Press F to pay respects to this dead and soon to be forgotten “tank” spec.

I have done so with mine already. Still keep up on it but won’t be tanking till it’s fixed. Feels bad :cry:

I hated guardian druids during Legion, they were literal gods. They are in a proper place now, not godlike.

The irony is strong with this DH.

Did I miss something about Guardian druids? Sure, they haven’t been the most exciting tank spec, but from my experience playing one last expansion it was alright, it got the job done. I would probably like it more, if not for the fact I’d have to look at its bear hind the whole time. So what happened to make it even worse than when this expansion started?

That’s ok, you can switch to a monk. They have the three specs, and are one of the best tanks, once you get past the higher learning curve. Come to monks, because you won’t regret it. We can even do the same things that you druids do in your flight firm with our zen flight.

What did they do to Guardian Druids? I enjoy being a wolf/bear/cat.

Biggest waste of time was leveling my bear and getting it M+ ready to realize how trash it was once I hit max level.

Also hated the grunting noises it always did while tanking.

“GRUHH RAAAWWW WHAAAAAA RAAAAAAAA”

Feel at peace currently with this monk. Feel the big bulky staves and polearms are annoying but it’s deff an improvement over the wailing of the bear.

They were good for one raid of the xpac and were good when every other tank was just as amazing - at the end.

Bears are alright at their job when it comes to raids, but pretty poor when it comes to M+.

Sort of why I shelved my druid (along with actual rotation/gameplay being a snoozefest).

It’s okay, y’all Guardian Druids can sit next to me at the lunch table even though it’s supposed to be reserved for Fury Warriors.
