to wear and how to arm your hero. However, small recommendations will not hurt.
First, a brief educational program on things in the game:
- Gray. The simplest things are of poor quality.
- White. Medium quality items.
- Green. Can be obtained for completing quests. They have an unusual quality.
- Blue. Rare things. You can get a chain of completed quests.
- Violet. They are also called epic. Drop out, as a rule, in raids at the maximum level.
As for weapons, the main for the druid is the staff. In most cases, they are not used by other classes, they are easier to find and items are suitable for any character specialization. It should be borne in mind that a druid cannot carry weapons in both hands.
Specializations
In battle, a druid can have a specific role. There are 4 types of specializations for this class:
- Balance. The main damage in this role the druid deals from afar with the help of magic. Therefore, their main resource is mana. This happens in the form of a moon owl.
- The power of the beast. In cat form, the druid deals melee damage with its claws. This image is very fast and agile. Has the ability to become invisible to attack the enemy unexpectedly.

If there are several opponents, the tactics do not change much. First you need to apply the Lunar and Solar lights with their support. Then it will effectively cause the New Moon. With a large number of targets, a Lunar strike along with Lunar power will be much more reliable than Solar Wrath.
