60 Bracket - Balance Druid?

[Winterly]

Before reading what's down below, these questions are strictly for World PvP, Arenas / Skirmish, and BG's

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew how Balance Druids are in the 60 bracket?

Are they viable?

If you think they are viable, please explain why.

If you think they're not viable, please explain why.

I checked out the 60 bracket armory list to see if there were any Balance Druids that I could check out, I could only find three Resto Druids.

If you know of a Balance Druid armory for the 60 bracket please link down below.

Thank you.

I wouldnt go for it, the bracket is extremely melee dominated.

Warriors, ferals, enh shammies, monks, rogues, dks.
If we group them all together lets say their average damage/preashure is a 10/10
Then as a boomkin your damage/preashure will maybe be a 2/10 ish.

The damage melee + hunters can put out at 60-69 is just broken compared to what casters can do.
Its nothing like 19/29 ect. Even if you outplay your opponent at every turn, he will just turn araund and piss all over you.

No clone, just slows/ roots with good kiting but no preashure.

For ranged, hunters are the only good option, shadowpriests mediocre.
The rest play at a huge dissadvantage.

Then make your own set regarding what you would consider BIS.

Boomkin not that viable currently, even as balance spec Ferocious Bite hits more in cat form than Starsurge/Starfire does total. As said before totally Melee dominated at the minute. Takes some time and a lot of practice to be a good caster class at the moment.
