10 Hated Video Game Builds (That Are Secretly Really Good)

3. Balance Druid - World Of Warcraft

Balanced druids are considered something of a meme within World of Warcraft's community, especially among other druids.

They are seen as the odd kids who want so much to stick out, they choose to turn themselves into a more terrible version of other spellcaster classes instead of the typical shapeshifting or healing druids that serve an actual purpose on the battlefield.

Except, this isn't true. Balance druids can prove incredibly useful in a variety of different scenarios, and they even have their own special role to fulfill.

The Balance talent tree allows druids to cast spells related to the cosmic power of the stars, and one of these spells, Starfall, is an especially powerful tool for dealing damage and crowd control.

The spell is an area of effect attack that is guaranteed to kill any regular NPC that stays in it's wake, making it perfect for PvE questing and PvP combat such as dueling and arena fighting.

When you combine it with summonable treants, which will keep your AI and human enemies at bay, you can unload a galaxy's worth of stars upon them and guarantee that nothing will survive your flashy druid magic!
