[[Category:World of Warcraft uncommon quest rewards]]

−

* Shapeshifting breaks [[snare]], [[root]], and [[Polymorph]] effects.

−

* Can use [[Druid Abilities#Bear Form|Bear Form Abilities]].

−

* Threat generated is 1.3x base value

−

* The attack speed for Bear and Dire bear forms is 2.50.

−

* This is essentially a more powerful version of [[Bear Form]], and learning it prevents the Druid from using Bear Form.

−

* This form essentially mirrors the armor change of warriors and paladins from mail to plate at level 40.

−

* The armor bonus is only applied to natural armor (received from white effects), and not item modifiers (enchantments, armor kits, etc). For example, a [[Hakkari Loa Cloak]] with 50 base armor, and a +20 armor enchant will count for:

−

** 160 armor in Bear form (<code>160 = 50 + 50 * 1.8 + 20</code>)

−

** 255 armor in Dire Bear form (<code> 255 = 50 + 50 * 3.7 + 20</code>)

−

** 255 armor in Moonkin form (<code> 255 = 50 + 50 * 3.7 + 20</code>)

−

== Talent improvement ==

−

== Tips and tactics ==

−

* Dire Bear form is simply an improved Bear form; standard [[Bear Form#Tips and tactics|Bear form tactics]] apply.

−

{{Patched|patch=2.0.10|note="Dire Bear Form" now grants 25% increased stamina instead of 25% increased health. In addition, the armor bonus has been reduced from 450% to 400%.}}
