A very indepth and well put together guide, thank you 🙂
Interesting talent choices here. I have a few questions though, if I may.
1. Regarding brambles, I understand that this one gives us the most dps in this tier, but wouldn't you want to use barkskin often when you take this talent to maximize the dps? Which means, wouldn't survival of the fittest work better with brambles?
2. You said you use heart of the wild in dungeons which is very interesting. I thought heart of the wild is mostly useful during raid fights when you have another tank to switch with so you can use some of these heals (because all of them pop you out of bear form as soon as you start casting). What situations in dungeons do you generally use heart of the wild in?
3. This is a more technical question: right now, I find that galactic guardian procs don't highlight moonfire anymore like they used to in previous expansions. Is this "working as intended" or did they say anything about fixing it in beta?
I curious why more guardians don't start stealthed in cat form and switch to bear for for rage and then keeping the heal instead of a charge. Ive been using a stealth sprint macro after each pull and been having no issues with dps waiting for me to pull.
question why not crit over haste if you get 100% dodge from it. Seems like focusing on that that would be better since it's just making it so you 100% mitigate damage more often. Unless dodge doesn't 100% mitigate damage anymore. Haven't really played since wrath/cata
I'm currently a newer player and interested in Guardian Druid, and your Overview is so detailed and informative. It helped me a lot! Thank you!
Solid info here very good channel
Why does my bear Form look so different from yours? XD your bear is so manly. Is this a addon or a talent or just depends on the lvl?
