Shadowlands Guardian Druid: The Invincible Progression Build

[@Drachenblut]

Enjoying this content. Starting playing a bear and am enjoying it. Also, magnificent beard!!!! I have serious beard envy.

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Max love brother! Glad to hear it was helpful and even more glad to hear another bear is out there fighting the good fight!

[@Collin4486]

That is a fantastic beard.

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Much appreciated! 💪🏾🐻

[@jvii9761]

I was trying to figure out my legendary situation last week… I ended up going with the natural order as well. There’s a bonus Use for it in PVP, when you’re a cat and go bear you can still pop in and get frenzied even though you wouldn’t have a frenzy region as a cat druid. Was a pretty touch choice over ursoc’s for sure.

[@RagingBeardedScot]

That is actually big brains plays right there. They are both extrmemely fun and have their uses no doubt. But right now I'm leaning towards NOW.

[@Wendrake9455]

This is exactly the build I have been most excited for! Best Bear coverage on KZbin, end of story 🐻

[@RagingBeardedScot]

No idea how much that means to me 💙🤘🏼🐻

Hey dude! Love the content you’re producing keep it up. Just one quick question... what’s the rage counter?

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Lol it’s something I do on stream, chat keeps track when I lose my coconuts and at 100 I usually do a give away or a charitable donation to counter the raw aggression I unleash on the cyber space.

[@RaXiR100]

this is how i imagine a guardian druid player

[@leejones9338]

Got my Sub, most guardian clips are all the same meta builds. I a fan boy of playing non-meta builds, gonna try this out today, thanks. 👍🏻

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Hell yeah! I love theory crafting and testing out new stuff, I’ve been really enjoying this build!

[@jonathon9581]

First xpac I'm playing main tank as Guardian for my guild. Really loving bear and need a good source of reliable info. I dont know how much m+ you do but would love some strat guides for bears on higher keys. 👍

[@RagingBeardedScot]

I run keys on stream pretty much every day. 12s and up really at this point but that would be the most on demand info I have right now on higher keys. My “Keystone of the Week” videos I do once a week and highlight the highest chested keystone i complete each week.

[@S_K_U_L_L_S]

Power to the Bear!

Glad i found your page bro. going to twitch now to follow 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Looking forward to visiting the stream. Appreciate you brother.

Hope the info helped and thank you so much!

[@thecanadianbox5572]

Do you happen to have a link for your UI setup/weak auras? :)

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Best way to grab that is hop into my stream at twitch.tv/ragingbeardedscot even if i'm not live and type !ui and !addons in chat

[@tyfowler3508]

Your awesome Thanks for the Help bro bro

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Not a problem!

[@johnwarner4178]

Thinking’s about going back to this build, what do you think about switch brambles for blood frenzy? And tooth and claw to tend and tear just for overall more defensiveness in aoe situations... I pug lower keys so I think helping the healer out may be critical

[@RagingBeardedScot]

I use blood frenzy for fort weeks with my ursocs fury remembered legendary. I'm not a fan of tooth and claw in any dungeons, too much RNG for my taste.

[@RagingBeardedScot]

For pugging keys, Natural Orders Will leggo will be the ideal choice in lower keys, makes you less reliant on your team/healer.

[@marcschow]

Do you have trouble keeping aggro on your Mythic dungeon runs? I feel like sometimes I loose aggro hella quick on pulls and they nuke down a team mate of mine

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Sometimes in pugs when I’m not able to communicate and they use their bigger cool downs on an opener it is very difficult. However I try to coordinate my pools around my bigger cool down so I can immediately go in there with big Thrash a potion may be in a lot of damage to help me keep threat. Also keeping up your bleeds and dots via moon fire helps a lot more than most people realize with a Guardian druids keeping threat.

[@jemmieboi3414]

Another tip is to open with thrash and swipe 3 times followed with another thrash. I'd do this initially to build good aggro before you start using mangle etc.

[@Rundvelt]

Hey, old time youtuber, my advice is to keep on truckin. The high of getting subscribers comes and goes and it's easy to lose focus. It's super easy to put out a bad video, it's super easy not to post on your schedule. Discipline and staying current with trends will be your friend. :)

[@Rundvelt]

Obv, old time youtuber not on this channel. Secrets. :)

[@RagingBeardedScot]

@@Rundvelt I appreciate it! The goal for Jan 1st was to TRY to hit 1k. When my wife woke me this morning yelling that I already hit it I knew I had to put out another video TODAY. Because nothing has changed. I put out content because I love doing it. Whether there are 3 people watching or 1,000, as long as I have the time it’ll keep rolling out and get better as I learn more. Excelsior!

