The Rot Druid
The Rot Druid focuses on steady attrition rather than burst damage. You open on a mob with damage-over-time abilities and lock it down with Entangling Roots, allowing it to take passive damage while you engage a second target with DoTs, Thorns, and melee swings. When the second mob dies, you repeat the cycle by rooting a new target and returning to finish off the first. Auto attacks are maximized to trigger Omen of Clarity, using Clearcasting procs either to increase damage when safe or to cast free Regrowths for incredible sustain.
It all starts with Entangling Roots…
The Rot Druid playstyle begins taking shape early. At level 8, you gain Entangling Roots, the foundation of this approach. Even at this stage, you can pair Moonfire with Roots to safely maximize the damage of a full-duration DoT while minimizing incoming hits. This simple combination sets the tone for the Rot Druid’s method: control the fight, keep enemies at a distance, and let your spells do their work while you stay healthy.

Welcome to the Alliance, Thalanae.
We’re going Night Elf (I can’t stand questing as Horde) - plus, Alliance cities are just better. I also don’t want to stare at a dude when I’m playing, so female it is.
