What does strength help for bear form?
I am under the impression that for prot warriors its good for blocking and attack power (does not our attack power come from agility? and we have no shields) but if agility is stacked for the dodge and armor benefit where does strength play a part?

Is it worth sacrificing any agility for strength? 

I know that is a lot of questions but I could sure use some clarity on how Agility and Strenth effect bear form.

Thanks ahead.

For lvl 70 druid tank 1st priority is get defense up to 415 (provided you have talent "Survival of the Fittest") this will make you as uncrittable as possible.

Then:
Armor > Stamina > Agility for mitigation

Strength will give you attack power, which helps to do more dmg and maintain threat.  It is a lower priority than Armor, Stamina, and Agility.

It is good to have some strength and hit to maintain threat.  But imagine a druid tank with mediocre armor, hp, and dodge and alot of strength.  The tank would be toast.  You want to take punishment for a long period of time and hold threat while others destroy your target and heal you.


If you are soloing as a bear, then more attack power is wanted so you can destroy your mobs faster, so a mix of str/agi items with armor/stam/agi items would work well.  Str has some bennefits over straight attack power as well (help with some talents), but items with +stam +agi +attack power are good for ferals in place of +stam +agi +str.
