WotLK Change: Resilience (big news)

[CtpUK]

Resilience will no longer be usable in instances. It will only be applied in PvP arenas/instances or when flagged for PvP in the real-world.

SO!!!! No more crappy tanks covered in PvP gear!!! Hazzah!!!

(note: ferals have had their need for +def reduced bigtime, so that the need to itemize for ferlols isn't as big a concern for Blizz anymore - ALTHOUGH, NO LEATHER ARMOUR WILL COME WITH ADDITIONAL ARMOUR....QQ)

Additional armour on gear + bear armour multiplier = awesome bear tanks...now, it's all gone to pot...)

You need a very long nerf-stick to annoy a bear, seems Blizz found one .... right next to the Rogue non-death scrolls and the Paladin gimp mortar.

Well, word is that Blizz are planning a "Dire Cat" form, similar to the upgrade Dire Bear you get at lvl 40(?).

This form is rumoured to come with a slight increase to armour/dodge/attack speed and the ability to attack with off-hand swipes! :D

Maybe Blizz want to make Druids the last option for tanks (even though they are in BT/SWP already, but improve them to scale better as dps.

Bah, like we need more melee DPS with DK-s coming and stealing our spots posing as tanks :/
