With the removal of Rage of the Sleeper, we have lost one of our major defensive cooldowns (and our only baseline offensive cooldown). The most relevant changes to Guardian in the Pre-Patch are the loss of our artifact Claws of Ursoc, the reduction in tank threat generation, the updates to Ironfur and Frenzied Regeneration, and the addition of several spells to the global cooldown.

On our other guide pages, including Rotations, Talents & Builds, and Stat Priorities, you will find detailed recommendations on how to play your Guardian Druid, accounting for the changes shown here, during the 8.0 BFA pre-patch. However, we still retain the powers from legendaries, which will continue working up to level 115, creating some interesting situations, as some effects from legendaries became baseline effects or talents in BFA. Note that during pre-patch, while artifacts no longer work, we do not have our azerite powers yet, meaning this isn't the final picture for specs in BFA.
