Might be wrong but, armor only comes from gear, not from trinkets, rings etc anymore. From the dire bear form spell: "armor contribution from cloth and leather items by 370%". Changes in the pre-patch
Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Armor contribution only affect cloth and leather items and does not affect bonus armor. You are right, what this means is that any armor that's green is not affected by the form, but any trinket or ring with a white armor number (there's a few) will be affected as "bonus armor" is only the enchant green number in it
@@polydox1997 Yeah, sanmedia is just incorrect in this, only armor values on leather pieces as per the tooltip provide the armor multiplication. For trinkets you just want to stack straight stamina pieces. Doesn't mean that extra isn't good on weapons/rings but a higher ilvl piece with more stamina will always outclass it as the budget for reduced armor will also be used on something to can provide more TPS such as haste. Which is another thing that sanmedina doesn't get quite right, haste outclasses crit quite considerably for bears for both TPS and survivability. More haste = more mauls = more TPS
@@sanmedina Played a bear back in classic, then tbc, then wrath and again during private servers. Just hit my dual spec today, so this video was hyper helpful. Cheers, mate.
awesome guide! question: can you stack lifeblooms from different druids? eg. you have lifebloom on you from your healer and you apply lifebloom on yourself as a tank - does it stack, does it overwrite, or what happens?
I had to return to the begining of the video, bcs first couple minutes i was just caught by the accent. 😄 Love it. Is it Indian or what kind? Awesome guide btw! THX M8!!!
Sadly, the bonus armor from anything else other than cloth and leather no longer multiplies. At least this is how it is now in the prepatch. Keep that in mind. And by the way, awesome guide.
We checked that on stream the other day. Bear form affects "base" armor but not additional armor. That means that trinkets and weapons that have armor in the base stats (white number) rather than the enchantment (green number) do multiply. For example Warden staff has a white armor value and it multiplies
it's a pity that you only mentioned and didn't show these weakauras how they work in practice at first I thought that this guy has a funny accent and it amused me a bit but then I noticed that he doesn't speak from the script, he speaks from his head, apart from the fact that sometimes it's hard to understand, he uses quite good vocabulary for which he deserves respect
Is your statement about mangle being the best threat ability confirmed on beta? I have seen mentioned maul although outputting less damage produces more threat than mangle.
Maul and lacerate might have a higher ammount of threat if you are butt naked on greens day 1 as their base threat is high, but as soon as you get a couple of blues not even good gear that is definitely not the case
So am I spamming lacirate and mangle after cd for single target? The 4.5 sec cd of mangle made me feel like I was doing nothing half the time so I was swiping like mf
Isn’t better to use battle elixir on 45agi and guardian elix on 800armor?! It’s more better then tot use flask on 1400hp. Also it’s better to use armor enchant on your hands and cloak. + 275hp is better then +10 all stats on chest.
Not enough of these guides. Thanks for making it brother.
Thanks for watching homie
this video is freaking awesome! what a perfectly created guide.. well done !!

@@sanmedina Seems to be correct, missleading tooltip as wepons gives the extra armor but i wouldnt vall wepons cloth or leather !
U get armor from rings and trinkets if the amount isn't on green.
@@sanmedina idk I have offering of sacrifice which is a trinket that gives 550 white armor. The difference in bear form is still just 550 armor.

This guide helped me get into a really solid group. Thanks bro
I loved this guide TBH. fucking hilarious and informative.
i trust a feral that sounds like he comes straight out of the jungle
Bongo bongo
I love the editing in this video, haha.
Glad you liked it!

Earned my sub, short and sweet, informative, and thank you!
Thanks for the sub holmes!
Thanks for this big dog!
Excelente guía! me sirvió mucho thx
btw tu inlgés tiene un acento argentino jajaja
Just found you and can hardly understand you but I subbed. This is a fun game xD
You just got a new sub! I’m going Bear on fresh (whenever that’s is :C )
That is a BEARy wise choice sir!
nice guide man! helpful!
Good guide, I will definitely go glyph of frenzied regeneration over survivor instincts though :)
For ULTIMATE GREEN GLOW EFFECTS
awesome guide! question: can you stack lifeblooms from different druids? eg. you have lifebloom on you from your healer and you apply lifebloom on yourself as a tank - does it stack, does it overwrite, or what happens?
You can have two lifeblooms at once but they stack separately
HOTs count from every healer (even the same spell). It's different than PW:Shield for example.

Or italian or what Is this accent? I love it! 😍😄
It is a mix between argentine and speech impediment
@@sanmedina this Is speech impediment? Really? It sounds really good to foreign ear 😮 im sorry, but sounds great to me 😅
Would I be dumb if I wanted to go mining and skinning to make some gold but also to get the stam and crit from those professions?
Unless you are in a speedrunning guild it will hardly make a difference

do you have any macro for tank druid?
6:45 every time 😂😂
Thanks for the video! I noticed you didnt include Thrash, is it not worth using in tank rotation?
Thrash was added in Cata so you only have swipe and maul for aoe damage sadly
@@sanmedina oh no! Forgot about that lol
Good stuff!
FF generates rage right? Or is that changed?
nope, only physical damage

Got a video like this for resto druid?
I might make one

Under most circumstances faerie fire is a better filler than swipe. It also has cd tho
Haces guías en español?
Alchemy+herbalism not good?
it's okay
Armor on rings doesn't multiply anymore
Join our discord at discord.gg/NgEVACh2Rb We are good bois I promise!
Where you from brother?
this particular country that owned france in 2022
Argentina 😁 I like your accent 🤠 nice video can you make one for Dk tanks as well?
Gonna make a guide for every tank in cata classic
Wow the pre-rejuv heal before a pull to build more threat is so 5head holy shit
Only the most based and bearpilled tricks here
how long is thornes now
Still 10 mins not the cata iteration
@@sanmedina boo! Thank you.
survival of the Fetus XD
This is a christian channel, we value life even in druid talents
there's no way bears are better than DK at single target threat
this video guide is unhelpful. I tried t he talent selection to learn to tank and its not working for me.

bellissimo

Mi no entender very mucho
oso atacar, oso proteger, pero mas importante los paladines lo van a coger
uhh druids can 100% parry sir
Druids cannot parry, not even in retail
@@sanmedina brother im playing wow right now, I parry a lot as a druid
@@natur3calls Druids cant parry mate, they never have been able to, only dodge
Your enemy is parrying you. Druids can’t hold a weapon in their hand when shape shifted so it’s impossible to parry.
@@Pupperino7773 if it were impossible to parry, it wouldn't even show. Like blocking, Therefore parrying as a druid is possible.
