Hales Spec Guides

Moved to Work in Progress ModeWe are recently working on improving the quality of content here on WoW-Pro.com, both by limiting low ranked guides and by moving out of date guides into archives. For more information, see [url=https://www.wow-pro.com/node/3016]the full news post detailing this process[/url].

Your guide has been moved to Work in Progress mode for the following reasons:
[list][*]The guide is ranked an average of 2 or fewer stars.
[*]The guide is significantly out of date from the current patch.[/list]

If you improve your guide to address these issues, you are welcome to change it to Finished mode again. If you have any questions about this process, feel free to comment here.

dude, he is trying ok,dude, he is trying ok, criticism is good but your just being a dick

my bad just checked it outmy bad just checked it out on the forums resil does add towards your defense and crit reductiong, you need about 5.6% from what i read at http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=22419030658&sid=1

A few corrections.

1)A few corrections.

1) Resilience does in fact reduce crit chance in PvE, just not damage.

2) Fights where you will be constantly moving with an add as a tank (such as kiting oozes in rotface, for one example), you need your dps to be capable of moving at the same pace as you. Not only that, theorycrafting on sites such as elitist jerks have proven that speed is the best enchant on boots for any fight with movement elements greater than 5 seconds.

shoulder enchant: while theshoulder enchant: while the pvp does give stam-which for druids is better then the dodge and the defense found on the sons of hodir, the resil does not add to crit reduction mainly because resil does not effect bosses but rather players in a pvp situation, so all im saying is that whiel stam is better don’t say resil add to crit reduction simply because it doesn’t

Chest enchant: i would also disagree with this, while once again stam is important you probably benefit more from +10 to all stats considering that it affects everything sure you lose 175 health but if your relying on that +175 health as a tank then you’ve got bigger problems.

Feet: i agree with your enchant but no the fact that you require your melee dps that you will be tanking for to have it as well main reason being its their choice but also because as a tank you wanna have that speed increase over your dps so you can get there that much earlier and can start building your threat earlier therefore making it easier for you.

guys this is not best guideguys this is not best guide in world but it help people under stand feral tanks ok

Try to be a little moreTry to be a little more constructive in your criticism. I agree that this guide needs a lot of work, but there are much better ways to get that point across.

Guide?Is it really a guide?
Don’t see why you made it, and your video is so terrible.
Video is too fast, the quality is poor also, saying too much unneeded information

Sound advice here, but goodSound advice here, but good formatting, punctuation, grammar and spelling are crucial for a guide, or people will just skip over it.

I’d recommend some formatting with the firefox formatting toolbar, and use of Jame’s Guide Writing Guide (https://wow-pro.com/jame_guide_writing_guide).

An example of proper punctuation and grammar which will markedly improve any guide:

Hi there my name is Hales. This is feral tank spec guide. I will make a boomkin guide and a death knight guide. Hope you like this.

Wrist Enchant: +40 Stamina from an enchanter.

I understand that English may or may not be your first language, which is why I’ve done these spelling corrections, however formatting is universal in any language, so you can improve this guide massively with use of things like wowhead links or bolding and colouring of text. Abbreviations such as ‘u’ and a lack of capitalisation really aren’t acceptable, so if you can take this on board for future things you do, that would be great. Good luck 🙂
