Right now I'm very happy with my character, Ulveblomst. I main balance druid, and it is really good right now! The night fae ability is awesome, and it feels very good to be a night fae druid. I remember Kris saying that she was going to try to play all specs in m+ this expansion. I need a little lower goal than that, so I think that my goal is to master all the druid specs. I am so impressed about people who can be good at all their specs and roles.
Initially, I thought that this expansion was going to be very multi spec unfriendly because of the soulbinds and the legendaries. But as long as I am not pushing content with all specs, I think it is going to be totally fine. It is much harder to get loot now. I have done tons of m+, and cleared normal Castle Nathria, but still have some m0 gear. So it will not be very hard for me to be able to gear more than one character.
Balance druid
Goal:
Balance will be my main spec (at least for now)
My impression:
I really enjoy the balance druid atm. It is great for all content, maybe except dungeons where stuff dies really fast. I love the new starfall, and like the eclipse system for balance. It has lots of utility, and with heart of the wild I can actually heal a bit every 5 mins. If desperate, I can even use my convoke for good burst healing.

Resto druid
Goal:
Being able to heal when needed
My impression:
I think resto druid is even better than it was in BFA. With the convoke ability as a panic button, and the nature's swiftness that gives us an instant spell (always using it on regrowth). Convoke is super good compared to tranquility since it can be cast on the move and leaves dots on the targets that counts towards mastery.
We can actually do a lot of damage when going balance affinity and using heart of the wild. We can even use convoke for great burst damage. But I don't enjoy the eclipse system when I am resto because it is hard to utilize the eclipses when you also need to heal. Currently I always save the convoke for heals in higher dungeons.
Status:
Almost up to date in m+, need more training if I'm going to heal raids. Actually did my first +10 in time as resto because there was no room for another dps. Resto was my most played spec in dungeons for bfa, so it didn't take me that long to be able to heal a bit in Shadowlands. When we raid I go heal for Sun King, but I need to figure out how I can heal the fight better.
Legendaries:
Memory of the Mother Tree
Guardian druid
Goal:
I will use guardian spec for soloing hard content. I don't enjoy tanking, so will probably not be tanking any serious content
My impression:
It is very handy to go tank spec for soloing elites or grinding leather by pulling several mobs. I am using guardian when I am lurking alone in the maw, just to be safe.
Status:
Have played it a bit, but still lots to learn.

Feral druid
Goal:
Feral is probably the least useful spec for me since I already main balance. But it is fun to play around with, and very handy for doing old content where stuff dies really fast.
My impression:
I've always liked feral, and enjoy being a cat. Looking forward to re-learn the spec again. One thing that is a bit sad is that the convoke ability for feral is best used in balance form with heart of the wild, and not in kitty form.
Status:
Very basic knowledge of the spec. Need to do more research and practice more.
Legendaries:
None yet.
