I've done like 6 or 7 instance runs with Mojorising yesterday and the day before yesterday (Ramparts, Blood Furnace, The Underbog, Slave Pens) and I'm amazed by druid tanking abilities. We were all level 62. I pulled aggro from the boss maybe once or twice - and it was only at the moment when I said to myself "damn is it even possible?" and nuked him with fireball, pom pyro and fireblast crits.

Why is durid tanking so good and why do they keep aggro even with 2 fire mages? Is it because they can do decent DPS while tanking?

Namino beat me in dmg done in Blood Furnace yesterday

Shadowkami · 2007-01-18 15:03:43

Thats so wrong

skinning knives are NOT good for DW

durid = awesoem for tank, durid can meowmeow to but rouge beet meow durid in dps

He was a MT of course, right?

IMO, let Majo tank Patchwerk. He's gotten some good blue drops yesterday, as all our runs were feral-loot runs

Windir · 2007-01-18 15:23:50

he went cat and bear depending the situation... however I did fall asleep at times but still no excuse for only doing 34% of the dmg while Eni did 44%

I bet it does. It`s kinda justified that druids, who`ve been cake in pvp for quite a while, are now (a bit) overpowered.

Pustbunker · 2007-01-18 16:00:17

They always were overpowered (if played right)

Enimusha · 2007-01-18 20:15:49

Yeah, druid tanking is just too sweet. You can go all dps feral gear and get enough armor for any boss and still do insane amounts of damage. I'm seriously thinking of rerolling since my druid is almost out dpsing my mage.

And, tanks are always needed. But i sense a nerf incomming...

Aye...

Ok heres what i think. In raids and endgame TBC, warriors will still have to tank the bosses, but as of now, the druids are better tanks in 5 mans and such. The war still has more survivabillety in long fights, but is better suited as dps/off-tank in 5 mans. My impression so far atleast. Full prot may be better again, but. .. well i dont know. Who whould do that to themselves?

I think its cool to mix it up a bit. Let the druids get some cred for the gj tanking. Im just trying to find out how things work for my class in tbc so far. Found out that im going for a 0/40/21 build that lets me DW, 2h fury, tank(hopefully), and NOT DIE Last stand has been a real life saver when soloing let me tell you. Cant wait for concussius

xzar · 2007-01-18 21:01:29

Aren't you warriors still better at keeping threat on multiple mobs?

(especially after the changes to swipe)

I don't see any differences. I was in BF yesterday, first with a druid tank, then with a warrior. I totally preffer the second option, they really hold aggro better.

Mojorising · 2007-01-19 13:44:18

swipe here and there.. you hit 3 mobs every time its ready (instant ftw) for between 400 and 500 (and yes, my swipe does that kind of dmg now).
While that you cycle mangle and growl between the 3.
Works like a charm and gets you high on dmg meters too

xzar · 2007-01-19 14:04:17

That's some sick swipe damage

I think my swipes are about 100-200 on normal hits (I have ~1000 AP). But I'm only lvl59 so I probably need some more ranks on top of more AP.

Any chances to see you around on a warlock? I'd like to make a 5-men instance with a lock

xzar · 2007-01-19 14:49:49

Hehe, well I certainly will be on the warlock eventually. But I'll probably wait a little until the new areas are less crowded so that I don't have to compete with 10-20 other people at mob respawn points

Apox · 2007-01-19 14:50:41

Let me see if I got this right... Blizzard though Crusader Strike on a 6sec cooldown was too much for a class with plate and healing. Ok.
But Mangle, which does even more dmg than CS, has a 6sec CD (bear) and 4sec CD (counting energy regen in cat) is ok for a class that has even better healing, and way more armor than plate.
Blizzard logic is a nice car.

Druids will get a huge nerf soon. You shouldn't outdmg rogues, outheal priests and outtank warriors. It's just not how this game is supposed to work.

Stormstrike has a 10 second cd and they (we / shamans) cope with it. Suck it up and go level.
