Quote:I don't like using all-stats gear on my druid, even when in a group as a Cat.
If I'm playing DPS when something goes wrong and I need to shift out and heal, base mana is enough for the big guns - Innervate, Rebirth and Tranquility. If those won't save the day it's pretty rare for one extra regrowth to matter. I don't select Cat gear purely for offensive stats though - I prefer "Bandit" to "Tiger" for Cat. I lose a little damage output, but far less than I do in all-stats gear and I'm much more effective if needed to tank in a pinch.
If the plan for a boss or hard trash pull includes me healing, I'll put on my heal gear beforehand.
I prefer "Beast". Same stats as "Bandit", only for druids (Str, Agi, Sta instead of AP, Agi, Sta).

A thread on the US forums regarding bear tanking (post 134, specifically). The OP is generally being disregarded due to not bringing numbers to the table.

Yeah, that worries me.
