Defensives that are part of rotation will auto, major defensives like Barkskin will not. Those should be used as needed, unlike Ironfur which are part of the rotation.
im running this at 150 MS still barely popping off iron fur . not really sure as to what i may be doing wrong
I haven’t been playing bear tank in a while. I’ll add it to the list of things I need to revisit. Warrior and Hunter are in front of it, but I’ll get to it when I can.
I was asked by a patreon to update this for S2 and 1.6 is what I came up with. I was able to get 98% of sim for DPS output, and par for uptime on this like Ironfur. Please let me know how the update works for you.
ho orb and thank for update do we use the the talents in the normal post thanks
Yes, use the talents I put in the original post. Please let me know how it works for you and if I need to tweak it any. I don’t normally play druid so I was doing my best guess based on sims and guides.
Here I go again. =) haha Back to druid since I keep capping Guilded on pally. Will update.
One I used previously I had to immediately stop bc it kept using Frenzied in the rotation. Fingers crossed this doesn’t!
Druid is not my best class, I played it a little bit but I’m still learning the intricacies. I don’t put any defenses with long cooldowns in, only DPS items and I’m making a modified version for raids that’ll also do feral leaving.
The only thing I am noticing. Is that it used to be you wanted to have 3+ stacks of ironfur at all times , Again use to. No idea anymore personally. I liked pally too much haha, I am lucky atm to have 2 currently (could be ilvl, just started this one now that I am Guilded capped on Pally). LFR just now I had 0 for a about 1 min. Still testing though. (I also use to play Elunes Chosen not Claw. Even though Claw was the most played. I had more success in the macros with Elunes last season and loved it) Drud and Pally always been my two main tanks. Never did War to cap. Thanks again for all the work you put into these.
EDIT * Looks like on talents Elune is the M+ talent preferred.
Edit 2 lol… I tested just the talents for M+ elunes and this is pumping still! Now to test in that in LFR last boss real quick. I did remove a lot of Maul and replaced with Ironfur.
I think Orb was making a raid build
I’ll do my best. I need a break from paladin.
I’m going to work on druid this week. My goal is a viable raid spec that comes close to the DPS output and ironfur uptimes expected. It’s taking a lot of research on my part since I don’t normally play this class.
I ain’t a pro nor do I know 100% anymore haha I swapped to pally again fully but yeah. Got bored and also over my HP bouncing so much.
For Druid (Been what I played most of wow life probably tank and heals) Not heals this expansion AT ALL!
I just know, I use to have the Maul on manual so if it would proc for free then I can use it. So it does not waste the defensive rage I need to stay alive.
Raid Council is also Elune.
I used the Mythic + build inside of Raid last season with guild. Again, these are probably more personal preferences is all. It worked well in that spec for us.
With this, I just was not proccing ironfur 100%. it fell off more than not it felt like. Again could be me pressing. but set to 100ms also. So I do not know.
(Only providing my own experience, not a pro, just a casual. And every macro you have done like previously stated is AMAZING!)
Survivability over DPS with Druid Tank is how I always played it out and it always worked out. But Obviously trying to max dps at the same time but not waste resources also.
Sim said I should have around 65% uptime and I have around 80 to 85% of the time, should I be shooting for 100% uptime?
I could be entirely wrong and most likely am. Just how I use to play. =) I would go with the popular for the purpose of macro I would think? And also never knew Claw. only played Elune since these were implemented. Felt less squishy in my brain.
EDIT
I would say honestly think of rage management like warr I believe? War uses on defenses a lot no? or is rage mostly for dps? I dont know. (obviously dmg and dmg taken increases rage too) I only tried on a target dummy. Let me go reset and retry in a low key
Trying out the cat weaving in between due to the feline tendencies .
My first attempt at adding Weaving in. Please see the OP.
working good for me thanks orbs cant wait for u to start on feral whoop whoop
I may get around to updating Feral in a bit after I fix an issue with fury and solve the pally problem.
Will run in Normal tonight (In about 30 min start time), We have it on farm but using for base mechanics till we clear no wipes haha. We are close. so bringing Druid. Will send you the combat logs again =)
Edit, we had 3 tanks for first boss. So then I went Boomie to let others tank.
Edit Edit. One other leader is gonna tank soon, but will be testing in mythics still. Need that mythic gear from 10’s
Kitty weaving macro was amazing btw.
