In my depression with ele shaman scaling and dps atm (and cause my shaman team is happily sitting at 63 while i finish more RAF) i am in the middle of leveling a druid team. I am leveling five of them and they are all 36 as of server close.

I like the idea of an all druid pve team with x1 feral, x3 balance, x1 resto (perhaps they could all be balance i am not sure yet). I also like to pvp and had some great fun pvp with my shaman in world and bg. I have 0 arena experience with any teams. I have played 39 and 49 matches with friends in 2s and 3s but that is not really anything.

I am liking the druid experience and am wondering if anyone has had any success with them in pvp enviornments. They could be spec all balance or whatever and maybe just go with four and a friend healer or 1 as dedicated healer? In bg and arena i am betting that fear will be the mind killer. Not being UD and not having tremor totem means we only have trinket to break fear and that will be used up so fast i will give me whiplash i bet. They do look like they have awesome cc and some nice aoe if it was able to be leveraged.

So can anyone with any experience using druids can weight in, or anyone with some arena experience that can default it over to considering druid?

Any one else who is moved to reply please feel free.

I played with a guy who played a solo boomkin in PVE and PVP. He could top teh DPS charts in any BG, AV was harder but he could do it. He could also top the charts in Kara if he was only DPSing, sometimes even when he would off heal. He was also one of the best pure gamers I have ever played with. He once tanked attumen and midnight in kara as boomkin. His gear was mostly T4, we didn't raid past Voidreaver. His PvP gear was mostly S1/S2 when he quit.

So yes, boomkin can be viable in pvp and pve. I think for pvp you are better off with 5 or 4+healer. PvE 1-3-1 would make the most sense. Treants are evil, evil creatures at lower levels. Fear is an issue for all MBers, even the shaman.

I have a RAF druid team + my kids both play druids for 4 total I plan to play with my pally as 4 boomkin/tank with 1 out of moonkin for heals. They are scattered in levels now so I haven't had a chance to try it yet with all 4.

This setup would REQUIRE anti-fear trinkets. And even then someone would just fear your group again after you trinketed. Shaman it's easier with tremor totem. I hate fear so much on my shamans, I can't imagine how much I would pull my hair out when I couldnt do anything on druids after initial fear =(
