I didn't think much about druids as full blown MTs until today because I thought the gear difference between bears and warriors was too big, now I think different. Crushing blows weren't that much of a problem as I thought they would be, peak damage was still way unter that of the warriors. Both I and the warrior tanks have full T6 with pretty much everything except the way too rare Shadowmoon Insigna. If it weren't for encounters like Illidan or Kael would druid MTs be more common? |
That's some amazing avoidance but it seems the max ilotp heal is 762, which means your max hp was 19050 and your highest hit taken was 10006. From a healing point of view I really wouldn't want my main tank to be someone capable to dying in 2 swings from max hp.
I haven't tanked Teron myself and I'd be interested to see how things would go, but in general I feel warriors have scaled up a lot better than feral druids as gear has improved. We mostly used 4 tanks for t5 content and 3 for t6 and it seems that in losing a tank spot we lost a feral druid raidspot but I really find it hard to make a case for running with 2 ferals/ 1 prot rather than the opposite.
