Hi NerdEgghead！Why do you choose Battlemaster's Determination but not Battlemaster's Cruelty? According to the normalized weight, Battlemaster's Cruelty is superior than Battlemaster's Determination.

Commentaire de Avathar

Hi,
every other BIS list is using the boss drop location of the token. Here it's the token vendor. A bit confusing when creating bis lists for the guild.

Commentaire de Lomevarya

Emeraude d'écume stable seems to be unavailable as of now.
I couldn't find the pattern at the vendor (being exalted) and i haven't seen it on multiple servers (using a third party site).
The comments for Dessin : Emeraude d'écume stable indicate that this might be added in a later phase.

Hey NerdEgg, I wanted to run an idea by that I'm sure has been said before but for some reason can't find a clear answer to online. I currently MT for my semi-hardcore guild and have 0 real issues with threat. I picked up Pillar of Ferocity last week and noticed that without my Earthwarden on I was getting parried noticeably more often. I wanted to ask if there's such a thing as a "consistency set" where a bear can put on Gloves of the Searing Grip , Belt of One-Hundred Deaths , and Earthwarden to reach 5.25% expertise (the highest we can reach in P3 as far as I can tell) and try to get parried or dodged as infrequently as possible to reach the highest number of successful pulls as possible, when pure threat generation is a non-issue as long as my hits land.

Commentaire de Clefairy

There's an awful lot of value being placed on the 4p bonus for bear. By any log, Swipe damage is bringing up the rear of a bear's DPS chart even when perfectly used as filler; the 4p will add something like 17 TPS at 4k AP. I can only see justification for t6 gloves over Searing Grip if the feral is going to spend most of the fight with Wolfshead on doing cat DPS. I can only see omitting the s3 helm/chest combo if the player isn't going to do arena, and that's fine. I can't think of a single decent reason, using the t6 4p or not, to slot in t6 gloves over Searing Grip before phase 5.

Commentaire de runninwoof

"The set is crit immune via a combination of Defense and Resilience on gear pieces, and provides the Druid with 19,800 HP, 35,000 armor, and 62% avoidance when fully raid buffed with consumables."

The first set does not give 35k armor. It would give under 32k armor unbuffed, and even fully buffed with armor scrolls and devo aura you would still be under 35k armor.
You would need either add double armor rings or badge to reach 35k fully buffed.

Hi NerdEgg, it's me again. I wanted to say that I for the most part have followed your guide and list to a T, and it has helped immensely. I am 2 pieces off of the "bis" you proposed for P3 (Illidan chest & Gilded) and feeling the power. I originally rolled as a prot warrior but going into SSC I saw what bears were doing and made a hard swap. I appreciated your response to my expertise question, as I realized I was still thinking like a prot warrior & not a bear. Going from the tanking class that has Last Stand & Shield Wall to going to a CD-less bear was pretty vexing, but just tonight I got my shadowmoon insignia, put on the PvP trinket I had in my bag for weeks and immediately felt how great it was to have some control over a possible death scenario. This last stand combo is totally OP and something I never would have known without this. Thank you very much for the guide.

Commentaire de No1Uknow

Why is resolute cape not listed as a viable option for cloaks? It's nearly identical to thoriumweave except its crafted so easy to attain and what you lose in armor (a tiny amount) you get a huge gain in resilience

Commentaire de Craftistic

Just a quick note - your drop source for the T6 leg token is incorrect for both top options.

Hi there , currently Tsunami Talisman under the P3 other trinket list is showing the Badge of Tenacity source information, and the badge is showing the Tsunami's info. Just an fyi
