How to play at level 60
Your combat loop
1
Direct healing
Use Healing Touch for the damage actually taken.
2
Healing over time
Rejuvenation covers continuing damage. Use Regrowth once learned when both its direct heal and HoT help.
3
Emergency tools
Use Swiftmend or Nature’s Swiftness only if talented. Tranquility handles dangerous party-wide damage.
Levels 31–60 extend the level-30 class guides we draw on and have not been checked in play. Use trained spells and talents you chose. Talent milestones assume ordinary points; Legacy can move them earlier. Weights are editable MaxDPS estimates, not measured DPS or HPS.
Class-compatible weapons and armor. Class proficiencies are assumed trained. Lower armor tiers remain available.

New in Forever
Weapons now matter in forms
Equipped weapon DPS contributes to Cat and Bear attacks. Weapon effects can work in forms. Tiger’s Fury is gone, replaced by the Shifting Power talent; Cat advice must follow the newer change. Lacerate is a Feral talent rather than an ability every Druid trains.
Skyborne Druids are available to both factions, with their own new forms.
