I think every time I post in this thread I'm just gonna add the following at the bottom:
(The author of this bear thread is awol and not updating)
hmm..not sure if thats right, i was gemmed +stam all the way and forged to dodge...after downing atramedes10hc and checking wol i saw i had ~7.5k dps (ranked..~90 i think)..where as #1 had 14k!...checked his armory..he was exp/hit capped, agi gemmed (which actually is recommended by rawr/ej once ur fullepic)...well after regemming it came down to the forging...after checking wol again i saw he had a ~55% uptime for savage defense..vs my ~28% -> i hit/exp capped...seeing as i only lost like ~2% dodge and 3.5mastery for ~twice the uptime on savage defense i THINK its a good way to roll...eventho i havent raided with this setup yet..but will raid in a couple of hours.
will see how it works :X...
(btw numbers are from the top of my head..but im pretty sure im almost accurat!
/e: he had agi trinkets (halfus hc+valor trinket) ..so a pretty small hp pool which was the only thing that actually concerned me :|
Hey Guys,
I recently decided to start tanking as a druid. This thread has helped me hugely. NOW here comes what I want to make sure....expertise has me slightly confused. It says I have 200 expertise rating (but only 6 expertise). I just want to make sure I am soft capped upon this details?
Regards,

I guess they're waiting for a replacement
Here's my bear guide in priority order:
1.get 160k health in bear form buffed
2.gem stuff with agi, but get socket bonuses. use austere meta.
3.take highest ilvl agi leather gear you can get, but look for crit mastery and reforge crit to dodge
4.mangle lacerate pulverize on 3 lacerate (randomly mashing face on keyboard after first mangle hits also works out)
5.you don't need hit or expertise, but you can get it if you want it. I don't really care.

Can I "lol" at this?1.get 160k health in bear form buffed
Only if we're talking about heroic raids. I have 165k and it's perfectly adequate for me to be the off tank on reg fights that need 3 tanks (Maloriak, Halfus, Cho'Gall). In fact, of all our tanks I'm the most stable-damage-throughput one, unless it works out that I have to tank whelps on Halfus then I'm hurting pretty bad, but that's more a result of poor druid AOE tanking in general and not my survivability.
i hope ur talking 25man...bc 2 tanks is fine in 10 (idk why im bothering asking tho).....but 160-170k is good HP, depending on the fight. Fights like omno, val/thera, council (magic dmg), having little more HP/absorb trinkets is pro (mirror from TB). On fights like Halfus, Magmaw, Maloriak(adds), Chogall, where ur taking a lot of physical dmg, little less HP and more avoidance is better.
Like you Stevo, i take much less dmg then the OT is my group (DK or Pallys), and they have 25k+ more HP then me.
I refer to regular, I assume that someone doin heroic modes would use some more advanced theory crafting tools and/or figure out for themselves how much health is needed. I *think* I sit at 165 or so buffed and haven't run into problems outside of healers petering out due to raid screwups.
