Even if that's true, 1.5 seconds in human form between reshifts will be the death in 99,9% of cases.

^ This.

I think what, Broodlord Lashlayer would be the only fight I'd prefer Bear over Warrior? I guess anything where TPS is a much larger issue as well.


I generally get put in over my guilds prot warriors on Jindo as well, because Bears are immune to the hex so it makes for less hassle.

Because everything currently is too easy anyway, why not use a bear and have some fun instead of tryharding with the best possible setup and clear the same dungeon on the same day anyway? It has always been beyond me.

Progressing raid sure I get it, but after that? Lol. Get a bear and let him enjoy the game.

If it takes you 1.5sec to go into bear form again its your reaction time that needs improving.

This is because the boss is forcing you out of form, it's not you trying to shapeshift.

This one I agree entirely.
Even as protection warrior I'd often leave that fight to a bear.

In your opinion bear tanks are better than prot paladins? Seems to be the general consensus I believe. Except for the AoE/trash tanking part.
