Gearing a Tank
I'm gearing my druid and I realized just how different Bear Tanks need to gear relative to my Paladin Tank. So I have some general questions. I did read the sticky, but want to clarify....
1. Is tank gear the same as Melee gear... just Gem'd and Enchanted differently? Heck the T9 gear is the same...
2. As a paly I need to consider each piece (Does it drop me below Def value of 540). It seems like all I need is an item with more Stamina and more Agility... Is there something I'm missing here?
3. What are the stats needed to start heroics. As a Paly it was such a big deal to get I feel like this whole thing took about 3 seconds...
4. Should I gem for Agility or rely just on gear? (As a paly it was alway Def Cap, then Stamina, then Block Cap, then threat)
5. Are the LW pieces worth my time? As a paly the BS stuff was very helpful to reach Def Cap and get enough STA to avoid getting 1 or 2 shot...
Thanks
-Most things you worry about never happen anyway.Without trying to be mean...but how did you get all the way to level 61 without knowing one of the most basic mechanics of this game?
I suggest you read up a little more about the basics, it will help you make good gear and talent choices along with making any group experiences a little more enjoyable as you will probably perform better.

I suggest turning off that "not enough energy" warning, you're going to hear it a lot as you get higher levels Smiley: tongue
Yeah, well, I'm level 61.... heard it a lot!
Z-What, me worry? Me have mana!Energy is fixed and builds at its own rate. The ability cost and regeneration rate is designed specifically to force your attacks to be paced and carefully considered.

Ranawaran - WoWIs there a stat that governs the ammount of energy a Druid has? As stamina is to health, is spirit or something else linked to energy? While DPS'ing I keep hearing that depressing "Not enough energy". at least it doesn't say "Not enough energy yet, stop trying for a minute and let it rebuild!"
