Best Gems for Balance Druid in MoP Remix
Gems are one of the unique ways to augment your character in MoP Remix, offering offensive, defensive, and utility benefits. On this page, we list the best gems for each type. To learn more about Gems in MoP Remix in general, check out our dedicated page below.
- Meta Gem:
Lifestorm or
Tireless Spirit for raids.
Oblivion Sphere for dungeons.
- Cogwheel Gem:
Blink
- Prismatic Gems:
You will have a tremendous amount of stats as you start unlocking all Gem slots, and there is no single best stat to stack. While Mastery is a Balance Druids best stat, most tinker gems do not scale with Mastery. Mastery is still good but you will also want to prioritize
Perfect Quick Topaz and
Perfect Deadly Sapphire to scale Tinker Gems more effectively.

Enkindle
Windweaver
Incendiary Terror
Lightning Rod
Sunstrider's Flourish
Hailstorm
Slay
Tinkmaster's Shield
Brittle — Mainly for dungeons.
Explosive Barrage

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
