TBC Classic Feral Tank Druid Fire Resistance Gear Guide
On this page, we cover Fire Resistance gear for Tanking Druids in TBC Classic, meant to be used for the Flame of Azzinoth adds in the Illidan Stormrage encounter in Black Temple.
The ultimate goal of such gear is to allow you to take vastly reduced Fire damage, which is critical to survive and finish the encounter.
Fire Resistance Gear
Fire Resistance gear is needed for Druids who want to tank Illidan Stormrage's Flame of Azzinoth adds in the first intermission.
All of the Epic-level Fire protection gear in TBC Classic is acquired from
either crafting, quest rewards, or from the Badge of Justice vendor.
Combining these pieces of gear, some enchants, consumables, and raid buffs, you
should easily be able to reach an acceptable level of Fire Resistance.
In TBC Classic, the resistance cap for players against bosses is 365. Anything past 365 will be wasted. Combine some of the options listed below with your current gear to make the closest set to 365 possible while staying immune to critical strikes.
Finally, keep in mind that external buffs such as Fire Resistance Totem
and
Flask of Chromatic Wonder are very strong ways to increase your Fire
Resistance without requiring specific gear, and should always be used to hit the
cap.

Fire Resistance Enchants
In addition to the Fire resistance gear shown above, there are a handful of enchants and gems that players can use to further increase their Fire Resistance if needed.

Glyph of Fire Warding
Inscription of Endurance
Flame Armor Kit
Enchant Cloak - Greater Fire Resistance
Enchant Shield - Resistance
Lesser Arcanum of Resilience
Void Sphere
Fire Resistance Consumables
Players can also find Fire Resistance through consumables. Some of these
offer additional resistances, while some will absorb a moderate amount of Fire
damage. Flask of Chromatic Wonder is of particular note as a very powerful
default flask for Feral Druids, which means you can use it on all bosses and not
just Illidan Stormrage.

Fire Resistance Buffs
Another great way to increase your Fire resistance are the multiple raid buffs provided by other players in your group, which go up to 70 extra Fire Resistance. Take note that these abilities do not stack, and only the strongest one will be applied, so you always want the Shaman Totem or Paladin Aura.
