[Druid] Tanking
Sat, 22/11/2008 - 11:17 — Scypher Muppet
So, as the noob I am I am reading up on Druid tanking in general. Here I am going through instances taking +defense items on my way, but it seems that we don't need defense anymore because we are already uncrittable through talents. So what the hell should I go for now then? Just stamina, agility and dodge rating?

pretty much, yeah stamina and agility are best, since agility gives more dodge than dodge rating atm
If found that there are a few tanking rings with nice stamina (50-60 etc, but also have strength, they come with defence aswell but thats not a bad thing since defence also increases dodge rating and others aswell as crit immunity which is obsolete for us now) but they also have strength which is nice so if u get a quest with a ring like that the just pretend u dont see the defence
They are removing the increased armor values from items so dont worry about that.
A good addition for ur arsenal for improved multimob tanking is glyph of maul
gives you a nice dps boost aswell

Got the glyph already, it's heaven

Found some nice crafted items for Druids (pre-raiding that is):

What I do find that there is a lot of expertise rating going around as well, is it really that good for Druids or is this more a stat for Rogues? I mean for Druids it only creased the chance to be dodged or parried and I already hardly notice I get that...

I seem to remember having read that expertise was not something a Druid has to aim for. But consider it something that comes and goes with gear.

Stam and agi are def the stats to aim for.
Additional armor is out of the question now, since its looking like they will add another 60% bonus to SotF to combat the change of removing bear armor bonus on additional armor.
Next is dodge rating, then some hit/exper is always a nice addition, both of which are good for tanking. Both hit/exper are alot easier to come by now since a high percentage of our loot will now be shared with rogue stuff.
Def is indeed a stat thats not needed anymore, but u will still gain a little advantage from it.
Also start to ignore Feral attack power and armor on weapons since both of these are going to be removed. May mean that some of the hunter aimed staffs or 2hand maces become pretty dam nice (im sure the DK's will love that
)
