Tanking Classes Compilation for WotLK - Last update 17 OCT

[Selinaria]

New feral druid talent for bears that will help them out for mitigation.

Mother Bear: Increases the attack power bonus of Bear Form and Dire Bear Form by an additional 20/40/60%, and for each friendly player in the party, damage you take while in Bear Form and Dire Bear Form is reduced by 1/2/3%

Added to the blizzard calculator just today.

So... 12% DR for both physical and spell. Interesting.

-- also I see Natural Reaction... 6% more dodge and 3 rage on a dodge in bear form only for both effects.

[Worldie]

That makes for... 12% damage reduction, wtf, higher than both paladin and warriors?

That would however make up for the 0 increased armor on their gear.

[Selinaria]

That's the way I see it Worldie, they won't have quite as high an armor total so this makes up for it. Although it does give them a pretty high passive reduction against magic too.

Also another talent I missed that was added today, 2 tiers above Mother Bear.

Natural Reaction: Increases your dodge while in Bear Form and Dire Bear Form by2/4/6%, and you regenerate 1/2/3 rage everytime you dodge in Bear Form or Dire Bear Form.

Now with the newest change for Warriors announced:

# Enraged Assault redesigned, now Enraged Regeneration: You regenerate 30% of your total health over 10 sec. This ability consumes all Enrage effects and prevents any from affecting you for the full duration. Must be enraged to use. Cost 15 rage, 3 min cooldown.

Am I right to suppose that now the only tanking class that is unable to heal themselves as MT, without trinket/pot/stone use, is the Paladin ??

Now that sounds a bit contrary to lore, but well ... at least we can heal much better when nobody attacks us

We get a full health bar plus mana every 20 minutes now. *shrug*

[Andox]

Well, that is pretty much sucky. Warriors get enrage from Def stance, right?

Imp defensive stance gives them enrage whenever they DPB. With a 12 sec duration, that should be up the large majority of the time.

I was pretty amazed by this until I saw the cooldown. It's ok... I'm sure the dps warriors would've preferred the previous version.

I just noticed that all of the sudden the Shield of Righteousness tooltip reads:

Slam the target with your shield, causing Holy damage equal to 230% of your block value. This spell causes a high amount of threat.

When was that changed?

I think that's a tooltip bug related to taking shield spec. Kind of like how imp. vampiric embrace used to increase the numbers in the frozen shadowweave set bonus.

edit: nvm, aparently shield of the templar changes the tooltip. Guess I should have checked first.

I'm frankly confused on how you wrote the seal scalings. Maybe there's a better format to display it?

[Base]

Don't think this has been mentioned yet, but warriors are now getting a talented kind of Ret Aura reflecting 20% of shield block value on hit or block:

A interesting information, HotR is atm usable while silenced.

Might want to update to say that HoTR has been normalized so whether the weapon is slow or fast, it's the dps and attack power that matters.
