I have been looking for something fun to do with my druid, but healing just isn't as fun as it used to be. I still want some way to gear her up, have fun and really enjoy what I'm doing. I have been resto and balance ever since I made my druid, so tanking will be a huge difference in play style. I have a few questions for the more experienced bear (feral) tanks, so I know where to start and whether this change is worth it.
1: Do YOU enjoy tanking and a bear? Is it something you will continue doing?
Yes and yes.
2: Is gear hard to obtain, especially for someone who has been playing a caster for a very long time? (I don't expect gear to be handed to me, I just want to make sure that I won't be running countless dungeons and not finding the gear I need)
no different then any other class with the exception as a tank you have instant queues to the LFD so much quicker to obtain jp and gear in general.
3: What are the flaws to bear tanking? (Do you have a hard time keeping aggro? AOE problems? Low amount of aggro spells? Ect)
none, all tank are equal in cata. As long as dps is attacking the same target you are then threat is not an issue.
4: Which gear stats should I be looking at? I'm guessing stamina, dodge rating,
maybe mastery and agility?
Dodge and then dodge, followed by dodge. Look for all agility leather gear and reforge to dodge...did I mention dodge?
5: And the wonderful rotation, is it hard to follow or is it simple? Does it require quick fingers and nimble hands?
there is no rotation in cata, its a priority system like all classes now.
Thanks to those that respond! I'm really looking forward to reading your comment and tips. Any tips, tricks and help are welcome!
go to wow forums and you can lookup the spec and all other details needed, or many other websites for that matter no sense in repeating someone else work here.
This is not a "Which class/spec should I choose" thread. I am only asking about one spec, in which I need help with.
