Then my appolgies! I misinterpreted then ^^

Thanks for the info. I hope I can get it done this time.
Gimme a sec while I read this stuff through one more time and reforge so I can put some numbers.

I am kinda lost with basic %dodge/parry numbers but I will just read the stuff through again.

ugh. avoidance is at ~55% -_-.
Okay, failtank for a quite a while, I suppose.

Korrigan's fascination with kindergarten children is starting to worry me.

Do we need to call the FBI, or at least Chris Hansen maybe?

it is a little weird...

it is less about gear and more about the tank skill.

My dk is ilevel 355, 157k hps unbuffed, tons avoidence/armor, 80-110% mastery depending on what I want -> no issue at all with heroics.

However, my druid who just got 85 and is just starting out -> ilevel 133 approx, 150k hps buffed
-> but also, no issue at all. (ae threat is a tad annoying with a druid however post wotlk).


I would suggest try to target 140-150k hps with appropiate, mastery/avoidence depending on your class. Hps is still king at the moment, but he does have some brothers and sisters that like to come to the party.

You are ready once you are mostly in ilvl 333 gear from quest reward and some earlier instance run during leveling.

If both tank and healer are low in gear, get the DPS to use some crowd control abilities.

If CCs are not available due to weird LFD pairing, then only pull big pack of mobs when the oh-shit cooldowns are available for either tank or healer.

It's pretty straight-forward.

1. Get hit capped - 8% or 961
2. Get soft Exp of 26 (or 781) at a minimum but continue towards 55 (or 1652)
3. Work on total avoidance of 102.4%
4. Mastery is your friend as it drives Block

You don't want to even begin without 1 and 2 above, those are absurdly simple to reach.
Getting number 3 requires gearing and wise gemming/reforging choices.

Ensure you have a good rotation/priority system in place for both single target and aoe encounters.

Lastly, ensure your group has the basics well in hand. If you are relying on the DF for that, well, good luck.

I have zero troubles regarding keeping aggro.
I just don't know if the items from normal dungeons etc will bring me to that true basic ilvl needed for decent heroics. Aside to the fact of getting gems and enchants, I just don't see how it will hold out well enough.

If I remember correctly, certain pvp items even have more stam than the basic stuff you get from normal instances.

Although - A buddy just told me that the first mob groups in Shadowfang HC are brutal. So maybe I was standing against something that was clearly one of those crazy dps bombers mobs instead of the "standard dps" group.

And here you go with the kindergarten crap again. Here lies The_Korrigan, VN's longest lived troll.

Seriously, give it a rest already. My God. I'd rather believe anything G.W. Bush says than you... WTB /ignore for VN forums

I see I made a new friend... or the alt of an old one. Stay a while, you'll find a lot of kids of your age to play with here.



1 and 2 are definitely NOT a priority AT ALL. As I said, at the beginning, you may want to even reforge expertise and hit into avoidance for more survivability.

Go to Maintankadin, and learn your class. It literally takes as little as five minutes worth of reading to know which stats you need to aim for and in which order. But you can't be bothered before having your arse handed to you in a heroic.


Welcome to WoW where people who have no idea how to play their class can step into heroics and burden four other people.
