Hey Guardian Druids. Here’s a change that didn’t make it into today’s build, but we’re planning for a soon upcoming build:

• Critical Strike is not currently very valuable, defensively, for Guardian Druids. We’ll be adding a passive Critical Strike -> Dodge conversion (rating to rating, not % to %) to solve this, similar to how Protection Warriors, Protection Paladins, and Blood Death Knights have Critical Strike -> Parry.

Keep that in mind for feedback on this build! Thanks!

It's indeed a rather plain defensive interaction with Critical Strike, but it works solidly, and we feel like Guardians have enough going on baseline to not need some complex mechanic. In general, having a way for tanks to favor avoidance is a playstyle we prefer to support.
