I have a 48 Feral Tauren Druid as my main toon, but it seems that my HP is a bit on the low side (2151) and my mana is a bit on the high side (2734). 2 questions:

1. How do I post my gear so everyone reading this post can help me?

2. What gear specs (Stam - Str - Agil - Int) do I need to focus on for better HP?



I'm gonna stay 48 - 49 for a few weeks to PVP but any help would be greatly appreciated.

That ones easy. 1 Stamina = 5 (?) Hit points. Just like 1 INT = 5 mana points?

Or it might be 10... pretty sure it's 5.

As tauren you should have HP up the wazoo, and semi low mana. Endurance: +5% maximum health.

I'll bet you're loaded up on INT stuff? I suggest getting stamina/??? gear Stamina/agi;str. .... of the Monkey and .... of the Tiger are hawt.

My FAV. armor is my blue gloves from SFK? I think that was where I got them at. They have agi/str/and good stamina.

Unless you're going to respec for moonkin (sp?) mana is not that important cause feral we spend most in animial form, even faiery fire (feral) cost no MP, then switch to cure/buff.

*Oh and for posting gear, there's a site Wowarmory... I'd try to google it. It lets you post your gear I think, then you link that to the post. http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/?#index.xml


*Lol, more edits... Also, don't forget about the +Hit point enchants you can buy... much dinero tho http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/enchant.html

Lol, Gyfford, remind me why you're a Scholar again? I jest, I jest. ;P

1 Stamina = 10 health
1 Intellect = 15 mana

As for the OP

Check out the Armory. It lets you search through every player on every realm and will show the gear in which you logged out the last time.

In you case, since your sig already mentions your character name and server, it's easy for people to look you up. For the sake of convenience, however, it's always nice to give a direct link.

Like Gyfford said, if you want health, you want Stamina. Lots of it. And being a Tauren gives you a distinct advantage with your racial bonus.

Looking at your gear... I dunno what to say. It looks like you just went with the gear that gives the most stats bonuses regardless of the which stats are boosted.

As a Feral Druid you have very little need for Spirit. Your mana will regenerate while you are in feral forms and you usually stay in a form long enough for it to regen fully before you shift out.

Intellect can be nice. Allows for a few more shifts. But that's it, it has no real use for you. Like Spirit, you can drop most of it. Furthermore, with the Heart of the Wild talent, your mana pool is increased "naturally" so no need for huge amounts of Int.

Stamina: You want lots of it. Stamina is staying power. It's not being killed in the first few combo hits of a Rogue. It's not having a Lock put all his DoT's on you then run away cause he knows you'll die from the DoT's alone. You want Stamina. (I'm a Stamina fanboy)

Agility is a very important Feral stat. Increasing your crit rate is primordial for Cat DPS but the dodge bonuses are also a must for end-game Bear tanking and overall usefulness. In a feral form, your crit rate should be at least 20% to be viable at all. The more the better. About that, you might wanna respec eventually and pick up Primal Fury. It's a great talent for the more crit rate you have the best it becomes.

Strength kinda loses some of its usefulness as you level. In the early levels it rocks because you can't have decent crit rate so boosting white damage is the best thing you can do. Later on, you will still need to increase Strength because, after all, you're doing melee damage. However, it will often tend to fall behind Stam & Agi while remaining a bigger priority then Spi & Int.

Hope it helps you straighten it out.

Ah thanks for the reminder. I'm a old man, I tend to forget stuff if I don't have to think about it in a looooong time. Last time I had to think about what amount 1 stam gives me was..... hmm... what was I talking about again =D

Really, I type from work... 90% of my 2000+ post came from sitting at my lil cubicle, on watch for supervisors... so sometimes my spelling sucks, or my stats slip, or I lose track of what I was saying lol.

I did try looking up the actual stat raises while I was finding the enchants link and the armory link. I was unsuccessful tho.

Keep in mind that item color/rarity does not valuable make. I've seen lots of people pass up good greens in favor of their outdated blues, simply because it's blue. This just doesn't work, especially in outland. If it's an improvement of the piece's stats, GET IT. I'd wear greys if it meant giving me the best iLv stats.

Thank you all so much. *Impressed with the quick replies* I am gonna see about running SFK (since I just hit 48 and have alot to go b/f 49) and get the gear... I will keep in mind about item color (Have always heard that blues are better).

Gonna search Google for the ability to link my gear in previous post!


Thanks again for the help!!!

We linked the Armory page (I did in 1st post) and funny guy Selverein did too =P *cough* 1/2 hour later btw.

Just click on the Armory link and it'll explain how to set up your toons stuff.

I agree Blue is not always better, most the time it is, but it really depends if it gives you the stats you really are looking for. In know my Blue gloves (I can't remember what one I got those from... now that I think of it I think it's from a Silver dragon elite in SM graveyard) They're better than the other gear for my level range... that I've come acrossed for right now. SFK will all be too low for you I think, but might help you get coin to buy better stuff. I plan on after I hit 40, doing some DM solo'n for defias stuff I think. I say 40 cause I want Dire going into it.

you may also want to check wow-loot to see instances that have nice drops for you.

In particular, the "Embrace of the Lycan" head piece drop in ZF, and maybe the Ironshod Bludgeon from Uldaman? Take a peak at the AH when you're in town as well. Sever dependent, but you can sometimes find really good deals on greens.

"of the bear" (sta + str), "of the tiger" (str + agi) and "of the monkey" (agi + sta) are the general green types I think a good feral druid would to have.
