How to play dungeons at level 35

Your combat loop

Press the first one that is ready.

Balance’s own loop, from level 20. Before that every Druid plays the same loop.

Own loop from: Balance level 20Feral (Cat) level 32

Use Starfire. It does 9% more than Wrath.

Keep up:

Mark of the Wild

Moonfire Rank 6 Keep on target · 15 sec

Keep it on the target; it lasts 15 sec.

17% of your damage
Insect Swarm Rank 2 Keep on target · 14 sec

Keep it on the target; it lasts 14 sec.

15% of your damage
Starfire Rank 3 Filler

Cast it whenever nothing above is ready.

68% of your damage

The first 30 seconds

When to press each one from the pull. The blue line under a press is the global cooldown (1.5 sec) or cast it holds: nothing else on the global cooldown can go until it ends, so of two that are ready together the higher one goes first.
