FAQ

Is Bear tanking viable in Forever's 9 new dungeons? −

Blizzard published the Druid kit on 30 September. Thick Hide now grants Armor from Defense skill, so Bear tanks benefit from Defense items, and Primal Bite is the 16-point Bear talent. Mitigation numbers are not published, so label every Bear claim provisional.
