I’m curious about how WcL determines whether I’m Cat or Bear spec on Vael. I am the second tank in line, so I spend the first half of the fight DPSing and then switch to Bear once the MT gets BA. Across our two raid teams, we have 3 Bear tanks, and I was correctly counted as a tank, while the other two Bears on our other team were both counted as Cats using the same strategy. So what was the deciding factor?
They check things like what damage abilities you are using, how much damage you take, etc.
They don’t always get it right. I’ve seen ret paladins flagged as holy because they end up healing more than dealing damage on a fight.
In your situation, you likely were counted as a tank because you spent time getting attacked by the boss.
That’s what I thought too, but on our other team’s logs, that Bear also tanked the boss for a full 40 seconds and was still counted as a Cat, so idk.
are you using exact same talents?
I’m not sure on that. That could be the culprit.
I’ve also been flagged as dps when I am holy.
Bears have to use maul several times for it to process as tank iirc
happens to me all the time. when i bear stuff and get called a cat DPS…
