Balance (WoW Talent Tree)  

Balance is the caster tree for druids. Talents in this tree focus on improving the ranged damage spells druids have at their disposal; Moonfire, Starfire, and Wrath. Insect Swarm and Force of Nature are available with talents. The key talent in the druid Balance tree is Moonkin form, avalable at level 40 after spending at least 30 talent points in the Balance tree.

Tier 1

• Starlight Wrath (5 points) - Reduces the casting time of Wrath and Starfire by .1/.2/.3/.4/.5 seconds. This is a good start to the Blanace tree to get your 5 points to move into the next tier.
• Genesis (5 points) -

Tier 2

• Moonglow (3) - Reduces the casting cost of Moonfire, Starfire, Wrath, Healing Touch, Regrowth, and Rejuvination by 3/6/9%. With a Balance Druid's mana efficiency being what it is, reduced mana costs are always welcome.

Tier 4

• Vengeance (5 points) - Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Wrath, Starfire, and Moonfire spell by 20/40/60/80/100%. (Note: a normal spell critical hit causes a spell to do 150% damage. This talent increases that to 160/170/180/190/200%.)

Melee attacks in Moonkin form have a chance on hit to regenerate mana based on attack power. Only Balance spells and Remove Curse can be cast while in moonkin form.
