Banned.

This'd be my third permanent ban.
Thank you new moderation! But thanks for putting my guide in the sticky as well. If ou could now kindly unban me?

Anyways, since I can't respond on the forums. You can always ask questions here. I really hope somebody finds this back and posts it somewhere on the forums. (Please? Somebody? Anybody?)

Aranoo asked:
Quick question!
Why is Agility better than strength?
Me and my friend are having a small discussion as he thinks Strength > Agility

Thanks upfront!

Excellent question! Bit of history first. Before patch 4.0.1, Strength gave us 2 Attack Power in Catform. Agility gave us 1 Attack Power and a bit of Crit. On almost all gear levels, that bit of crit was better than flat attack power. Most druids stacked agility, and strength only really became an option at high levels of crit, so you saw a few druids sporting a +strength weapon at ICC-HC gear levels. Right now, during patch 4.0.1, the scaling is a bit different.

Since patch 4.0.1, both Agility and Strength give us 2 Attack Power in Cat Form, and Agility still gives that little bonus in crit. Agility now provides all the benefits from Strength, but with a few added extras. Therefor, Agility is now far, far better than strength. Even at high levels of crit, agility remains better. The "crit cap" is a softcap - and crit remains a damage increase, although a very small one, all the way till 100% (Which you won't reach really.) - Agility is now ALWAYS a better choice than strength.

It would also seem that I've accidentally written 'rake' instead of 'shred' in the prime glyph list. The three prime glyphs you should have are Rip, Shred, and either Savage Roar or Berserk, depending on fight and gear. Rake is a major glyph. If you have a major glyph spot left, feel free to take it if you want to. I personally don't mind mobs fleeing, and when they flee, the tank gets hit for a bit less as well. Just be careful and you'll be a-ok without.

Best of luck,
