Hello folks,

My GL asked me about druids immunity in bear forms. He was wondering if bringing me along on a 45 min baron run to tank the Baroness would be beneficial and specifically asked me about being immune to mind control.

I wasnt sure if a bear was immune to her MC or not so I thought Id ask you guys?

Thanks for any help on this.

Nope, not immune to mind control. I was MC'd my last Strat run and bear + immune to poly was not appreciated. /sigh

*chuckle* Okies. Thanks.

PS: The mental image of that is almost funny. Almost.

Note bears are still immune to Priest MC and backfires of the MC Cap.

As others have said, we're not immune to MC, and (when the baroness MCs us) the rest of the group usually takes ages wearing us down to remove the MC.

Druids do, however, make great tanks for a 45 minute run. :) A 45 minute run is usually chainpulling -- you're almost always in combat except for just before bosses (just pull the next mobs when you've got a good enough aggro hold on the current ones that the group can kill them off.) Having the ability to shift out and innervate the healer to save a drinking pause is nice. Being able to shift out and top off the party while the healer is drinking, is also nice. Frenzied regen is handy if you want to contine with the next group while the healer is drinking.

For the baroness, you probably want to fight her at the gate where you came in. Send a clothie to pull. By the time she reaches the gate, she'll probably MC the clothie (which you can get down very fast, instead of trying to wear you down), then go tank the boss (you'll probably kill her before the second MC.) :)
