Shapeshifting jack of all trades: bear tank, cat damage, moonkin caster or healer, and each form now comes from a class quest. In Forever, Skyborne druids are new and druids can use Polearms.

Full healer

Guides: slow first levels, then big jumps with Bear Form (10) and Cat Form (20). Feral levels best, Restoration is a full healer. Juggling forms and mana takes practice.
