80 druid Question
December 18, 2008 – 10:19 pmPosted by: Asti
I’m facing a bit of a dillemma. I’ve got a level 80 druid (Feral). a 70 warlock waiting to be levelled and a fresh new Death Knight (and many many other alts which I dont feel like levelling at the moment) I’ve recently spent almost 3K Gold in new tanking gear,enchantments and gems for my druid and the following day I went a bit emo and lost interest in the druid. To make things worse Allison wrote the article about how feral druids are doing in comparison with the other in-game tanks.
Shall I just stick with my druid and hope that better days will come or shall I focus on a different character?

Just stick with your Feral Druid unless you seriously do not want to play a Druid anymore. They’re not all that bad. They’re a little trickier to use, but certainly not bad. It looks a lot worse to the people playing them than to everyone else, too. Frustrating to play? Yeah, maybe. Bad tanks? Nah.
When my 10-man is running Naxx casually, it’s pretty random who we use to tank. The Warrior? The Druid? The Death Knight? A Paladin we brought along? Doesn’t matter much, really. When we buckle down and decide to get some achievements done, our Feral Druid is front and center doing most of the tanking, because they take so very little damage.
The Momma Said Knock You Out achievement was so hilariously easy because of our Feral Druid that we’ve decided it’s easier to do the fight that way every single week instead of bothering with sacrifices. Some of our other tanks could not take a beating like that at our gear level. The Feral Druid, though? She’s barely taking any damage at all.
Swipe is probably insanely annoying to use in situations you need to generate AOE threat, and that’s a big frustration for Feral Druid players. Feral Druids still rock the house down when it comes down to picking a tank to mitigate obscene physical damage.
