Druids are feared because they dont wear plate, dont have a weapon, and no shield but still cause mayham. Even with the nerfs we still make it through. Druids used to have the most Stam by a long shot.. not anymore.... used to have the most armor.... not anymore... Give me a shield or something and the Lich King will cry.

Even more delicious? The fact that if I am DPSing in my kitty gear and a tank goes down, I am still a dang good tank. No more cries of "Big heals on Phae -- she's in kitty gear". Seriously....we're the best dang OT ever....I LOVE it! That meta gem is delicous. Even more delicious? The fact that if I am DPSing in my kitty gear and a tank goes down, I am still a dang good tank.

I have trouble seeing how the 2% armor is better, especially in Naxx. What are others' thoughts?

This, and other information like it, that I don't have time to find myself, has made your blog a must-read for me. Your writings have been invaluable in helping me learn to tank and work my way through the beginnings of WotLK. So, thanks, very much, and, please, keep it up! Btw, gl on finding work, too.

It was a really nice surprise after the change when testing my rings and weapon that that 2% extra was there for those items, too. Sure, it may not be much compared to 30k, but an extra several hundred armor is nothing to ignore. Glad I could help!
