We all need them, we don't particularly like them, but we can't survive without them, yes I am of course talking about tanks.
With the latest patch different tanks have had different boost and nerfs, but now it seems the druid tanks are having some issues. Wanting to check just how bad this is I decided to gear up my druid's tanking gear and give it a go. Having said this I have never tanked with a druid before, but with all the other classes so the only new thing to me was the whole spell and bear thing.
I must say, after doing a lot of reading and speccing and gemming and lining my spells up and decided to go for a Cataclysm normal dungeon to start me up nice and easy. Turns out, aggro is a bitch! I might add that my group consisted of a warlock, death knight and a feral druid with a priest healer, all of them geared for raiding, I had some issues with the warlock and death knight and occasionally druid. So basically all of them!
I have not got the best gear in the world, it is not all ilvl 397 as it could be, but it will get there eventually, i.e. later this week to see if that makes a massive difference or if the druids are just losing the ability to tank. I will try and get some heroics to tank with a few friends that can keep the dps up and challenge me.
I have also got this druid geared up perfectly in healing gear to get healing the DS 10 raids, I must say the mana regen is the worst for druids, but hopefully that will be sorted with even better gear and weekly runs of DS 10 mixed with some heroic bosses.
But this is a post about tanking, so what do you think about the tanking after the patch? Have you experienced that well-geared tanks are losing aggro or are you a tank that just are having issues? Let me know!
