WoW Forums -> Defense after clefthoof

Staying uncrittable after Clefthoof:

Gonna pick up those PVP bracers. Turns out they're good for dps too.

Also, re: resilience:

Note: For feral tanking druids resilience can be usefull instead of defense to reach crit immunity, 2.6% crit to overcome at lvl 70 with Survival of the Fittest.

60 defense rating = (-1%crit,+1%miss,+1%dodge+1%perry,+1%block)
39.4 resilience rating = (-1%crit,-2%crit damage)
14.7 agi = (+1%dodge,+0.58%crit,+29.4 armor)

The conclusion is that if your goal is to become a crit immune druid you can swap 60 defense rating with 39.4 resilience rating + 29.4 agi. This is because (1%miss and 1%dodge) = 2%dodge, see also Attack Table for this. So this tradeoff gives you the same crit immunity and gives even slightly better damage mitigation because of the use of Agility. This trade off is also good for the extra crit and armor, which are both useful for feral tanks. Looking at normal stats of defense rating and resilience on armor and weapons it is easier to get crit immunity through resilience then through defense. This is not true for Warriors as they can Block and Parry and therefor get much more benefit from defense rating than feral druids.

Wish the wiki's spelling were better, but at least the numbers seem right.

Here's Druidist's armory. Tier 5 and uncrittable with no clefthoof, no defense trinket, and without Earthwarden. He has the Scryer shoulder enchant though... wonder if I should have gone Scryer.

This information is generally right but be aware uncrittable to bosses is 5.6 they have another .2% chance to crit every level higher they are than you are. So repeat 5.6 not 5

Yes, which is why, like it says above, the crit cap for druids is 2.6 with 3% crit reduction from SOTF. Dunno why you felt the need to post.
