TBC Classic Warrior Nature Resistance Gear Guide

Nature resistance gear will be needed in particular by the tank assigned to tanking Hydross the Unstable during his Nature Form phase. During this phase his melee attacks deal high Nature damage, so you will want a tank wearing a high amount of Nature resistance gear. This gear may also be used by an off tank who is assigned to tanking his adds, as they also deal Nature damage, but is not required. It may be useful for a DPS player to also know about some of these items.

All of the Epic-level Nature protection gear in TBC Classic is acquired via crafting. Some pieces are made by Blacksmithing, while a couple are made by Jewelcrafting. Combining these pieces of gear, some enchants, consumables, and raid buffs, you should easily be able to reach an acceptable level of Nature resistance.

In TBC Classic, the resistance cap for players against bosses is 365. Anything past 365 will be wasted. Combine the options listed below with your current gear to make the best set possible while maintaining the Defense cap (490) and staying as close to 365 as possible.

Item	Nature Resistance	Slot	Source
Wildguard Helm	50	Head	Wildguard Helm — Blacksmithing
Pendant of Withering	30	Neck	Pendant of Withering — Jewelcrafting
Wildguard Breastplate	60	Chest	Wildguard Breastplate — Blacksmithing
Wildguard Leggings	60	Legs	Wildguard Leggings — Blacksmithing
The Natural Ward	35	Finger	The Natural Ward — Jewelcrafting

In addition to the Nature resistance gear shown above, there are a handful of enchants that players can use to further increase their Nature resistance if needed.

• Glyph of Nature Warding
• Inscription of Endurance
• Nature Armor Kit
• Enchant Cloak - Greater Nature Resistance
• Enchant Shield - Resistance
• Savage Guard
• Void Sphere

Players can also find Nature resistance through consumables. Some of these offer additional resistances, while some will absorb a moderate amount of Nature damage.

• Flask of Chromatic Wonder
• Broiled Bloodfin
• Major Nature Protection Potion

Lastly, one of the best ways to get some easy Nature resistance is to use some of the party-wide buffs available to your raid. Multiple different classes can buff you with up to 70 Nature resistance by simply using some of their lesser-used abilities. These abilities do not stack; only the strongest one will be applied.

• Gift of the Wild
• Aspect of the Wild
• Nature Resistance Totem
