Solar Beam is a Balance druid talent.

Tips and tactics[]

  • Applying Spell nature stranglevines [Entangling Roots] or Spell druid massentanglement [Mass Entanglement] then Solar Beam is pretty useful against enemy spellcasters and healers in PvE or PvP, but be careful not to damage the effected target(s) or it will cancel the snaring effect.
