Druid Tanking Builds Patch 3.3

If you are low on gold or struggling to get by with enough gold take a look at this Gold Guide for some of the best gold making information out there.

There's not a whole lot of excitement or versatility when it comes to Druid Tanking Builds. You'll spend almost all of your points in the Feral Tree, the talents you won't get will be ones that Cats primarily used. There won't be a great variation of talent builds between AoE and Single Target tanking as the other classes have. Druids are pretty straight forward, this will also cut down on the glyph options as well.

Now that doesn't mean druids are a lesser tank, they are just simpler. Compared to the Death Knight that can tank in any of it's trees the Druids trees and what they are used for are very defined.

As said above, there won't be a need or even a possibility to tank efficiently without a build similar to above. There are possibly a few things we can do to tweak this build. You can try to free up 4 Talent points from the Feral Combat tree and put them into Natural Shapeshifter/Master Shapeshifter, while stealing the point also from Omen of Clarity. This will increase your damage if you are having threat problems. The other thing you can do is move 5 talent points into Feral Aggression if from the Feral combat tree if for some reason you think that the AoE attack power reduction is necessary for AoE Tanking for you. You can possibly take 2 points out of Shredding Attacks and 3 points from Infected Wounds to accomplish either task.

The rotation for Single Targets is simple, Stack Lacerate, Mangle when available, and Maul whenever you have the rage to do so. For AoE Tanking, you Swipe when it's up, throw a Mangle in, and hit Maul to rage dump.

Your Glyph selection choices are few, we will be using Frenzied Regeneration, Maul, and Survival Instincts. Possible alternatives are: Berserk and Mangle.
