With 20k+ armor and 30%+ dodge, romulo isn't dangerous to a druid tank. I'm generally sitting around 16-17k health/21-22k armor/33-35% dodge depending on what gear I'm wearing when I tank him. ...

The peices of tier 4 I already have better get changed into something useful. Either tank or dps if they're going to add another set, or tanking if they're not.

They had 16k hp and hit me for ~850-ish with 13k armor in my dps gear. We got 4 of them down before he landed on our best attempt before we gave up.

Patch is going live today, guess we'll find out first hand in karazhan tonight if druid tanks still work. I'd imagine it's going to work but be somewhat painful relearning the threat limits, and of...

Jayde, yes this is just doom and gloom speculation on druids part because it's not like the exact same thing didn't happen in WoW 1.0 or anything.

The numbers aren't directly comparable, druid tanks take damage differently.

I looked at the thread on the druid forum and their math was flat out wrong. They were using 156% + 211 rather than the actual bonus damage for bear mangle which is like 281. That 70 damage easily...

The old maul was off the chain good. With just a bit of stacked AP/crit I'd wager level 60 ferals with old maul could out-aggro 2.0 level 70 druids. Maul was that good. It's a sad shadow of it's...
