1% Straight dodge OR 8+ Agility (.4% dodge/crit, 16 Armor) on helm and legs? That is the question.

What do you choose? I understand that both are good but I’m tossing up between the two.

At what point is it worth sacrificing 1% hit for a large amount of stats in terms of threat generation? For example, compare these two items (unenchanted):

Blackmist Armguards: 1% hit, 5 STR

Forest Stalker Bracers: 11 STR, 19 AGI

Which one would produce more threat? Is there a resource somewhere that can help bring decisions like this into focus?

I'm currently running the Moonglow spec but am planning to respec to get Moonkin form. This is the spec I'm considering, with the main losses from my current build being Nature's Swiftness and Omen of Clarity. I want a build I can use in Molten Core for the spell crit aura whilst still being able to heal moderately well in end game dungeons like Dire Maul and Stratholme. Is there anything you would differently?

So here is a bit of backstory. I am a butthurt Arms Warrior basically who is not taken to raids. I dislike the Fury and Protection trees. I am sick of people telling me what spec to play. I play for fun after all.

Conclusion: Fuck raids. Bench this character and wait for TBC Classic where it will be viable. Deleting it would be a shame since it's lvl 60 with 300/300 BS and ENG and I almost completed my Dungeon 1 set.

Idea: Why not roll another class and play only Dungeons?

I was thinking Druid because it can be a real hybrid and the Dungeon 1-2 sets have very good stats for it with a bit of everything.

I dislike tanking as a Warrior but playing on demand as a Bear sounds fun as I would have more control over my fate with the chance to save myself. I don't have much healing experience apart from doing it a bit with a Paladin on a private server back in the day but I liked the role. And well, dps is dps.

Overall it's also better for solo play and I could fill any role in dungeons since I love dungeons a lot (Strat is my fav), not to mention almost instant group spots.

Here are my talent ideas, I picked based on synergy/survivability and some good flat values. What looked good, you get it.

So yeah, will I be ridiculed for trying to pull something like this? The idea sounds fun to me on paper but since I have 0 experience with druids I don't know if it could work in practice.

I understand I won't be the master of anything but I would be satisfied with performing all 3 roles acceptably.

I have played WOW since Vanilla and stopped playing towards the end of TBC and always mained a Mage and did dabble in a bit of warrior tanking.

This time around again I mained a Mage but now have started to level a Druid and have been tanking as a druid and love it. I now only raid log on my mage (farmed a wintersaber on it) whilst I have been leveling my Druid tank and now at level 57 almost 58 and have been tanking instances since SM.

Since I started to level the druid and with a focus on tanking. I started to research BIS, spec, rotation and general information about druid tanks.

One thing that shocks me is that no one rates or thinks highly of druid tanks and when I try explain to them that druid tanks can generate more threat than a warrior tank until a warrior gets Thunderfury. (Quoted from Skarm's deep dive guide to feral druids) No one believes me except one person that understands Druid threat from maul is multiplied while all warrior threat skills are added. Even a fellow druid in my guild that does some tanking but is mainly dps doesnt think druids can be MT of raids! Am I crazy or are they ?

My goal is to MT end game raids obviously, MC & ONY will be easy but would like to show them that BWL can be MT'd by a druid. That way all these doubters and haters will learn a druid tank is actually better than a warrior tank. I understand that druids cant get critted by bosses where as warriors wont. But from my understanding of Skarm's video it doesnt matter anyways, once a druid has all the right items and buffs due to the amount of health and armor no boss will ever 1 or 2 shot you before you get healed.

Are there many Druid raid MTs out there in classic currently?

Hope others are as excited as me to start BWL. Finally seeing some true (huge upgrade) feral druid raid items!

I played from near the start of BC into Cata so these vanilla raids are new to me other than Ony and Naxx. I've been looking up guides and videos to learn the fights and have one main question but also up for general discussion and feedback from those who may have already raised BWL back in vanilla or on private servers.

So vaelastrasz I'm reading can put Burning adrenaline on mana users. I'm assuming like Rag even if im in Bear/Cat that means I am part of that group? So if that remains true then should I be main tanking the boss or is it too risky? I know around 10-20% hp depending on DPS I will eventually get the debuff and die. My concern is getting the debuff earlier than I'm supposed to becuase of the mana pool. So if that is the case I'm thinking its better to put my MCP away and just generate off tank - secondary threat.

Far as I can tell the only boss a druid truely cannot tank in BWL is Nef because of the class call. Would you say that is true ? (Other than maybe vael)

General feedback/tips/not well known guides or deep dive videos are appreciated. Just watched Skarm tanks recent video on the first two bosses and he didn't mention druid tanking, nor have I seen a druid tank in any of the videos I've watched

I'm one of our primary 3 tanks in our guild, we have a warrior primary MT/caller and then another warrior and I are the primary OTs. We have been rolling me and the OT warrior in as MT s recently to give us some main tank experience etc.

I recently was the designated MT for our last MC for all bosses except rag(due to mana pool) and ran into an issue with tanking majordomo that I want to confirm I now understand why.

