[GnobblyGnomer]

10. Addons

[Deadly Boss Mods, Click to Download]
A must have for every Raider. Shows timers for abilities for Every Raid and Dungeon Boss in the game, puts up warnings ahead of time and plays a "run away!" sound if you need to move away from something dangerous.

[Tidy Plates, Click to Download]
An improved version of the default Blizzard Nameplates. You need to use nameplates when tanking, it display what mobs you have aggro on, are close losing aggro on and do not have aggro on. If you AoE tank without this then you'll have no way of knowing what mobs you you need to taunt.

[Omen Threat Meter, Click to Download]
Shows the entire Threat table of your current target. Get into the habit of glancing at this every couple of seconds.

Your guide was my go-to for learning how to bear tank on private servers and I'm delighted to see that you've continued to update it for Classic. Thank you!!!

Thanks. This very good post.
I am playing Lorderon server, Is druid tank still good with no +30% ICC Buff ?

If you're a decently geared bear, like 6.2k with four t10 set, and your main focus is just doing rdf hc, what stats should you gem over stamina? Should I go full strength, Agility, or just raw AP? For rdf hc, I want to output decent dps like 5k-7k if possible, and to help make the rdf go faster. Thoughts?

At 6.2, you should naturally be doing that kind of damage. If you truly want to increase your damage significantly, it would not be through gems (unless you are planning on sitting in cat) but equipping high gs agil weapons like oathbinder/bloodfall and/or dps trinkets.

In addition, you would be looking for damage increasing talents such as maxing out naturalist and master shapeshifter in the resto tree to get the + 14% physical damage while in bear form.
