Seems like Guardian Druid is becoming a popular option for a lot of players heading into Shadowlands so here is my pre-emptive attempt to help some of you noobs learn to play 🙂

prolonger power pots are also still valid in shadowlands, different use from the rage one, but also a good one to have
Thumbs up for the video and for the tips.
I have never thought on that rage-reset thing but it seems handy.
There's another less obvious benefit to chain pulling. It gives you a head start on building threat. I pretty much always pug and most dps are going to go off like shotgun wielding caffeined monkeys on crack before I even get within melee range of the pack. I've gotten into the habit of doing a quick glance at the healer's mana bar when the last few mobs in a pack are around 10% health and at about 5% health pop a fresh iron fur and run for the next pack if the healer is doing OK. Most dps tend to focus on the ones that are so nearly dead , which gives me time for at least a moonfire and thrash and maybe a swipe or two before the dps start opening fire on the new pack. Can't do that on bolstering weeks and probably not necrotic, but it's a nice way to keep up the pace and avoid threat issues in pugs at the same time.
A small issue with the rage shifting part – you'll loose your IF stacks as soon as you switch out of your bear form, so sadly no benefit for the smart player here.
The rest sounds fine, thanks for your videos! 🙂
Yessss!! Just what I was hoping for. BEAR GANG
Wish Bear was better, my guild is basically forcing me to play BM Monk 🙁
I know the speed and invisibility potions that aren't in shadowlands content don't work anymore. Did that same nerf hurt the rage pots?
The rage potion is actually so dope for an extra 'defensive' on pull
The only other tips I would add for new bear druids are these.
1. If Resto Affinity make sure you are also cleansing yourself. You can Remove Cursed and Poison effects. Your healer will thank you.
2. Make sure you are keeping an eye on Rage Effects on mobs. You can Soothe remove the enrage and save yourself from some large hits.
3. Use incapacitating Roar as an aoe interrupt. They will start to cast the spell again but it can give you that few seconds to switch targets and interrupt. Also if you are about to start kiting Incapacitating Roar can give you a second to put a little distant between you and mobs.
4. If Resto Affinity use Ursol's Vortex to help group up caster mobs. Or if about to kite to give you another few seconds of escape. They spell will also slow the mobs for a few.
I know these are very basic things but they are stuff that I do use and maybe new Guardian Druids missed.
Thx 4 content Sha 👍

Never knew about the Pure Rage Potion. Will definitely be using them until Blizzard removes them!
