Stat value?

[Snugglz]

I was just wondering what the stat values are for a druid. I tried to figure it out myself but it was really confusing >.<

Well...I can explain what each stat means to you, but how you choose them is up to you.

STR: Melee damage
AGI: More damage, chance to crit, and chance to dodge
STAM: Life please!
INT: Mana
SPI: Regeneration

Druids can be just about anything depending on your play style and talent selection. If you want to focus more on melee damage, get STR, STAM, and AGI gear and spec in the Feral tree. If you want to focus more on casting, be it healing or using Balance skills, go with more INT, SPI, and STAM.

I would love to deck my character out with tons of melee gear, but the truth is, even if I do more damage in Cat or Bear form, I don't last half the time I do with a large mana pool allowing me to constantly deshift, heal, and reshift. What makes Druids powerful is their ability to continually start the fight over brand new. Think of this:

You prowl up on someone in Cat form, Ravage, Rip, and Claw them down, but they beat you down also. Deshift, heal, shift into Bear form. Tank them, debuff them, stun them with Bash. Deshift, heal, reshift. See how it works? Every time you reshift, you're basically a brand new mob for the opponent, PvP or PvE. You simply can't do this with a small mana pool. My two cents.
