Druid Hero Talents — The War Within (11.0.5)

This page is specifically about Hero Talents in The War Within. If you want to learn more about the best regular talents for Balance Druid, check out our Talents page:

Keeper of the Grove is a versatile build which revolves around the use of Force of Nature. It is highly flexible and allows for burst damage and shorter cooldown damage windows for priority damage or vulnerability phases.

Elune's Chosen is the Hero Talent Tree focusing on Arcane damage and spells like Fury of Elune and New Moon. .

Keeper of the Grove is the current best Mythic+ talent setup. This offers a blend of burst, sustained, and boss damage needed for a Dungeon. Its main appeal is that the burst is frontloaded and ramping into each pack is much easier with Treants of the Moon.

Elune's Chosen is viable in keys but can be a bit more difficult to play than the alternative. The cooldown related gameplay requires you to make the most of all of your uptime which can be challenging to newer players or players not as familiar with the key.

Can sometimes impact the rotation. If you are able to use Force of Nature to apply Moonfire, you can get into Eclipse and then your rotation more quickly.

The rotational changes are minor for the Elune's Chosen Hero Talent Tree. The only thing of note is when using Lunar Calling which no longer allows you to use Solar Eclipse for single target. You will be casting Fury of Elune more often with the Lunation talent as well.
