I have been playing feral druid (pvp mostly, but also tank) since TBC and when i came to this server i noticed bear druid had so very little armor. I did some research, i hope you can help me to check it so i can see if im right or not...
- KarewaThis talent doesn't works as intended... I made some research and here are my results:
My armor in caster form is 9998 in hc gear (no bonus armor, no meta gem, no tank talents) and 10998 (with talents). As you can see in (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1827524131) the formula for calculating armor is the following:
Bear Armor = (Caster_Form_Armor - Bonus_Armor) x 2.2 x 1.78 + Bonus_Armor
The caster_form_armor should be your armor with talents. The 2.2 multiplier is: 1.0[base amor] + 1.2 [bear form bonus amor] and the 1.78 multiplier is the Thick Hide talent increase in bear form.
So if i do all of the above my armor should be: (10998 - 0) x 2.2 x 1.78 + 0 = 43078 armor
Here is a screenshot of my current armor: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l280/ ... 2007-1.jpg
Why do i have only 30796 and not the 43078 armor? The formula that the server uses is the following (i did A LOT of testing to see what was the server doing):
Bear form armor = Caster_Form_Armor(WITHOUT TALENTS) * (1[base armor] + .1[Thick hide] + 1.2[Bear form armor] + .78[Thick hide])
If i do the math with my armor i get:
Bear form armor = 9998 * (1 + .1 + 1.2 + .78) = 30793 armor
