Worst to First? - Patch 10.1.5 Bear Druid Guide [WoW Dragonflight]

[@WoWatNight]

Note: Surprisingly, the Raze Build has become the most popular setup BY FAR in high-level Mythic+, and having tested it, it works extremely well! Ursoc's Fury is a very powerful defensive node that is worth sacrificing Galactic Guardian to get. The only downside to this playstyle is that you have to manually spread Moonfire across targets during GCD's you would have spent on Swipe, which can be a little tedious. If a pull is large enough, you have enough Rage to almost always hit Mangle, Thrash, or Raze, and your damage and self-shielding will be enormous!

I know it's niche, but I'm so glad I can finally forego all the berserk nodes.

[@WoWatNight]

That's true, you can skip any or all of the Berserk nodes now. This patch's pathing changes really opened up a lot more build options!

[@BasedChadman]

@WoWatNight Awesome guide btw! Meant to say on an earlier video that you have the best bear druid coverage each update.

[@WoWatNight]

@@BasedChadman Thank you!

[@sensiblename]

Not going to lie, I'm glad for the mf change, I can tell you now that I was unable to stop pressing mf, I just couldn't stop, I tried so valiantly, kind of wish I had tried to gear it up earlier after putting it to rest at the start of Dragonflight. Especially since I really miss tanking atm, this is going to make me somewhat happy to keep pushing through the gearing grind, yes I call it a grind haha

[@jmac4021]

Great video and thanks for your work. 2 quick questions. 1) in MYTHIC PLUS s it a priority to make sure to hit all mobs with moonfire,? Or with having Twin Moonfire, just hit main target with moofire and not worry about other targets? 2) In your rotation priority, you mentioned Tooth and Claw procs, but with the MYTHIC PLUS talents, that does not apply, correct? Just making sure I understand. Thanks again !!

[@WoWatNight]

Yup, trying to spread Moonfire out across all enemies you are fighting is important, since it will add up to a lot of damage. It's not more important defensively than hitting Thrash & Mangle, but in terms of damage output it is generally pretty comparable, so as soon as those are on CD, you can manually cast Moonfire as needed to spread it around to any enemies that don't have it. It's also easy to hit while out of range, so the start of a pull can look something like 'Moonfire-Thrash-Mangle-Moonfire-Mangle-Thrash.' Once you have a whole pack of enemies Moonfire'd up, GG usually does a pretty good job of keeping everything covered. As for T&C, if you have it, you should use the procs as they become available, but if you don't, you can't!

@@WoWatNight Thanks. Big fan of your channel. Happy to support further if that becomes an option.

Thank you!

I’ve only just started Druid, so I’m only in low keys atm, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt, without stampeding my groups would be timing so much slower, people do not know how to fkn use their own movement abilities 😭

[@flemminglarsen3746]

Honestly one of the best changes ever to Bear. I can't recall when I've had more fun tanking on it.

[@WoWatNight]

100%!

[@mrchards37]

Inbe4 all Prot Paladins reroll

[@WoWatNight]

They've been doing that for about a month!

[@chrisrawr6177]

And before that it was prot warriors rerolled just wait they will nerf Guardian by 10.2 and blood will be come the new meta tank. The constant over buffing and then nerfing of classes gets old even for non fotm rerollers.

[@chase4est1]

Is the raze build working out?

[@WoWatNight]

Eh, it's kinda clumsy. There are two main problems with it: Giving up Twin Moons kinda sucks, and splitting Maul and Raze is a bit annoying and bar-bloat-y. That being said, it can work really well! We've seen a couple of modifications to the build from how we initially set it up, with some players dropping Galactic Guardian entirely for Ursoc's Fury to get a ton of self-shielding from Raze and Thrash, and that does make this offense-first playstyle a lot tankier! Additionally, dropping both points in Layered Mane and taking Vicious Cycle and Soul of the Forest will boost your Mangle and Raze/Maul damage by a lot, which helps with priority damage output, but also feeds into your defenses thanks to Ursoc's Fury. You do have to manually maintain Moonfire on enemies up to a certain target count (at 6+, you're better off just filling every possible GCD with Thrash/Mangle/Raze than ever applying Moonfire). That talent setup would look something like this: www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/druid/guardian/DARAREEBCYJCFUUExRRQBBOVVERIhUVFQZQBUCAA It's harder to play and probably not as good as the more normal M+ setup with Earthwarden and GG/TM, but it's something fun, different, and aggressive!

[@nonye0]

lol i came to realized just play w/e tank u like. this constant shift of best tank is getting... i aint that rich and time to keep up with all crafting gears and currencies. if your doing over 25-26 then maybe it matter other than that just stick to w/e u like.

[@WoWatNight]

That's true!

[@nickhernandez2000]

Any chance we can get that Weakaura dear sir?

[@johnwarner4178]

Are day/night talents usually normalized to always be night in dungeons?

[@WoWatNight]

That sounds right. There aren't a lot of Day/Night bonuses, just the Night Elf racial and the Druid talent are all that come to mind.

[@michaellynn3550]

Can I get that WA?

[@WoWatNight]

🤔 Maybe

[@bori1008]

Take this down before we get nerfed

[@gonzalezruben8503]

They nerfed galactic guardian to the ground.
