woo. now if i could only find a speedpot recipe



Druids

• Bear Form now provides an armor bonus of 120% at all levels, up from 65% for characters below level 40, making it easier for lower level druids to tank dungeons.

I'm far too lazy to build pve BiS chardevs, but importing shft and wyomings (first warr I came across in prot gear), I get:



Wyomings@Arathor:

1409 hp (plus another 92 if she got AGM like shft)

1917 armor, 47.72% physical mitigation

10% mitigation from defensive stance

11.33% dodge

10.61% parry

20.00% block



Shfthappens@Blade's Edge:

1445 hp

1526 armor 42.08% physical mitigation (up from 1156, 36%)

22.12% dodge



So druids of similar gear level will still be squishier than warriors, not to mention getting less of their mitigation baseline from talents/mechanics rather than gear. Looks like a needed change to me.



Just for lulz:



Pinochet@Thunderhorn converted to ele sham, minus bow and OH, plus BFD quest shield:

1225 hp

1150 armor, 35.38% physical mitigation

21.14% dodge

5.00% parry

5.00% block



'bout the same as shft on live.
