hi,

is there anything i can improve?

note: just started again after a break since bc!

- farming tol barad for the trinket atm
- im working on mf dailies for the bs sword
- i want to start zg/za this evening -> never been there before (except the old ones) but should have access to loot from now on if i can find a proper group without problems to take a tank with them not knowing the instance
- with zg/za ill get more points/week so i should have the chest/legs pretty soon for valor points
- since i started again from 0 i dont have 50k gold to spend for 378 boots/ 359 shoulders+shield and the heroic grim batol shoulders refused to drop so far :/
- cant think of a better helm avaible for me..is there any improvement?
- i have no access atm to any kind of raid..everybody only wants clear exp etc and my guild is just me and 2 rl friends still playing in the 70s + its the first time they play wow at all =(
- spec is 5 man atm...for raids it would be a bit different ofc!

If yo're doing what you say above then its not bad!

There is some 353 ilvl stuff you can nab from them though, a tanking sword and shoulders :)

Apart from that its good, you are reforging okay and have lots of mastery - yum!


As for your spec, spec out of deep wounds and put those points into incite :)

But rate me next time and don't forget me ;(


I think if youre tanking Firelands and have really high ilvl gear, you must be good :D i tanked only Shannox normal, and still it was hard to survive, but we killed him :) I just wanted to know if someone have some tips, what works better for bare durids :P

Reforge a bit less dodge / expertise to parry + mastery and you're good to go :)

don't be forgettin' about rating me.

Get mirror from tol barad, its awesome - running with double stam trinkets is not that great for damage smoothing - also you should not reforge so much dodge - you want it closer to parry.

Reforge hit to mastery on back.
Expertise to parry on hat.
Also you've gone for 15stam bonus on shoulders but put 2 pure gems into chest to negate 30 stam bonus - change those around for more hp.


And as to your comments to me: I don't get it - I can't reforge any expertise away since its already done :)

@Hayleigh

drop mining to another character so you can get another proffesion(enchanting, JC etc) also, you should drop your parry about 150 ish lower than dodge and reforge it to something more usefull for you since whenever you're raiding you will have your warrior shout or horns of winter. you will also get about 58 rating from kings/GotW that way you have optimal diminishing returns :) other than that i cant really help you with warriors. Since everything you are doing seems like the right thing. You got high mastery and a i've mentioned the Dodge parry. Your enchants are good but i cant comment on your glyphs at all^^; all in all 9.8/10

Nothing to say lol, epic dk tank :) (10/10 rating if you like that sort of thing)

(When saying improvements I know my reforges are not good atm, I can't play till the 21st so yeah give advice about fine tuning.)

EDIT: Ssorry forgot to say, I have lost rolls every time on shoulders, Tier 11, BoT, Tier 12 and even BwD, I have lost all the rolls, its annoying and I have not killed posidos so yeah stuck with this !@#$.

Dont really know that much bout palas, but looks pretty good. The only thing i would change is the gem in shoulders, but that's not that big of a deal. And m8, i too know the feeling of losing the roll on shoulder tokens, and i just recently lost a roll for the plate shoulders that drop from Alysrazor. 10/10.

I dont see anything wrong with your character, 10/10. Just reforge into hit and/or expertise if you are having trouble with holding threat.

Only the shoulders left & you're ready for Deathwing in the next patch.

@ I got massive unfortune in ZG/ZA with the loot drops, either a plate dps class take's em, or they won't even drop.

Loged out in the right gear, so would be happy to get some insight :)

I know my helmet is bad and that my gloves need an update and I'm one trinket short.
Answer, switched from resto shaman to this char for tanking just 4 weeks ago, so time hasn't been enough to get Hellscream trinket etc.

But working on it, so any input on what to improve is appriciated :)

Please rate :)=

Drop the strength ring.
All the 365 rings you can get from molten front and the 359 earthen ring rep are better than a str one.. especially one with hit.

good parry/dodge ratings, just need some gear

drop the dnd glyph for death coil glyph

i know the boe 378 rings kinda sucks, im better off with the 365 parry/mastery one :D

Why would I want to drop d&d glyph when I do not raid and it is the best glyph for 5 man.. especially since I overgear them and the only real use I have for lichborne is when I solo bc raids..
As for an improvement: My opinion is that for all classes without a speed increase it is always better to use the speed enchant..15 mastery does not match running faster:)
