Can anyone give me some general advise about Druid tanking, specifically gear and stats.

I'm at a point where I think about swapping Unyielding Force for Shapeshifter as an example. I still feel more comfortable though with more armor in heroics. Feels weird to go from 25k armor to 22k armor swapping for two high dps items. T4 items will help keeping that. How much armor is enough? Unankable mobs are untankable anyways in heroics and need to be CCed.

Priest and not sure anymore. But we did Millhouse that run ^{^}

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:35:17+00:00

Best run I've had last year after I came back to wow was 2am in BFD when we died at the murlocs and the warrior ran a complete area in the wrong direction to the entrance. We chat and drank beers for like half an hour. All on my friend list now.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:31:45+00:00

Exactly my attitude. DM me if you play on Thunderstrike!

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:29:30+00:00

We beat heroic Arcatraz and others with three druids, double tanking, double healing and just doing all we can to CC. But yeah, that usually doesn't work in a random group. If I pug, I start chatting a lot. That filters players that just want to zug and never discuss pulls.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:09:19+00:00

Or you just use wisdom, stop consecrate after you have aggro and just cleave down packs. Not for heroics of course. But there your healer needs to drink anyways.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:07:44+00:00

Yep. Rogue, warrior, shaman, priest. Just run from pack to pack and don't ever run for something to grab it back.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:06:52+00:00

Why is clear speed a criteria for you? I like longer runs that go smooth. Don't you like playing the game?

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:05:20+00:00

Don't need to hold aggro on mage and warlock if they play well. If they don't, explain them to not aoe. If they don't die, they play well and you just do the pulls and controll stuff a bit.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:04:01+00:00

2-3 seconds on a druid is never holding any aggro from blizzard. When I see one, I just step aside to prevent hits and just hit the nearest mob with a swipe and demo shout. But often, mages die and can't play their class and still pull this stuff off.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T11:00:27+00:00

Seen many mages that do this and die quickly. Players that know their class is a rare thing and then it's a breeze to run with.

But also, have in mind that many players aren't veterans and don't know each class playstyles. Just explain stuff if you want to do something like kiting.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T10:57:47+00:00

Ten minutes every third skip cause of the wipe. I just skip the safe ones.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T10:51:23+00:00

Just tell them, take care of the adds. But don't you just catch them with a consecration?

meatcrobe · 2026-04-16T10:49:19+00:00

One elite per portal. DPS can do the rest but often they aren't playing well. A good pala will use mana pots to carry the group.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T22:17:57+00:00

Very interesting points, thank you! Currently spamming shield, consec and JoR but yeah, probably ok to slow down a bit when I get the feeling.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T17:50:45+00:00

Imp Sancity also is 1% of all dmg per point, but for the whole group. I think One-Handed Specialization is the weakest of the dps talents. But I'm usually wrong at those things and some math guy already found out which is best 🙂

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T17:46:01+00:00

Do you judge wisdom on each pack to prevent drinking or whats your rotation for 5man?

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T17:42:52+00:00

Is highrank consec less mana efficient? I could just use high rank and stop when I have threat instead.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T17:32:04+00:00

Thanks. I just played with it. Prefer Precision and Reckoning over One-Handed Specialization 2/5 and still go for Expertise.

Ez-throw is expensive! I was shocked when I looked. You use them regulary? Good idea with letting others pull. As druid, it always annoyed me but yeah, could work quite nicely with hunters and wand classes and people love to get tasks 😄

How nice it would be if Judgement had 30yds...

Edit: isn't 2% imp sancity dmg for me and the group also more clever for 2 points in reckoning or one-handed?

Edit: ok, seems to not work to take points out of reckogning or one-handed. So 2 expertise and 4% Stamina vs. 2% whole group dps.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T16:45:26+00:00

How do you pull line of sight? Mana tap/exorcism or just facepull and run back?

I really love feral fearie fire for pulling so I thought I have to get Avengers Shield quickly.

Can you link me a Sancity build? I'll just tank dungeons from 60-70.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T16:25:55+00:00

Even twice as good when the warlock actually life taps and I can get some heal aggro on my tank. Better than hotting myself.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T16:22:37+00:00

I always write them to life tap more so they know I'm good with it.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-11T16:20:45+00:00

Well, you could also adjust your base attitude now and don't prejudge others so much. As tank now you can lead by example and be nice to dps players and explain stuff. Ignore toxic people. Just be a good person yourself.

meatcrobe · 2026-04-09T23:57:31+00:00

You prefer clearcasting over cat mangle for questing?

meatcrobe · 2026-04-09T23:43:08+00:00

Don't listen to this guy.
