TBC Classic Feral Druid Tank Phase 5 / Tier 6 Gear and Best in Slot

2.1.

TBC Phase 5 / Sunwell Plateau Feral Tank Druid Tier Set

Feral Tank Druid Tier 6, the Thunderheart Harness, is obtained from the following bosses:

Helm — Archimonde in Hyjal Summit
Chest — Illidan Stormrage in Black Temple
Legs — The Illidari Council in Black Temple
Shoulders — Mother Shahraz in Black Temple
Gloves — Azgalor in Hyjal Summit

Its set bonuses are:

2 pieces — reduces the energy cost of your Mangle (Cat) ability by 5 and increases the threat generated by your Mangle (Bear) ability by 15%. This is a strong threat increasing bonus which will make it even harder for other players to pull aggro from you.
4 pieces — increases the damage dealt by your Rip, Swipe, and Ferocious Bite abilities by 15%. While the effect for pure tanks is small, it is a decent damage increase whenever you can go Cat and also provides more AoE threat with Swipe.

3.

Phase 5 / Sunwell Plateau Best in Slot Table

Leatherworking is a great profession for instant drums and special crafted gear in Phase 5, and Engineering still provides useful Stamina trinkets to a gearing Druid, but these can easily be replaced, making Enchanting stronger. Jewelcrafting also has slightly better gems if you have it.

Finally, it is worth noting that Idol of the Raven Goddess Icon Idol of the Raven Goddess is taken for its group benefit, rather than your personal benefit, as it can grant up to 100 Critical Strike rating across an optimized group which is a huge raid benefit.

Braided Eternium Chain Icon Braided Eternium Chain provides a strong party buff, which makes it worth using when trying to maximize raid damage. Make sure to get a new one whenever charges are expended so that you can keep using its secondary effect.

TBC Phase 2 / Tier 5 Feral DPS Druid Tier Set

Feral Tank Druid Tier 5, the Nordrassil Harness, is obtained from the following bosses:

Helm — Lady Vashj in Serpentshrine Cavern
Chest — Kael'thas Sunstrider in Tempest Keep
Legs — Fathom-Lord Karathress in Serpentshrine Cavern
Shoulders — Void Reaver in Tempest Keep
Gloves — Leotheras the Blind in Serpentshrine Cavern

Its set bonuses are:

2 pieces — causes your next Regrowth to become an instant cast after you shift out of an animal form. This is mostly irrelevant in PvE but could be useful in PvP and soloing for reliable instant healing.
4 pieces — causes your Shred ability to deal an additional 75 damage, and your Lacerate ability to do an additional 15 damage per application. This bonus gives you a good threat increase and is nice to aim for as soon as possible.

9.

Phase 2 / Tier 5 Best in Slot Table

Leatherworking is still a good profession, both for instant drums in later phases and for Boots of Natural Grace Icon Boots of Natural Grace in Phase 2. Engineering also still provides useful Stamina trinkets, but these can be replaced in Phase 2, making Enchanting (for ring damage enchants) stronger. Jewelcrafting also has slightly better gems if you have it.

Finally, it is worth noting that Idol of the Raven Goddess Icon Idol of the Raven Goddess is taken for its group benefit, rather than your personal benefit, as it can grant up to 100 Critical Strike rating across an optimized group which is a huge raid benefit.

TBC Phase 1 / Tier 4 Feral Tank Druid Tier Set

Feral Druid Tier 4, the Malorne Harness has gloves, chest, head, legs, and shoulders. Its set bonuses are as follows.

2-piece bonus — melee attacks in Dire Bear Form have a 4% chance to generate 10 additional Rage. Cat Form attacks have a 4% chance to generate 20 Energy, instead.
4 pieces — increases your Armor by 1400 in Dire Bear Form and your Strength by 30 in Cat Form.

Both of these bonuses are great and getting two-piece T4 should be your highest priority early on, followed by the rest of the set.

Our recommendation for Tier 4 is using the full tier set along with the best off-set pieces available in the rest of the gear slots.
