After this patch the cooldowns are the same and the Druid armor advantage is closer to 5000, and the HP totals are equal. They also have a small avoidance advantage. There remains no real reason to use a DK over a Druid, ever, anymore.
Remember Druids can also use Furious Gladiator for tanking if they can get it, which is FAR superior to any PvE tank gear. ~150 more stamina, ~50 more agility, and ~300 more armor than T8 when raid buffed. This pushes the gap out even wider.
The gap between Druids and DKs for tanking in these patch notes is larger than the gap between DKs and PAL/WAR was in 3.0. |
Yes, I know this. My comment was PRE NOT POST.
I know what my class can use.
The fact that our BIS gear even includes PvP gear is beyond fucking retarded.
I had completely forgotten about Thorim for this reason. I detest the way PvP is implemented in WoW to the point I forget or disacknowlege it's existence.
