Aaand now Feign Death is orange. I realize thinking of it only as a 'buy-me-a-couple-more-seconds' talent was the wrong way to go about it. It's synergy with Spirit Bond is incredibly strong and before level 20 you can use it to stay alive longer, dodge crucial heroics or just wreck the enemies team fight by forcing them to change targets in the heat of battle.
Thanks for the comments on the talent haha, even if you didn't like the talent either it led me to much better experimentation with the talent to see if it was worth green status.
After a little more tinkering, gonna make feign death green. There are definitely some times it can be a great pick-up, really depends more on how the enemy team plays rather than what composition they have. So that fits green better than red. (I sorta used flare as my benchmark for red status, a talent that is great in very specific circumstances)
Excellent points and I'll make sure to adjust my comment about Bestial Wrath. I definitely think Rexxar would work well for an off tank but why I think he works well for a main tank too is the overall tankiness of Misha allows you to use her not just to peel for teammates but Rexxar as well.
If enemies aren't focusing her then it is true that you lose some of the tankiness, I just feel by making her so durable you can pretty much charge her in any direction at any target without worrying about flamestrikes or blizzards killing her off.
I really appreciate the feedback. Also with Feign Death I marked it Red rather than Purple because of how effectively it can counter the Zeratuls and Novas that try to burst Rexxar down fast. Perhaps I should label it green since it may be better in more situations but since I use Red as a very limited situation color I figured it would fit.
Ps: my concerns in the last part are primarily focused on misha as a main tank. I can really see this build working very well as an off tank, where the main tank does most of the peel and keeps Rexxar save while Misha puts enormous pressure on the enemy backline with her solid damage and constant stuns.
Great guide! I think you mention a couple of very valid points a lot of people keep missing. I like the synergy between Aspect of the Beast and Borkskin in particular, giving you an insane spell shield uptime that cant be poked away.
A few comments though:
1. A lot of peopole seem to automatically assume this is some kind of vampiric (bear) assault, but its not! The healing is a fixed percentage of your max health per attack, not of the damage dealt. So Bestial wrath will not do anything for Mishas survivability.
2. Wildfire Bear does quite a decent amount more damage then the usual burning rage.
3. I share youre doubt about Feign Death, but i would mark it as a situational pick. The main weakness of a misha tank build seems to be enemys who can dive and kill rexxar fast. If an Illidan jumps on you, laying down for 5 full seconds gives your team plenty of time to react, and you can go on doing misha things. You can even activate bestial wrath if im not mistaken.
Im very curios if tanky Misha will work. Between all the damage reduction and the constant, substantial heals from mend pet Misha itself is very hard to bring down. With its short death timer you can go in basically completly fearless. And the amount of stuns you can bring in is impressive.
But the deciding factor will be how good you can protect Rexxar, and how well you can peel with the limited controll you got over Misha.
Maybe it will turn out to be a situational tank, dependening on the enemys dive-iness.
