Warriors have spell reflect, and Shield Wall (60% damange reduction). Our barkskin is only 20% damage reduction. Given ours has better uptime, its importent to note that magic damage is usually predictable. Druids have 2 cool downs, Barkskin and Survival Instincts, and one spell interupt on a 2 minute cooldown. When it comes down to it the other 3 tanks have better and more ways to deal with burst magic damage then we do. Hence our larger health pool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571730229015763435.post-71593087627008196412009-03-12T19:47:00.000+02:002009-03-12T19:47:00.000+02:00I'm confused, what exactly makes us bad at taking ...I'm confused, what exactly makes us bad at taking magic damage? We get 12% reduction from Protector of the Pack, Death knights get 15% from Frost Presence and the possibility of 5% more from Magic Suppression, Warriors get 16% from Improved Defensive Stance, and Paladins get 15% from Improved Righteous Fury, Guarded by the Light, and Shield of the Templar. We have 4% less magical mitigation than warriors and 3% less than paladins, but we have considerably more than 3%/4% more health than those classes, making us superior magic damage tanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571730229015763435.post-60207003044055896652009-03-12T15:53:00.000+02:002009-03-12T15:53:00.000+02:00Your are completely correct.

If Druid and DK Health pools and armor are going to be nerfed, something must be added so we do better against Magic damage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
