i did not know this. thanks for the tip! :-)

Hi I have a question. I needed to clear somthing up. What stats are most important for feral tanking from 1 to 5? I had an argument with a DK the other day about it and he has never rolled a druid But says strength means nothing to feral tanking and i have to highly disagree with him on that. But wanted to double check what are the important stats for feral tanking i thought they where
1. strength
2. Stam
3. Dodge
4. agility
Now if i'm wrong please let me know

Thanks Unsure

I don't quite know where to begin on this, but depending on the fight your top stats would be Stam, Agil, Armor, Dodge. Strength does almost nothing for you, except an increase in threat generation and a small amount in the amount SD absorbs. If Str was so important to tanking, wouldn't you see it on our gear?

There are many great introductory guides out there for tanking, I would highly recommend you read one as you seem to have little idea how feral tanking works.

ya i dropped alchy for LW, so i'm JC/LW now, it made the difference last night that we needed for our 1st anub 25 man heroic kill.

@laurapfaff Gem/chant for stam/agi never dodge or str figure out how much stam u need for the level on instances you're running and keep that number, after that agi is a good rule of thumb

Hey, I had a level 66 Hunter for a while but I got bored of him and levelled another character. This was pre-3.2 and now I wanna make this Hunter go the last mile and hit 80. My spec would be outdated so has anyone got a good BM levelling spec? I have a Devilsaur as a pet as well.

Cheers

Iru · 10/27/09, 7:03 PM

At level 66, I'd suggest something like this build, ditch the devilsaur and use a bear with this build as a pet. The focus of both builds is pet survivability which lets you multi-pull, solo elites above your level and generally have the pet do all the work for you. Finish building out the BM tree as you level up and then swap to something else at 80.

Alternately, go 51pts into BM and use this spec for your bear - there's a floating point that can go into Silverback or Wild Hunt. Build out the MM tree till you can get to GttF as you level and fill in Wild Hunt and Silverback as your pet does.

Hi,

I have 4/5 t8.5 pieces and I love its bonus of each tick of deadly poison and rupture can be critical.

When I saw the t9 bonuses I got bit disappointed, are they really efficient? What's the chance of rupture procs on energy costs?

I'm asking that because when I am at a Onyxia fight, for example, during the whelps incoming I can spam FoK really aggressive because there are so many mobs being hit by the first tick of deadly that my energy goes full for all the whelp time, almost better than adrenaline rush making me hit 13k dps (aoe of course, and BTW I am assassination).

should I replace it anyway for a t9?

thanks

Ignore our other retarded attempts, just in light of the latest discussion in this thread I thought this was an amusing moment to show.

Should have saved up that Adrenaline Rush and try breaking the 100,000 DPS barrier!

I'm sure its somewhere, but haven't seen it. what is the crit cap?

Bobskeh · 10/28/09, 4:18 AM

What is the minimum gear I should have before starting Heroics? I have just reached 80 and finding it hard to locate decent gear to do anything. Everytime I get into a raid they tell me my gear isnt good enuff lol so just wondering what the minimum rated gear I should have before I can get into these?

[EDIT] Im going for a Frost tank/Unholy DPS setup, But mainly want to use this toon as a dedicated Tank.

A tank with 18k health can tank heroics without problems. Just make sure you are hitcapped, and in a short period of time your gear will increase.

However, we are pretty late in the expansion, and people are getting used to tanks having 35k+ health unbuffed, and expect tanks for heroics to have that much stamina.

I don't know your tank equio because you seem to have your off-equip equipped in the armory, but there are several options for you:

a) Run heroics as DPS to get better tank gear
b) Find a healer that is willing to run with you through a couple of heroics
c) Get yourself gear from the Argent tournament. The weapon for 25 argent tournament emblems is a good starting weapon.
d) Buy item level 200 epic tank gear from the auction house. Most of the time it is cheaper to buy the mats and search for someone willing to

Crit cap is gear dependent. Aldriana's spreadsheet will tell you what your crit cap is.
