Subject: Gear Guide for plate tank(not death knight) Sun Dec 13, 2009 7:03 am
This is a guide aimed for plate classes wanting to tank at lvl80. Unlike a spellcasting dpser tanks have defense rating as their main priority. An able tank should have these minimum stats 25000hp unbuffed 540 defense(that is 689 defense rating) 20% dodge, parry and block
By going by those basics you can then start making your gear build for tanking naxx. And also focus your aim when looking for gear so it go faster and easier. Althou after looking up every nice drop for a tank i figured that there arent exactly much to choose from. Wyrmrest seem to be a good faction to rep grind with for starters and Utgarde/Nexus Seem to b the main instances for you to run. If you have any suggestions on things i could add to this topic feel free to reply.
Trinket: Well trinkets are completely up to what u want(again) The Darkmoon card trinkets are nice but costly Seal of the Pantheon is nice if u get it to drop in Halls of Lightning normal Valor Medal of the First War Is nice if u lack dodge and can be bought with emblems Sphere of Red Dragon's Blood Drops in Nexus heroic and is nice if you lack threat or hit rating.
