Multi-mob tanking


So, I can't believe I have not made a post about this. Well lets start off by acknowledging a few things about multi-mob tanking:

  • Druids should try and tank a maximum of 3 targets if possible.
  • Don't just mash swipe.. well unless you are in T6 gear

So first we will start off with a scenario of 1 target. In this case you
  1. Select target
  2. Hit your maul button
  3. Pull with Fairie Fire
  4. Mash mangle as soon as it gets in range.
The rest is basically spamming lacerate if you are 70. If you are like my buddy Morydd and have not reached 70, just alternate mangle and mauls.

Next we have two targets. In this scenario, you should:

  1. Repeat steps 1-4 on the single target scenario.
  2. Tab to get your second target.
  3. Hit your second target with a few lacerates (or a maul in the case of our buddy)
  4. If no CC is around, you can swipe while staying on your main target and mash mangle every time it comes up.
Okay, now for three:

  1. Steps 1-4 again
  2. Swipe a few times. Tab-lacerate as well when mangle is on CD
  3. Swipe while staying on your main target and mash mangle every time it comes up.

Now 4 or more:
  • Get a pally tank (jk!)
  1. Okay, start off with a Barkskin/ Hurricane combo.
  2. Pop into Bearform about halfway through
  3. Hit demo roar
  4. Mangle your main target and tab swipe/lacerate
  5. Be ready to hit your taunt

Hope this helps. Best of luck to all you feral bears out there. Keep up the great work!
