[ivorbigun20]

hey epic choice in music btw :P

what should i gem as a bear i keep getting told different thing :S help?

[connorkwl]

Jenifyer you're an awsome Druid Tank, does it take long to pick up on how to do it? cause it looks quite difficult, i'm only used to DK tanking :)

[jenifyer]

@connorkwl

Knowing the placement of the bosses is crucial on this fight. Especially on the worms. They burrow and you need to pick up the correct worm and be prepared to face it away from the raid. Watching this video will give you a good idea of where you should be tanking mobs. When tanking the worms, I suggest following the trail it makes when it burrows, then growl when it emerges.

[connorkwl]

@jenifyer Ok thanks :]

I absolutely cant stand druid tanking, I dont know why I found myself on this video. I only really like to warrior tank, but I must say...Nice choice in music.

@terrylz

You should ALWAYS check the video notes. That would have saved you some time.

It's called Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold.

[Lindstrom18]

[slappydrew]

@Lindstrom18 The charge is called Feral Charge, to taunt in bear form use Growl.

How much Hp and dodge do I need to do toc 10 ?

[jenifyer]

@ThunderingAlliance

30k HP is about the minimum for ToC 10m. Dodge should be at 35% or so.

Don't stack your dodge past 40%. You can only dodge 3 attacks in a row before getting hit. Thus, it is not worth getting more dodge than 40% I am at 46.54% as a 5900 GS tank. This is an excess, but it comes in Druid gear. You shouldn't have to worry about dodge at all as a Druid. : )

@jenifyer Thnx =D

BA SONG

[drewsin9]

Hiya, I've been having a little bit of trouble here. I can tank all of the other bosses fine, but after the OT taunts off of me, gets his 3 stacks and mine fall off, I have an extremely difficult time taunting back off of him. At one point, he actually had 5 stacks before I was able to get aggro.

After he gets aggro, I wait a few seconds then start building lacerate stacks, and i've had to taunt 3 times before to get him off. The other tank is a paladin btw, using righteous defense.

[jenifyer]

Keep your stacks up. If he is holding that much aggro, then don't worry about your stacks falling off and stopping your DPS. Continue your rotation when he taunts, but allow your aggro to drop a percent or two below his. Your taunt will make up the difference to enable you to hold aggro. I hope this helps.

[drewsin9]

That helped! Haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but hopefully this week I'll give it a shot. Thanks =D
