Balance Druid Talents & Best Builds
Mined from 124 distinct builds in the current top WarcraftLogs parses. The tables below show which hero talent the best Balance players actually run on each boss and key.
Also searched as Boomkin.
This page ranks the most popular Balance Druid talent builds among top WarcraftLogs parses, separately for raid bosses and Mythic+ dungeons. The ranking is based on the hero talent each parse uses, with the share calculated over 116 individual parses. Across every encounter—from Nek'zali the Soulcoiler in raid to Ruby Life Pools in Mythic+—Elune's Chosen appears as the top hero talent, and it holds a 100% share of parses. This means every top parse you see uses Elune's Chosen; no other hero talent shows up in the data.
The table lists up to five builds per encounter, all using Elune's Chosen, so the variation you'll find is in the regular talent tree, not the hero tree. When you look at the table, treat the usage figure as a popularity measure among top players, not as proof that one build is superior to another. If you're aiming to mimic top parses, starting with Elune's Chosen is the clear consensus, but you'll still need to pick your other talents based on the specific encounter and your own testing.

Omnium Folio runes · what top players pick raid 39 players Mythic+ 39 players
The Patch 12.1 Omnium Folio has five rune rows. This is what the sampled top logs actually run in each row, read from the runes' own damage, healing and buff traces. Bold = most picked. Rows 1 and 5 are procs, so their share is inferred from the traces they leave.
| Row | Raid | Mythic+ |
|---|---|---|
| Row 1 | ||
| Row 2 | ||
| Row 3 |

How to unlock the Omnium Folio and fill the rows
At level 80, take The Magisters' Call from the Magister's Missive at the Field Accolade Quartermasters in Silvermoon City, help Grand Magister Rommath and Magister Umbric restore the Sunstrider Omnium in Eversong Woods, and finish The Omnium Reawakens for the Folio and row 1. Then each week the Seeking Knowledge quest at the Sunstrider Omnium pays one Mote of Omnial Inquiry, one row per mote: week 2 Ritualized Arcana ×8 (Ritual Sites), week 3 Dark-Ley Coalescence ×5 (Void Incursions), week 4 Pure Primessence ×1 (delves, dungeons, raid or strongbox), week 5 an alien magic fragment from Showdown world bosses plus 3 world quests. Motes are account-wide once one character has done the quest; since 12.1 alts skip the intro. The Folio UI opens from the map and runes can be swapped freely out of combat.
