    Thick Hide is a passive druid ability learned at level 10 for druids who have chosen the Guardian specialization

    Notes[]

    Bear form (Classic)[]

    In WoW Classic and original versions after 1.2, Thick Hide does/did stack with bear form contribution to armor and is multiplicative, so that armor bonus is: [white armor from items] * [bear form multiplier] * [thick hide multiplier] + [any other base armor] + [green or other armor on items] = final unbuffed and otherwise unmodified armor contribution. So in 1.12 for example: 4.6 (final dire) * 1.1 (5 points thick hide) = 5.06, and therefore 5.06 * white item armor + other armor = final unbuffed bear armor.

    All forms (Classic)[]

    Thick Hide works in all druid forms in Classic including "human" or normal druid form, and in retail until patches much later as a 10% bonus to armor from items as explained above, but without the bear form multiplier.
