Bear Armor, or How to Generate as Much Threat as Possible, part II By Gimmy Vincent

 Let me start this section by stating the most important thing you need to know about druid gear: your gear should match your form.Unless you’re shifting in the middle of a fight, where you can’t switch gear, you should be changing armor every time you shapeshift.Essentially there are five types of druid armor, corresponding to the five druid roles: bear, cat, healing, moonkin, and pvp.Personally I think all druids should carry three sets of gear at all times—one for bear, one for healing, and one for either cat or moonkin depending on spec (yes, that means your bags are perpetually full.Deal with it).Even if you don’t carry your gear with you all the time, though, you should have different armor for different forms as soon as druid gear starts to differentiate (which is around the 40s).Speaking personally I strongly recommend carrying all three sets of gear any time you enter an instance.Druids are not true hybrids; shapeshifting is not enough to shift your role in the party.aion gold
    

The reason for this is that each of your forms emphasizes a different set of stats.If you build your bear set like you’re going to be healing in it, don’t be surprised if you can’t tank anything.If you build your cat set like you’re tanking, don’t be surprised if your dps is terrible (incidentally, if you build your cat set like you’re playing a rogue, don’t be surprised if your dps is terrible either.Cats—particularly non-feral cats—are a strength- and AP-based class, not an agility-based class).If you try to heal in your bear armor, don’t be surprised if you have no mana.
    

So what stats should bear armor emphasize.2GB MP3 PLAYER
    Depends on whether you’re specced feral or not.All bears need to pile on strength and attack power.Even warriors need to pay attention to their dps in order to really tank effectively, and bears have even fewer pure threat attacks than warriors—hence, they need to pay even more attention to their dps.Strength and attack power are a must for an effective set of bear armor.For non-feral druids, 1% hit and 1% crit are essentially equivalent (each adds 1% to your dps), until you get to level 66 and get lacerate.At that point you should invest in a +5% hit chance, since lacerate (like sunder armor) can’t crit, but it can miss.Agility is good for a generic bear but should be considered a secondary stat.
