maybe not a fully geared 60 from todays times, but back in vanilla 9k is wayyyyyy more than a tank would have had waltzing into mc for the first time, and they wouldnt have had very good defense/avoidance stats until later due to poop itemization. so these 50 tanks are actually pretty well off
made a feral tank chardev thats pretty comparable to the warrior one; more avoidance and armor with slightly less hp (not too bad considering the hp advantage a gnome gets from engineering trinks). at the very least it might be a viable off tank just to bring mark of the wild (
chardev 9). was gonna make a feral dps one, but it would be shit without rip and key talents.
also made a resto druid chardev if you didnt want a bear tank but still wanted mark -
chardev 9
focused on getting enough haste to get an extra wild growth and rejuv tick, then stacked int/spirit for regen; crit was just gravy. not sure what a good lvl of regen is, but it seems ok + a large mana pool
thinking about trying to throw a ret or prot paladin chardev together too just to see how they stack up, draenei for free hit
ps i can squeeze almost 9500hp out of your gnome tank by using 1st sergeants bracers and golem-smasher gloves. gives up a bit of hit/avoidance, but figured id let you know if you wanted to absolutely stam stack. might be some other tweaks too