[@_Snikerz]

Love your Bear 🐻 content dude! Just dinged 60 and am torn between Venthir and Nightfae.. what would you say is best? Especially if I want to multispec? I prefere the Venthir ability but hear the Nightfae is better (and thematically suits better i suppose)

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Play the covenant you feel the most drawn to. All 4 covenants have representation on the top 10 charts for m+ right now and I’d have to imagine the same data is shown for the other aspects of the game. At the end of the day you are going to play whichever one you choose better and get greater levels of enjoyment from the covenant that most piques your interest! I appreciate your kind words! Hopefully I was of some help. I made a video on choosing covenants for guardians, I’d recommend giving it a look. May really help you.

[@_Snikerz]

[@michaelmacaluso6076]

I personally enjoy nightfae as 🐻 like the burst and the possible healing for surviving that it gives to yourself

[@RagingBeardedScot]

@@michaelmacaluso6076 Night Fae is really solid for tanks. Alot of M+ people are running it for sure! I'm seeing a nice even spread it seems across most covenants at the upper tiers of play which is awesome!

[@recrub11]

Question? Is not Haste more important than all,,until 14%?????

[@RagingBeardedScot]

I generally go vers haste but vers mastery is more defensive with this build with as much healing as you will be doing with FR.

[@MeStandby]

I just got the last parts for this today in raid, all I need is the ash to craft the legendary

[@RagingBeardedScot]

So jelly!!! Enjoy the hell out of it!

[@cursedbull]

what about necrolords? venthyr is better?

[@RagingBeardedScot]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmLCZ3aVhJJpibc its all based on your own playstyle in my opinion.

[@chukky1124]

what about ursocs legendary for trash when you only do mythic+ and no raids etc ?

[@RagingBeardedScot]

If you are only pugging its a hard leggo to manage because its most effective on your 3 min cooldowns. And it is hard to operate pulls off of 3 min cooldowns.

[@chukky1124]

I’ve been having better success with earth warden. It makes incarn a really strong cd

[@kzenox]

Greetings from Russia. You make a great content. But what should I do with another legendary (Ursoc's Fury Remembered). What about build i should use? Is this legendary playable at all?

[@RagingBeardedScot]

It is during easier key weeks but right now, in my opinion, mobs hit too hard during even during tyrannical weeks so having your pulls be reliant on 3 minute cool downs vs 30 second cool downs makes the dungeon runs take too long. Right now Natural Orders Will feels better in dungeons.

[@dondaythe4th73]

@@RagingBeardedScot this comment is what helped me decide on why I want NOW over Ursocs on Keys! Thanks.

[@olicy]

Yes, I been waiting for this build too. Got the legendary drop last night in raid. Should have the ash tommorow to craft. Any plans for dungeon paths for bears for mythic plus?

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Head to my discord via RagingBeardedScot.gg I have all dungeons mapped out in the #keystone-routes text channel with export codes for mythic dungeon tools.

[@olicy]

@@RagingBeardedScot thanks will do

[@RagingBeardedScot]

@@olicy if you have any questions about the routes feel free to reach out to me on discord. I am regularly updating them! Also I plan on getting m+ videos uploaded for each dungeon to show pathing a little more clearly for those that don’t use mythic dungeon tools.

[@ezoo3884]

I’m just getting back into the game. Is this setup attainable for a casual and usually soloer such as myself?

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Absolutely! 100% drop chance of legendary off any difficulty as far as I’m aware so you can raid finder your way onto that boss to get it. And everything else is obtained from running dungeons on any difficulty.

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Welcome back btw!!

[@remcoemons5037]

hi there, what stats u took on the orders will leggy,vers and master? or hast and vers?

[@RagingBeardedScot]

I like Vers/mastery. Mastery enhances the heals you get from all of those frenzied regens and raises your HP to take those bigger hits.

[@tudopitaya]

Subbed fellow bear man, Been running with ursoc leggy, pop that and berserk, trash+ironfurs near immunity to anything for the duration. Feels more broken, is this really better?

[@RagingBeardedScot]

It is because you are no longer tethered to survival being based around your 3 min cool downs but it being based around a 30 second cool down. Faster paced cool downs, faster dungeon run, higher io.

[@Grimmjiow]

[@tonylinhart2020]

Guardians healing spells cant crit :) Only the clasics healing spells can so crit is pointless :)

[@RagingBeardedScot]

Aside from the fact that 100% of your crit goes to dodge chance yeah i guess it is pointless.

[@tonylinhart2020]

@@RagingBeardedScotwell yes and no the bonus to dodge is just crit from gear so proc crit will give you no dodge bonus :)) When comes to stats you are looking for something more linked to your toolkit like - Haste. Haste gives you faster auto attack (more rage), shortening your cooldowns and global CD, so you can press thrash, Frenzied and Ironfur more often so the interaction is better ... Problem with crit is that gives you just the dodge and there is no other interaction with your toolkit apart of the crit bonus dmg but Ysera and Frenzied cant crit
