Guardian Druid Tank Mythic+ Tips — Midnight Season 1

Both Druid of the Claw and Elune's Chosen are viable for High Mythic+ Pushing.

Elune's Chosen represents a simpler and easier-to-start-with rotation compared to Druid of the Claw. Lunar Beam offers a very strong cooldown that can be used extremely frequently. We also gain a significant amount of self-healing from Lunar Calling which makes Thrash arcane.

Overall, this build excels in very AoE-heavy dungeons, especially where you are able to do large pulls.

• Fury of Nature can be a flexible point.

Druid of the Claw can offer great overall damage reduction and burst damage AoE damage in addition to the ability to deal significantly higher single target dps if required.

Overall, this build excels in dungeons where pulls are smaller, such as 3-5 mobs, and where bosses pose a more significant challenge.

• Fury of Nature can be a flexible point or 2.

Our talent tree is quite flexible and has multiple different options depending on your playstyle, preferences, and situation.

Skull Bash interrupts spell casts and prevents spells from the same school from being cast again for 4 seconds. Skull Bash has a 13-yard range, and casting it from out of melee range will cause you to charge into melee range to interrupt. Note that although the charge animation has travel time, the interrupt happens when you use the spell. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.

• /stopcasting
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Skull Bash

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Incapacitating Roar is your "AoE stop". This will immediately disorient all targets around you. It can be great for stopping casters, but keep in mind they will generally recast right after.

Ursol's Vortex can be used to keep mobs from running around or from being knocked away.

Typhoon can be used as an additional stop; it will knock enemies back which can be disruptive, so it should be a last resort. It can be used in combination with Ursol's Vortex to keep the mobs in relatively the same place.

Remove Corruption removes all harmful curse and poison debuffs from the target. Many dungeons apply these types of effects, and being able to dispel them is a great piece of utility.

Soothe will remove all enrage effects on a single enemy.

Entangling Roots can root patrolling enemies to prevent them from entering combat with you or to skip them entirely. Casting it will cancel Bear Form, however, so do not cast it while you are actively tanking.

Rebirth resurrects dead allies in combat. This costs 30 Rage, but it can be handy if your healer dies during an encounter.

Regrowth is a single target heal. Casting it will cancel Bear Form.

Stampeding Roar is mainly used indoors or during combat for short bursts of movement speed. It is generally used for kiting or going from one pack to the next, but it is also useful for speeding your friends out of dangerous ground mechanics.

After the Wildfire This talent causes a massive burst of healing in an AoE around you every 300 rage you spend.

Dream of Cenarius This talent enables you to do a massive single target heal on any group member of your choice every 20-30 seconds.

Xalatath's Bargain: Ascendant will periodically spawn a number or orbs in waves that need to be crowd-controlled in some way, before they complete a cast. Each orb successfully stopped provides the group bonus Haste, so it is a high priority to deal with.

Guardian can make use of Incapacitating Roar and Typhoon, which when aimed correctly can remove a huge number of orbs when they start spawning.

Xalatath's Bargain: Voidbound will periodically summon a large Void Emissary that will begin to cast Dark Prayer. This enemy must be killed before the cast completes to stop it, otherwise it provides significant damage reduction to nearby enemies. If successfully stopped, the group is granted a large amount of Versatility and cooldown reduction.

This needs to be killed off quickly, so prioritize hitting it when it is up. As a tank, we generally need to save our offensive cooldowns for pulls, but if your group is having issue with this monster you can send them here too to help.

Xalatath's Bargain: Pulsar spawns an orb that orbits each player, which needs to be soaked by a separate player before they expire. Each orb will grant the party 4% Mastery and 2% Leech, stacking, with a 30-second duration. Unsoaked orbs will increase nearby enemies' damage done, and reduce their damage taken.

Guardian can use Stampeding Roar to help you and your group collect these quickly.

Xalatath's Bargain: Devour applies a debuff to each party member, that must be either dispelled or healed off (though bear in mind this does not absorb incoming heals). Each debuff dispelled provides the group with maximum health and Critical Strike, stacking, for 30 seconds. Any debuffs not cleared will heal nearby enemies a large amount.

We always have Remove Corruption talented and this can be used to dispel one or two of your group members. Shapeshifting out of Bear Form will also remove it, as a small slow has been added to the effect in Midnight.
