Quote:* Savage Defense â this is a new passive ability. When a druid in Dire Bear form deals a melee critical strike, the druid gains a damage shield equal to 25% of their attack power. The next hit completely removes the shield regardless of how much damage was done.
* Survival of the Fittest has had its bonus armor reduced to compensate for the above increase in damage mitigation.
I'm not sure why we need a crit->shield mechanism for druid tanking... Lame idea, IMO.
