The shared topic on Blog Azeroth asks, “If you had to start over in World of Warcraft, what race/class would you be?”
This is an easy one for me – I wouldn’t change a thing. I love being a druid; almost everything about it makes me happy.
Here’s what I’m talking about:
- Shapeshifting into different forms, instantly. This is so much fun for me. I love knowing that at any second I can change into another form.
- Animal dance animations, preferably – the boomkin. Nothing is more fun than surprising my boyfriend by dancing as a boomkin right behind him.
- Moonglade. My home, enough said?
- Awesome lore characters to look up to, such as Malfurion and Cenarius. I like the good guys.
- Ability to wear leather OR cloth, so I can customize my appearance and look the way I want.
- Instant cast flight form
- The ability to take on any role in a group with a simple talent/gear swap
- Stealthing around in kitty form
- Running flags in Warsong Gulch!
I used to think that I’d rather be a Night Elf because they’re “prettier” than Taurens, but then I realized that I actually LOVE being a Tauren. No one hits on me. I get to be an animal all the time. My cleavage is only slightly creepy. I like my home city of Thunder Bluff better than the Night Elf city. I get to be large and not fit through doorways. My name gets to be Pawtopsy. What else could there be in WoW life to want?

I am currently saving up for a set of heirloom gear just to level a druid with.
Glad to hear you enjoy the class so much!
