Druid abilities are wide-ranging, enabling the druid to specialize in any of the main roles required for the game. Balance spells are spells that mostly deal strong nature damage, restoration spells allows the druid to heal their party and better support it as a whole, and feral combat abilities let the druid specialize in either tanking or melee damage.
The only abilities which require the druid to be in a certain form are feral abilities, and in some cases (Moonkin Form and Tree of Life Form) being in a certain form will actually limit the abilities available to the druid. It's important to be careful to check what form you are in, as shapeshifting is automatically broken if you attempt to cast the wrong spell or use the wrong ability. Druids are able to shapeshift to many different forms . These are the shapeshifting forms that druids can learn, and therefore the most important abilities in the druid's arsenal. Except for Bear Form, Moonkin Form and Tree of Life Form, they are all available to learn from a trainer. Bear Form can only be acquired through a quest, while Moonkin Form and Tree of Life Form are acquired through talents in the Balance and Restoration trees respectively. Feral abilities, however, are only usable when in Bear Form, Dire Bear Form, or Cat Form. Some Feral abilities are further differentiated by only being usable in Bear Form/Dire Bear Form OR Cat Form.
In the table below, a green (B) after the word "Feral" means that ability can only be used in Bear Form/Dire Bear Form, and a green (C) means the ability can only be used in Cat Form.
