Hey Blizzard, is it the case that you just want druids to be less represented as tanks than any other class? Because you’ve locked their tanking rune behind a truly degenerately long, expensive, and awful grind.
You must not want feral tanks to be a thing, because why else would you lock their tanking rune behind a grind for 24 Fish Oils that drop not particularly frequently from mobs three or four levels above the cap that only spawn in a few places? I haven’t even started the Dark Iron grind yet, the requisite mobs being so far from anywhere the Horde has an inn. Combine that with requiring 16 shredder parts with a 70% drop rate after using a consumed engineering item that themselves require 6 bronze bars, heavy leather, medium leather, and wool to craft, and it feels like you’re just trolling druids.
No other class’s rune from Grizzby is required to be viable in a whole role.
You could cut the requirements for this in half and it would still feel arduous. This sucks super hard as-is. I get that self-nullification is Classic’s charm, but this honestly makes me wonder why I’ve bothered playing SoD.

Warbringer for Warriors is a game changer

Does it provide desperately needed DR and immunity to crit?
You could just quest for a few hours, get 30g+ and just buy the mats for the pass ins lol

I did some quests for about 25-30g, went into wetlands for the bombs, went to stonetalon for the shredders, then bought fish oil for about 30s each.
Overall, I think it cost me about 30g for the rune, but guess what. that 30g was like 13 quests worth at 25. Your stockade quests alone give you about 14-16g.
Dual Wield Especialization for Enh Shamans too
There’s no need for hyperbole.
You could be in cloth gear, Balance spec, and go Bear Form and still handle a ton of content with ease.
The rune is fantastic to be sure, but don’t act like you’re kept from doing literally all available content if you’re too lazy to do it. Bears Tanked all of OG Naxx without crit-immunity, you’ll be fine in Deadmines and BFD.

Druids are both better healers and dps anyway. Give us windfury, or wild growth spam instead.
Don’t need runes for that. Justneed the boring playstyle.
This grind is impeccably easy you’re just lazy.
Play the game and it’s a joke.
I’m getting really tired of these retail players who expect everything handed to them immediately.
Fish oils drop all over the raid. Do a single quest at 25 and you can buy all 24 oils off the AH

Oils are 56s on Wild Growth. Where is the quest rewarding 12g+?
Every BFD quest turned in is like 15g.

That’s what you get playing horde on a pve server.
Your server is probably 80% alliance.
Fish oil were 7 silver on lone wolf when I did the quest a few days ago
one of rogue’s tanking runes is there, and dual wield enhance shaman need the rune from him to be effective dual wielders with hit cap
yeah i won’t be doing any of these tedious quest grinds for runes.
I dont mind a bit of a challenge but this entire quest line is just lazy.
It’s daunting but doable. I just did it to be a rogue tank. If you don’t want to spend the gold on ordinance, there are groups in lfg that summon and it only takes like half an hour to get 20 with a good group.
And as other’s have mentioned questing at 25 gives significant coin rewards.
Best of luck!
Go kill murlocs yourself then. Stop being lazy.
Since the level cap is so low, you could level a miner/engineer character within a couple of days and farm out the turbochargers yourself. The other ones are farmable without too much trouble as well. Yes its an investment of time, but giving us things to do outside of the raid which gets us doing things in the open world is a good thing, not a bad thing, in my opinion.
