You will have a tremendous amount of stats as you start unlocking all Gem slots, and there is no single best stat to stack.

- Enkindle
- Windweaver
- Incendiary Terror
- Lightning Rod
- Sunstrider's Flourish
- Hailstorm
- Slay

Level by Level Rotation
To keep things simple while leveling and learning the spec, use the slider to select your level, and watch as the leveling rotation grows with each level!
Move the slider below to make the guide update to your level!
Leveling Rotation for Balance Druid
When using our slider, note that some talents may appear sooner than you expect them to in the rotation. This is because we have two recommended builds above, each taking talents at slightly different times, and sometimes entirely different talents.
You should have all of the tools you need to make sizeable pulls while leveling. You can even swap to Force of Nature, which acts as a personal tank for your pulls, allowing you to make bigger pulls more often.
Rotation to Level Up as a Balance Druid
Due to Balance only being unlocked as a talent specialization at Level 10, you should make use of the abilities provided to you in the intro quests until you are presented with the option.
- Enter Moonkin Form and be in this form at all times.
- Apply Moonfire to the target.
- Apply Sunfire to the target.
- Cast Celestial Alignment on cooldown.
- Enter Lunar Eclipse by casting two Wraths if Celestial Alignment is on cooldown.
- Cast Starsurge when available on a single target and inside Eclipse.
- Cast Starfall on more than one target.
- Cast Wrath or Starfire as a filler to build Astral Power inside Eclipse.
