85 twink warrior

[Volsci]

Hey all;

I'm almost to 85 on the protection warrior that I rolled.

I'm going to be tanking for some friends & soloing old content - the tanking I'm picking up pretty easily, but gearwise, I have no idea what I am looking for. Noxxic tells me I want stam > mastery > parry > dodge. Alas, stats stack so heavily here that I am not sure if this holds true for the 85s.


So, would anyone mind suggesting me a 415 "of the _____", particular blue pieces, raid gear to look for, etc?


Much appreciated,
_Genocist

It depends, you can choose to stack stamina to get bigger second wind heals. Or you can choose to go avoidance heavy. The crafted gear you look for would be of the Guardian. Here is a profile I made on WoWhead (I like wowhead profiler over chardev): Profile. I like the mix of stamina and avoidance.

270 stam socket bonus in the helm that you didn't gem for?

I'll make you a chardev.

However, required gear is most likely 416 souldrinker and 2pc prot tier. Both are godly for prot warrior survival.

Hmmm... good eye, didn't look at the bonus. I didn't really look at DS HC gear. But I guess the set I made is a good replacement if you haven't been able to do DS HC

also, colossus enchant is way better than windsong for tanking.

If the content challenges you, sure. However, we're talking about twinks, where the content isn't challenging. Weapon enchant comes down to whatever you like, the difference is minimal at 85.

exacly we're talking about twinking, wich means getting the best gear and enchants possible. If he dosnt think the content is challenging enough and dosnt want beeing able to taking harder hits he should rather go for dancing steel wich will boost his damage a lot more than windsong will. So tecnically windsong will fail in every aspect of tanking anyways.
