Shifting Perspectives: Reforging guardian druids for dummies (or better yet, crit)
Every week, WoW Insider brings you Shifting Perspectives for cat, bear, restoration and balance druids. This Tuesday, a cheerful question-and-answer session comes to a screeching halt. The following is a partial transcript of questions I have received ingame or via email since the launch of Mists of Pandaria, accompanied by their answers: What's the hit cap for bear tanks now? Versus a level 93 raid boss, it's 2,550, or 7.5%. If you're only running heroics, it's 2,040, or 6%. Thanks, Arielle! What the hell is going on with resto in raids? I don't know, but I suspect it's a version of the problem that plagued resto in the early days of Cataclysm. More on this next week when I've looked at more World of Logs parses. In the meantime, don't forget that other healers' (cough, monks) being overpowered renders us underpowered only by comparison. Do I need to worry about the "hard" expertise cap? Eh. It should be fairly easy to reach the soft cap (or get close to it) once you're sitting on heroic-level gear. After that, whatever expertise you get up to the hard cap is gravy, because if your rage income is enough to keep Savage Defense at maximum uptime, additional expertise won't really have a serious impact on your survivability. How do you get blood out of a shirt? Hydrogen peroxide. (From my raid leader) When will our scrub-ass warlock get to 90 so we can raid? I don't know, sir. And the last: How should I reforge my bear tank? (Fidgets.) Uh, well ...
