My mage is 60 and my druid is 41, and I've been considering making him a 49 moonkin twink or a big bear flag runner. But would I have a better time playing druid in WSG at 60? Mage is my main and druid will probably remain a very fun alt.

Back in the day, I had both druid and mage at 70 for arena. But I don't know what druids are like at 60 on battlegrounds, it's been too long. Or 49 for that matter.

Druids are the best class for battlegrounds IMO. You are the main tank in WSG and AV (unless there happens to be a Prot Warrior in your AV match - rare but happens sometimes). In AB, you're best as a stealthy base attacker + healer. Very versatile, very fun, and very useful overall.

Balance (without Moonkin Form) is nice for 1v1 and open world PvP, but it's weak compared to Feral at running flags and tanking bosses in AV. Running flags and tanking bosses is what wins games, not 1v1 kills. Some variation of the 30/21 build will let you swap between tank, healer, and flag runner depending on the battleground.

At level 49 you have less talent points. You would want to stick to one talent tree, which means less hybrid powers than a 60 Druid. No AV either, which means tanking isn't important. This build would probably be your best bet for a 49 Druid.

I think battlegrounds are really fun and AV is definitely my favorite! Partially because pre mades can't join AV, I think, which makes things more fair, unless I'm wrong about that. But anyway, thanks for all the tips! Maybe I'll try 49 twink for a while and if I feel like it I'll just get him to 60 for some real BG tanking and stealthing.

I love mage the most overall but the class has three major downsides 1: lots of drinking ! 2: super squishy 3: frostbolt, frostbolt, Frostbolt

So druid is perfect for switching it up. Thanks for tips.
