As I understand it, Druids will need more than one set of gear so we can switch depending on our roll in a given group. My question is this:

I am playing a Feral druid (at least until 70, will respec then) but I don't want to be limited to only tanking/stalking. There are times a healer might be needed, or a DPSer. I have large bags and was thinking of getting ahold of several changes of gear. What gear, in terms of +stat/enchants, would you guys recommend for DPS, Tank and Healing?

Tank: armor/stamina/agility/defense rating (high-end), some strength.
DPS: agility/strength, some stamina. We get more out ofpure stats than ap/crit rating rogue gear.
Healer: Int/+healing/spirit, remember that innervate scales with spirit.

Okay, thanks for the swift reply. Now my question along the same vein is this:

I can probably get a guildy to make me several 14 or 16 slot bags. Should I carry a full set of gear for each spec - IE head, chest, cloak, etc - or just carry one or two major +stat items for the specs I don't normally play, in my case right now healing and DPS. Right now as I am low level, solo'ing and Feral I normally function as a tank.

I'd say you can keep your off-spec sets in bank and keep the sets you use the most on yourself. As a Feral, keep your tank and DPS sets on you, but healing set can sit in bank.

In my experience, I've never picked a group for an instance without the occasion to go back to the bank before we get started. You can always hearth and ask for a summon anyway.

Also, at lower levels, I wouldn't bother trying to update a full healing set. When you get to choose a quest reward and none benefits your Feral self, then look for something that would be an upgrade for your healing set. You will easily gather a few pieces that way even though it may not be an entire set.

And something to note later on: once you start finding idols, stick em in the bank, don't junk em if you're not using them. They're unique and you won't often find a straight upgrade on those. My tanking idol comes out of Stratholme even now.

Thanks for the advice. Last night I followed it, and now I normally wear mostly +str, +sta and +agil gear for solo'ing in bear form but I do have an almost complete set of +int/+spirit gear in the bank for when I'm asked to go into an instance as a healer.
