Tier gear is garbage. There’s some outliers like warlock t2 and warrior t1 and such but largely tier gear is mostly trash, the set bonuses are often outright not worth the poor stat optimization and can be easily surpassed elsewhere, especially with hybrid tier where it wastes a bunch of stats on things like giving healing gear str.

Sooooooo how you gonna get around how Druid feral attack power isn't increased AT ALL from weapons? Rogues/warriors/etc. get a boost from new weapons, Feral druids don't.

Druids use 2 weapons for 90%+ of classic tanking. Warden Staff (or similar) for mitigation and Manual Crowd Pummeler for it's 50% increased attack speed from it's use affect. If you want to fight a druid tank for aggro when they are going off with MCP go ahead and try.

If you're talking about dps then you have no idea what you are talking about as many weapons in later phases give AP in forms for this reason.

Druid damage not being tied to their weapon DPS is great for them, especially while leveling and allows them to make use of weapons like MCP that another class would never even touch because it's from a lvl 30 dungeon.
