WOW Gold: Gearing Up the Druid II

To get WOW Gold, let’s look at the items and item types you will want to pick up by spec and level range.

Feral DPS
Priorities: Strength, Agility, Stamina
Secondary Priorities: Haste, Expertise, Armor Penetration

Players who choose this spec will be gearing themselves much in the same way as rogues and will compete with them for most of all their gear. The preferred stats of the feral druid are strength, agility and stamina. The secondary bonuses you will look for are attack power, critical strike and hit rating. Remember when evaluating different items (we provide players Cheap WOW Gold to buy items) that base stats will multiply with buffs while ratings will not, this can make the difference between two items many times. There are a couple of other stats you will see on items that feral druids may desire and they are haste, expertise and armor penetration. Each of these stats is beneficial, however, they get a lower priority based on benefit and I listed them in order of priority. One thing of which to be considerate is assessing your own needs based on what you have to wear at the time. I would recommend using one of the many calculators available to achieve that balance.

Feral DPS weapons will primarily be staves until patch 3.08 goes live and after that polearms will be added into the equation. Always remember that with any weapon used in a shapeshifted form, the DPS of the weapon is irrelevant and the stats are what to evaluate. You also can buy items through World of Warcraft Gold.

Feral Tanks
Priorities: Agility, Stamina
Secondary Priorities: Dodge, Defense Rating, Hit, Expertise

Druid tanks will want to focus on agility and stamina. Agility is the top base stat for feral tanks as it gives three separate benefits in the forms of armor class, critical attack percentage and dodge.  Tank druids’ number one non base stat concern should be armor. The armor multipliers have changed in Wrath of the Lich King, but the need for high armor has not. Point for point, AC is the top concern of the tanking druid.

Next on the list of needed stats is dodge. Avoidance is huge for all tanks and the druid is no exception. The only downside to dodge is that once you have achieved a 50% dodge rating you will begin to see diminished returns. It is good to WOW Power Leveling.

Defense rating is next up for the tank (so many stats, so little item slots). While this used to be one of the premier stats for feral tanks, changes to the ‘survival of the fittest’ talent have moved it down a few notches. Pre-WotLK you needed 415 defense with the talent or 475 without it to render yourself immune to critical strikes. Post-expansion, the talent when maxed at 3 points does this for you, however defense rating is still needed and can be most beneficial to stack once you achieve 50% in dodge as it does not have diminished returns. Hit and expertise ratings will also help, as will crit, as they all contribute to your DPS which in turn helps you keep your threat generation high. Haste is nearly meaningless to a bear as it doesn’t affect your main tanking abilities. Feral tank weapons will also continue to be staves; no other weapon in the game is as well itemized to help the feral druid. (Best WOW Gold is here)

Balance Druids
Priorities: Intellect, Hit, Spell Haste, Spell Crit

The boomkin druid will look towards intellect gear like all other casters, and will find both leather and cloth very beneficial. Some snobs will tell you that cloth is terrible but pay them no mind; wear what is best. You also get a nice armor multiplier in moonkin form that increases that cloth to proper AC levels….but if your tanking in moonkin form you have much bigger problems than your gear. The main stats in order of importance to you will be hit, spell damage, spell haste, spell crit. These stats are wildly contested by the druid community but updates to talents from WotLK have radically changed the way balance druids will want to gear themselves. Boomchickens will find both staves and one handed daggers, maces and off hand combos throughout the game that will be beneficial.
