Feral Tank Itemization in Cataclysm
Written by Faulken.
Quote from: Ghostcrawler
We talked about druids in bear form also getting AP from strength. Strength won’t appear on leather and no piece should have Str and Agi together, so it’s not like they would really double dip. That lets us still have tanking necks, rings and cloaks with strength on them that are attractive to all 4 tanking classes.
Almost all the items in the game are going to have to change. In many cases this is just a sweeping pass we can make on all gear, such as replacing the Agi + AP on leather with just Agi. So don’t worry too much about what happens with old gear and talents mixed with the new stat system. The gear and talents in many cases must change.

This is fixing itemization, so you’ll see less drops that no one in the group can use. Before, tanking druids still used defense and such, and because of that there was rogue gear, and tank gear, and spell gear for leather. Now there’s just melee leather and spell. Though spell still has healer and dps.
