- Enter Bear Form.
- Maintain Moonfire on the target.
- Use Barkskin on cooldown.
- Use Berserk on cooldown, ideally against multiple enemies.

He also played in the first MDI Mythic+ Dungeon Tournament, where his team placed second. His mindset on tanking has always been taking the utility and damage one can bring to the raid to the next level. He was the #1 Rank DPS Guardian Druid for 5 tiers in a row and top the 1-6 for the last 12 tiers, playing Guardian Druid, Brewmaster Monk and Protection Warrior mainly based on what is the strongest for progression at the time.
