your +10% defence stance damage reduction dosnt stack with the 64%.
It works after you take damage as i had posted before
Anyway its still a respectfull amount of damage reduction
, if i could just get my hands on some decent ferial items (bwl chest/boots, Aq head/gloves, Green dragon legs) then id probibly have a good bit over 70% damage reduction
.
And alltho u get less % damage reuction per armour the more you have.. its actualy worth more, going from 98% reduction to 99% is 1/2 damage
(u cant get that high tho
)
erm druids arnt realy unblanaced.. we arnt true hybrids (even blizzard said so). We have the "ability" to do 3 roll's and be just as powerfull as the true class but with less versatility.
If you look at this...
Tanking... we take damage and deal agro in a diff way than warriors and we have less tool's, but in thay way we dose thes things and how our tool's work meen that we can be just as good (and better/worce in some places) as a warrior.
Dps.. we might beable to reach the dps of a rouge (maby not bwl/aq rogues because of scaling problems again) but we dont have the other nice tricks a rogue has/can get. vanish, blind, sap, bladefury blabla.
Healing.. again we might beable to heal just as well as a preist/shamen but we also lack tool's to, no ooc rez, no flash heal, no sheilds.
And to do any of the 3 above like a real class it meen's we have to spec and gear ourselfs for that roll, we cant do all 3 at the same time, we cant swap armour mid fight.. we get no CC or speed boost indoors (only class that gets nerfed when thay go inside).. and we cant use items/trinkets in our form's.
So what if a druid can tank just as good as a warrior.. a warrior can dps just as good as a rogue.. is that fair? should a class with tones of HP and armour beable to substain such a high dps with all that surviabilty?
Mages/rogues/cat druids/blabla can all die in a split second but warriors can practicly tank/offtank while pulling out insane damage.
Blizzard didnt give any one class the sole right to any roll in this game, because doing so could make one class have more power over another(has happend in other mmorpgs). If you take a look at druid bear form you will realise it is desgined purly for one thing.. tanking.
Why else would i get insane armour/hp?, why else would i have 2 taunts, AoE ap debuf, range agro pull and two insanly good agroo toll's and a charge function?
If it was desgined to attack i would have stuff like execute/overpower blabla not tanking ability's
If u sit down.. look at how monsters do damage, how warriors/druid differ in ways to take damage and did a simple bit of math's you would soon see that one has advanrages over others in certan encounters
.
Btw tical if a ferial druid dose nothing for the guild then plz exsplane why im one of the most helpfull guys in my guild?
1) i can tank, i do lots of 5man runs to help ppl and smaller raid's, i can even main tank zulg/mc atm and maby soon most parts of bwl if needed.
2) i can dps in any instance (unless its something i cant get close to)
3) i can heal in any instance atm.. 400+healing wiht 6k manna (2bits of mc gear)
I also give my guild options to make certan encounters easyer.. like the spider boss and fish boss in zulg and there will probibly be alot more... need 2 tanks on 1 boss? np i can dps like mad, need the 3rd back np i can do that to.. need just a little bit extra healing? np.
A properly geard ferial druid (need lots of diff armour, i have no bag space tbh) is probibly the most usfull class in the game.. and thats great for me cuz all i like to do is help ppl.
