Off Tank-ing role

Yesterday in a dungeon, we had a Bear Tank that just didn't know what he was doing and agro was all over the place. I was asked to Off-tank to protect the healer, I really don't feel like I have a good setup for Bear tanking, I've stacked agility on everything and have only one piece of gear with plus strength on it, lots of strenth which is what a Bear would need for more damage. Also I'm glyph-ed for claw instead of Maul which is what I would pick for a bear Tank right now at lvl 29.... The Maul glyph would give me one extra target, which would help some for mult targets.

At level 30 we get another major glyph spot, and I'm planning on putting rake in there to keep mob's from running, that will be nice for the cat. At 40 I hope I can afford dual spec and maybe have some more tanking gear will have to see about that.

So the question for now, as a bear helper. When I am trying to pulling agro off the healer, the plan is to go bear. Fiery fire on the mob who is hitting the healer, as I run to them as my slow bear, then Pop enrage which lowers my armor a bit, but I need some rage right away. Demo Roar to generate a bit of agro, maul the back side of the offending mob when I get close enough, and if there are more than one Swipe, maul swipe maul and hope this will generate enough hate in the offending mob to pull them off.

I really don't like leaving cat, and most tanks I've been with in the PUG's really hate if you go into Bear form. But I'm thinking this is at least one way to off tank when its needed then go back into cat, when its safe.

First Post

I play wow way to much, which is not as much as most people on there. I have three toons at the moment, and maybe one more in the near future.

  • SybianRydr - BE Priest (main)
  • SnuffPlay - Tauren Druid (new alt)
  • Orgazma - Troll Hunter
Right now I am loving playing the Druid and just trying my hand at Bear Tanking.
