Druids are fine , i was rank 13 and did pretty awesome.People just hating on something which they cant play.Yes it is probably the less optimized class compared to ALL the other classes but all the skills u have are all useful unlike other classes.
Strictly talking pvp , u always open with stealth and cat form(unless if its rogue) try to get 4/5 combo and put rip on target-->switch to bear+apply hots on yourself and the target should generally die.
Some examples are:
vs warr=Should really out last him and kill him since u have double his hp+heals+stun/ng for resetting fight which warr cant do.
vs pala=Same as warr however has heal and a 1min/45 sec hoj.When he uses hoj then in the next 45 sec u should win.Just interrupt his heals with bash and charge
vs mage=Self explanatory u are immune to poly+snares=easy kill , just need decent intellect to shapeshift(20% more int from passive helps a ton)
vs druid=rare case but like any other same class vs same class its just matter of skill and gear
vs shaman=A good wf will kill u where a bad one u will win.Frost shock on 6cd and wf is hard to get by, comes with experiance.
vs hunter=probably 2nd hardest class to beat as a druid since when u charge in , they can feign+ice trap and it may be all over.Never even go in cat form against a druid.Always stay in bear for the extra armor and hp.Hibernate hunters pet, heal up when charge is on cooldown.Same as before wingclip with no cd will cost a ton of shapeshifting.Only shapeshift when u need to, by this only shapeshift when hunter is too far away or charge is on cooldown.A quick heal and u just resetted the fight.Hunters dont have no heal so that is a plus.
vs warlock=Probably the most hardest class to go against.However most of the locks are terrible(95% of them) so yea...Only problem is fear,use trinket and if u can get black smith try and get the fear trinket from it.Also depends if u are horde or ally.Personally druid is alot better on horde than ally why?Because when horde , u face against less locks since most locks are on horde, also shaman with tremor helps alot,another thing is most ally locks roll with felhunt or void which benefits u because no succubus so no sleep!!!On ally it is alot harder to pvp as a druid since we get a pala?Pretty useless for a druid unless u get BOP but even that can be dispelled.On top of this u will have more encounters against lock+ will get sleep debuff so yea... Main thing is use charge and bash to interrupt they fear and shadowbolts.
So to sum it up , your main 3 stats intellect/str and sta u should have on all gears cuz u get 20% more benefit(highest amplifier to these 3 stats in the whole of vanilla wow , no other class gets this).Also have alot of intellect for shape shift and the 30% reduction in shape shift mp passive helps alot if u spec in to it.
Some of the OP/nice skills u get are : 2 hots(pretty OP in pvp since most of the dmg will be healed up+armor modifier+barkskin u take barely any dmg against melee) + barkskin like i said + can remove blind by poison buff if timed right + very high armor modifier(Try get 75% dmg reduction which is max) meaning druid has highest armor in game + nearly double hp as a warrior in bear form(currently u could probably reach 10k + hp with buffs , without probably 7k+ which is neat + bash 5-6sec stun with low cd + feral charge is really nice + shapeshifting out for poly+all move impairing slows and a ton lot more which nobody else has lol.
p.s i missed out vs rogue=start in bear form since rogue will open up on u with cheap shot.Get faire debuff on them ASAP and kill them.Easy XD . Nothing much to it , noob rogues like most will try to vanish -_- and some good rogues will blind u and gouge u.Always stay bear form against a rogue since they have over 4+ incapacitate/stuns so being off guard in normal form or cat form u will die easy.Use charge/bash to heal up.Also its a perfect time to use feral regen which will heal 2k hp np.
U counter warr+rogue+mages which make up 50-70% of the server population in any vanilla wow server.
This is the pvp build i would go for
http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#0zLVhZxTMscbdtV0b
All these other swiftmend builds are rubbish , they are good at running away, wsg flag carrying or large pvp but the dmg isnt their.Also heart of the wild talent is so big and u miss it?I would rather have HotW than NS/swiftmend.Getting a ton of heals is nice but with no dmg u cant even kill someone unless u outlast them in a 5min duel.In resto all the talents are rubbish other than furor which u already get in the build PVP wise.
