They replaced Strenght with AP ? Why ?

Tanking mechanics are changing so significantly in Wrath that I'm not going to try to speculate on what exactly attack power vs strength mechanics and preferences will be but I think we saw some shaman gear get the same treatment recently, I wonder what's up.
Expertise is certainly useful for a tank and it doesn't hurt a cat to have it as well, at least up until they remove the target's dodge chance.
Haste and crit look like they will become more useful for restoration druids as they will no longer be restricted to only heal over time spells while in tree form. I'm still not sure exactly what sort of pattern of healing spell we'll see as a result.

...and lots of expertise which is useless for cats.
What?

Guys, Blizz are redesigning much of the mechanics and are designing new sets so we can have the performance we need in the newly designed raid encounters. How can you possibly QQ at this stage?
Thx Malfuron for the links. The rest of this thread is idiotic.

It's not "useless" but it is poorly itemized, there are better DPS gains per ilevel. If Blizzard is serious about making Ferals choose about whether going cat/bear, they're going to need to make optimized sets...for both...
How is getting more attacks through (thus gaining more agro/doing more dps) not optimised? And from what I'm seeing, the set is good for both roles. It's got stam, armor, expertise, it's got agi (avoidance). Sure, it might look a bit more "dps-y" at the moment, but hey...IT'S THE MOTHER#$%^ING BETA?

Really, what does STR do for a druid except for scaling with bok/talents? Nothing. For classes able of blocking it increases damage blocked slightly, but for us, it just adds AP. What's the 'solution', remove STR, add more AP.
Really, it's not gamebreaking.

Because it only affects attacks which would have been dodged; in any raid setting you should be DPSing from behind. Druids also get 10 expertise from talents. Assuming bosses have a 5% parry/dodge chance, this set is just shy (by less than 1%) of expertise capping druids before rings, weapons, etc.
I'm not terribly concerned, these are pretty much guaranteed to be changed before live.
Monsters can dodge even if you're behind them.
And the amount of expertise on the items can be explained by: 1) it's beta 2) Expertise isn't the main focus of the set, it's just a sweet little bonus.
You are terribly concerned. There's a little thing inside of you called "doubt" that makes you think that it won't change.

Less f***ing armor than T4
= What the F**K ARE THEY SMOKING?
No more crushing blows means an armor nerf for druids to prevent them from being able to absorb ridiculously more damage than the plate wearing tanks. Everyone's tanking mechanics are changing significantly in Wrath so you cannot compare current gear to Wrath gear until we know what all of the item and mechanic changes will be.

Really, the expertise itself doesn't bother me, just the amount. I'd just prefer (and expect) to see it reduced and that tanking weapons will make up for the lack of expertise on the set and the ilevel be spent on something affects both cats and bears somewhat more evenly.
...and lots of expertise which is useless for cats.
^Yeah, you sure are consistent with your opinions.^
As i've said before. The set's good for both cats and bears. Oh and, this is Naxx10. Srsly, like the Karazhan of Northrend.
