I don't really like it too much. The change will make us actually have to waste GCD's on Moonfire rather than other spells which sucks because Guardian is already fairly GCD locked with Thrash/Mangle/Maul. Seems like it's going to end up making the left side of the tree even more appealing but ultimately we'll see how it plays as the patch gets closer and sims start being released.
Bear has a very smooth damage intake against physical damage and a high amount of self sustain such that you don't have to rely on a healer too often. In this way I'd say its low stress since whether you live or die is mostly up to your personal performance. One of the top builds at the moment has you spending most of your rage on Ironfur, which during Incarn can be extremely spammy and causes bear to have the highest APM of all the tanks atm. While not very stressful in terms of decision making it does require you to be quick on rage gen/spending such as to not overcap so in that way it could be more stressful than other tanks. I would say it's a decent starter tank that is viable at the highest level of content in both raid and m+, and it will only get better in damage, defense, and group healing in 10.1.5.
Hey it's a WeakAura I made, you can pick it here: wago.io/eP5KW0CcX And you can get the Gory Fur/Galactic Guardian WeakAura on the left side here: wago.io/ArSwGddiZ You can remove the base UI procs by lowering 'Spell Alert Opacity' to 0 in your Options -> Gameplay -> Combat settings, but this will turn it off for all your toons. If you just want them off for a specific toon you can download the "Jags Spell Alert Switch" addon.
There's an interaction where you can be freed from movement impairing effects when shifting forms, for some reason this effect automatically works on the traps so you never get rooted to begin with. It also works with Ghost Wolf for Shamans.
Nope these are the talents I was using during this run: www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/druid/guardian/DAQAREFBJkkIURRTEUECEQOVFERIhRWQSQUQVBA But I would actually just recommend running Thorns of Iron 24/7 really. Here's the build I use: www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/druid/guardian/DAQBRUFFJgkIUBQTBUEBAOVFAVKgVUQSQVQFBA
Blizzard is trying something new in Dragonflight where 4 of the mythic+ dungeons are from Dragonflight and the other 4 are from older expansions. This time around it's Freehold, Underrot, Vortex Pinnacle, and Neltharion's Lair for the older dungeons. The idea is that they can keep the rotation feeling fresh each season rather than having players be stuck with 8 of the same dungeons for the entire expansion.
what do you think about the nerf of galactic guardian in ptr?
Galactic Guardian can no longer consume existing procs.

Would you recommend playing bear tank for less stress while tanking?

How are you going through traps without getting trapped?