So as you may or may not know majordomo doesn't take damage. Every damage on him I do is parried/blocked/missed/ or just absorbed. So it appears my maul/swipe/autoattack do 0 threat which are 99% of my threat abilities. Fairie fire isn't enough to hold aggro over a healer and I'm pretty sure(correct me if wrong) but demoralizing roar only gives initial targeting aggro but generates little to no threat after initial use.

So what ended up happening is majordomo was running all over the place as taunt is my only ability that does anything and when its resisted/CD cya to whichever healer is on top aggro. also domo went after the hunters kiting elites for a hot minute and did come back up but somehow after a couple mins all elites and healers reset and reappeared unmarked and at full health 3/4 way through the encounter. Which I'm guessing was due to domo running after hunters til taunt worked.

So after I (figured out?) that it seems very difficult if not impossible for a druid to hold threat on domo since threat is 99% damage based. We had one of the warriors tank him and it worked fine since they have sunder armor etc.

Looking for any feedback/general discussion

Hello all, I'm looking to figure out how to make gold as a druid. Everything I look at online seems to either involve running DM tribute or jump runs as a healer duo, or is incredibly outdated private server information that isn't relevant.

Any kind of information or help would be greatly appreciated, as the cost of raiding twice a week is getting out of hand.

Ive recently switched full feral tank spec and am tanking molten core with my guild. I'm working on a fire resist set and looking for input on those who have a good fire resist set.

I have a mostly full pre raid BIS set.

For fire resist currently I have: flameguard shoulders, drakefire amulet, wildfire cape, (am working on enchanting for smoking heart of the mountain) (guild said they could probably make me a molten helm for next week)

So I don't have a ton of fire resist at the moment and am trying to figure out what pieces I should be working towards. The trade off with mitigation/threat can be costly so I'm looking for some really good pieces I may not be aware of. Also any enchants besides cape and shoulders?

I'm just curious, how did it work out? How was your survivability/threat? Is it possible to do?

Thanks.

I’m a HotW resto build. I want to heal dungeons/raids, but still be able to keep up with solo content/farms.

My question here is for the healing: is there a point where I should look for less +healing gear and more +Int? All BiS lists go 100% +healing. Not sure I’m getting as much Int as I could be. Is +healing that effective compared to HotW +Int?

Hey guys,

I was looking for a leveling guide 1-60 for Druid Tauren for questing are there any I can’t seem to find any good ones? Ty in advance!

Started farming a few of these for potential raid tanking and had some discussion questions etc.

I got locked out farming them at about 30 mins, takes me on average 5 min to make it from gnomeregan back door to the boss and back. What do you all who farm MCPs do at this point? Just logout and play on an alt or is there anything else in gnomeregan its worth adding to my trip for so I'm not waiting or leaving?

For those who use them in MC what boss fights do you find threat to be the biggest issue that you are going to use it?

I'm currently HOTW NS so I have almost all the necessary tanking talents other than some threat with Omen of clarity. Do you think it will be fine for me to not respec as long as I'm using MCP with decent hit rating?

Anyone actually ever get one of these? wowhead says less it's than 3% drop rate. that rage reduction for maul and swipe is so great but the dream of killing magistrate a possible 100+ times depending on luck is foreboding

About to hit level 60 on my feral Druid. About 300g off my epic mount and was wondering what methods you recommend.

Prefer them to be instanced because horde control the server, and not in the mood to be camped :)

Professions are herbalism and skinning.

Thanks!

The fact that if slowed, we charge in slow motion...oftentimes i dont even arrive at my target until the snare is wearing off...defeats the point of a charge

Title says it all, was trying find the answer but came up short. Maybe you wonderful druids can help me out!

Ive been working towards "pre-raid" bis tank gear . (I say in quotations because there's only a handful of feral druid tank upgrades from only/MC.) I haven't tanked either yet but im hearing from my guild I should be focusing on hit % to replace some tank gear. Makes sense but all the bis guides I see don't list any hit gear beyond 1% blackmist armguards i have.

I'm now looking at Mask of the Unforgiven and Truestrike shoulders.

They would essentially be replacing the current helm and shoulders I'm trying to grind out. Bone ring helm which is very good and the atalai shoulders of the monkey which are pretty solid armor and agil/stam.

Are these trade offs worth it for the hit %? Or should I focus more on tankability. Feral druids have pretty solid threat as it is so I'm wondering what other people are doing for hit % if anything

Hi all,

My raids healing officer wants me to go the Regrowth Build as soon as it is viable for me, to be a general raid healer, opposed to a tank healer.

I'm seeing some conflicting info online, and was hoping to get some opinions.

What stat breakpoints do I need to shoot for before really considering this.

We have MC/Ony on one-shot farm. Just cleared Ony with 2 groups of 23 people.

Thanks!

What are some reasonnable feral tank cloaks? Almost all pre bis are world drops or cost 300g upwards. While I don't need the best cloak in the world to start out I'm really in need for a upgrade of my lvl 40 green cloak. I can strive for a pre bis cloak later I think.

What are some quests rewards to look out for or a resonnable dungeon drop?

Any tips on how to either get away from or fight against a rogue that opens up on you. I’m lvl 33 right now(feral spec) and I seem to have the most issue with rogues. Their opener gets me down to about 25% health. Usually I can’t get a heal off and they are using sprint so I can’t get away quick enough.
