Well, I'm not currently at level cap yet, but I read a lot about Druid in lots of forums, so I thought on making a compilation of links about Bear tanking.

I want to add that I will not post the contents of the links here. I think this would be a ripp-off of someone else work, and I don't like that at all. BUT, of course, if anyone posts anything on this thread that I think it would be nice to add, I will ask if I can quote them.

I would like to point out, also, that all of this are work of others and all the credits go to them (please follow the links so you can congratulate THEM on THEIR work). I will try to edit things here every time I see a important updated link or a new one.

Agreed.

Hey frequenc, have you considered creating dedicated stickies for the most common subjects/questions? Most of the class forums have two or three stickies, and I think it'd be valuable. It seems like the number of questions in a few key areas (maybe gear/weps, tanking, healing, just first thought) would merit discrete stickythreads.

May I quote this here? More links can never be bad.

No I haven't.
There's nothing stopping you from writing one though.
