Ok so Balance druids are complete trash.
My damage is doing nothing to all classes now and specs, everyone hit huge crits and heals massive amounts except us ! we have no off heal, we got barely any CC.
Can someone explain to me how you kill a ret paladin,warrior,Demon hunter,Rogue, or DK as balance druid? I am completely outraged that they gave +8% damage boost to Arcane mage and Balance got nothing…I don’t know which warrior spec but Warriors are healing as they attack such massive amounts that they outheal my dps, I won’t bother talking about ret paladins. I am sick to my stomach of this spec being such a pinata underdog spec.
What talents are you people using? Nothing is working, I have played this spec since the start of WOW, we were only good in WOTLK and MOP. But in BFA I think this is the worst we have been…Blizzard please look into this spec ! ffs.

Run resto affinity, there you go now you have offheal
CC? roll typhoon
Burst? did you remember to pop incarnation?
Did you read the last patch notes after 8.1? Mana regen was reduced and the resto affinity nerfed 25%, there is no off heal, not in any amount that matters.
Typhoon is the worst of the 3 choices…it barely has pushback.
Are you sure you play Balance?

I ment cyclone, wops xD
Resto affinity is still really good though, you just gotta use it right
also i can drop someone in 5 secounds if i dont get interrupted as balance, so pretty sure
Thank you for the advice, can you tell me when you heal using resto affinity? also what talents you use? post on your druid if you like so I can check if you don’t want to type, and thank you.
Im a PvE Tank & Healer main, i just play feral & balance in pvp, the only important talent is incarn pretty much, i am changing alot on balance talents lol, the vision of perfection essence is what i use as boomie, combined with pulsar x1 & streaking stars x3

omg ! this is unreal 
we might be good in mythic, but we are horrible in pvp ! why not make the dots nerf only in pve ! ffs
Guys I wanted if you have any advices to deal better dmg in pvp? My starsurges deals like 15k non crit oO and all are like 350k hp now. Its just not possible. We cant kite, we cant dmg. We only stay and die.
I don’t get this post, i do consistently top damage in Arenas as a Balance Druid, i have alot of cc in Cyclone/Root+Beam/Hibernate if playing against another Druid/Lvl 60 row cc in Mighty Bash or Mass Entangle. Though the one of note is Cyclone, as you can easily stop a firemage’s Greater Pyro, or stop a Demo’s chaos bolts.
Also in terms of damage, you should be running Twin Moons ALWAYS. as the most damage in arenas for me is Moonfire, if i have 100% uptime on it.
Lookup talents on Icyveins, those are pretty much the ones you will be using.
As for traits, you want to be running Power of the Moon 1/2x. and 3x Arcanic Pulsar, for the incredible burst damage. To assist in this burst damage, do run Memory as your Major Essence.
I can see you’re running 3x Streaking Stars, which is Bis for PvE, but it loses value in PVP.
Your stat prio should also be Int>Haste>Mast>Vers>Crit
Tips in the Arena.
100% uptime on dots if possible (If you do NOT do this, you will do NO damage whatsoever)
Starfall only if all 3/2 are stacked
Starsurge if you’re about to cap on Ap, or need to punish/prepare for kill.
Cyclone when you’re preparing to kill, or stopping heal/dps on an enemy (When they’re using cd’s, or use an immunity that you can clone).
To counter Paladins, all you have to do is Cyclone/Root them. Start with root, then clone if the use freedom, Profit.
Run Guardian affinity, to when you’re focused. Then sit bear with the pvp talent “Celestian Guardian”, and use Frenzied Regen to top yourself off.
Also do run Renewal pretty much always.
Edit: If you’re against a melee comb, it is worth using Thorns. As the damage you can get out of it is insane, if they do not switch targets.

Thank you,this helps a lot. However my problem is mainly when 2 melee focus me and I can’t kite or cast…
Sit bear, with bear affinity. Use Frenzied regen when low, to heal.
For me as a tauren, if i’m being focused. I usually do a war stomp followed by a cyclone on one of the melees. Although you won’t be able to do that as a Nelf.
Best thing for you to do, is to Fake cast, or bait kicks with lunar strike. So you can use cyclone/root on either or both of them.
Just remember to utilize as much as you can. Sitting on cc’s/heals/dmg is a waste.

Instead of starting an new Topic asking Blizzard to correct this critical mistake, we suggest to go resto?
A lot of people have been complaining regarding this issue, and many quit even playing for this reason. Balance druid went from an average dps and an average pvp spec to a total trash. You don’t stand a chance against any spec 1 vs 1 and you cant even escape . Balance druid has become the frag maker and the slap collector of the batlegrounds. I guess the programmer who hired after cataclysm was not very bright. I sudgest we start a new topic, with suddgestions regarding Balance druid. For example We demand Mark of the wild back!!! why even they removed mark of the wild? what was … I mean were they found this guy? From craigslist ???
