If you take 8500 damage in bear and switch back, you switch back as a ratio of 1/1.4, or 71%. So it's like taking only 6000 damage. If you throw in a barkskin before going bear, you take even less.Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126933104162290551.post-25624824147456833282008-07-17T19:18:00.000-04:002008-07-17T19:18:00.000-04:00I think once we get more kills under our belt we m...I think once we get more kills under our belt we might have to do our own healing less but I guess for now it is a good saftey net.<BR/><BR/>Fortunate for me I was able to get T4 chest so really the only VG item I am using now is the helm.<BR/><BR/>I really didn't think about going bear, does it actually mitigate more of the damage?Jacemorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665861327209929101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126933104162290551.post-3032188393336236022008-07-17T18:09:00.000-04:002008-07-17T18:09:00.000-04:00Grats on your Naj kill :)The VG gear is really ste...Grats on your Naj kill :)<BR/><BR/>The VG gear is really stellar for tanking. It's light on armor but man, is it good for stam. Especially the helm. It's also not bad for dps, so when you have to dps in bear gear it doesn't suck. <BR/><BR/>Do you powershift? On Naj I tend to eschew healing myself and just powershift instead. I barkskin and then switch to bear right before the pop then mangle and switch to cat afterwards. I take about 30% of the damage others do and powershifting takes care of energy deficits for the most part, and mana tends to be given back via JoW. Then again, our healers rock and accept they'll be healing up the melee, so it's fine in that respect.Kalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193899462301079034noreply@blogger.com
