Cataclysm Gear: Leather
Bear Tanks
- Feral Druid (Bear)
Besides Stamina, a vital statistic for any tank, a bear's immutable stat is usually Agility. More important, however, are the other defensive stats: Dodge, their Mastery, and Armor. (Note that bear tanks get no benefit from Parry.) Because bears in Cataclysm share leather gear with Rogues and Druid cats, they get most of their avoidance and mitigation stats from tanking accessories: cloaks, necklaces, rings, trinkets, relics.

- Although technically this is a quest reward from the Darkmoon Faire, Scribes (inscriptionists) make the Stones cards that compose the Earthquake Deck, which is exchanged for the trinket.
- This is PvP gear but, even for PvE, may be an upgrade for PvE items whose level is 346 or below. (Resilience has no effect in PvE encounters, but the other stats of this 377 PvP gear may outweigh the total stats of lower-level PvE gear.)
