Ah! Bears! Cataclysm Tanking
This guide will poperly reflect its original documentation located on the official WoW Druid forums, here. Updates here may lag behind a day or two, so for the most up-to-date location, check that thread first.
It’s that time again, folks. Time to completely relearn how to tank with the release of a new expansion, and hopefully, this guide will become your one-stop shop for all your Bear needs. After 4.0.1 hits, Visit your trainer. You will need to retrain several abilities, as well as some new ones.
The current version of this guide supports level 80 tanking, and will not touch upon level 85 until release night. I cannot stress this enough.
I am still researching every day. The information contained within is subject to change and subject to being utterly wrong(especially with numbers and mechanics being constantly tweaked leading up to, and after, Cataclysm release) at any time. If the latter is the case, inform me constructively(I will not respond to blatant trolling) and I will revise with all due haste. I strive to have one of the most accurate tanking guides available.
