Hello all.
I was looking for some opinions on what stats a Warrior should have before first attempting H-ToC?
- Defense 535+?
- Armor: 25K?
- Health 30K?
- Avoidance: 40%?
Any input welcome.

I tank with 32k unbuffed health and around 40% avoidance just fine. Obviously you need to be uncrittable but then it's just a heroic slightly harder than the others.

I roll with 31K unbuffed, ~43% avoidance, and ~25K armor, and no issues. But, I've never done it with any other/lesser gear, so I dunno what the bare minimums would be. But if you have stats similar to the ones you're asking about, you should be fine.

well, heroic trial can be a pain in the rear if you get the wrong group. if the dps is crappy, the fights are going to take forever, and its pretty healing intensive.. (at least thats what i thought on my pally).
i dont think there is a "minimum" you need - it all depends on the group. (but the more the better ^^)

update on this: I was able to tank H-Toc for the first time the other night. It went ok.
My stats are as follows
HP: 29k
Armor: 24.5k
Def/Res: 544/15
Avoidance: 46.55%
I still needed to have a bunch of stuff socketed, for stamina even (boggle). And i need to rearrange gems for the overage on defense.
I did go down during the 3 champs (which was a not-too-bad combo: hunter, mage, rogue) but it was at the end, and the dps was able to power through. Eadric was a walk in the park, and the BK didn't put up much of a fight, i did have to pop last stand/shield wall during phase 3, as i got marked for death.
looking forward for the next trip.. just crossing my fingers not to get the warrior champion.

It's funny though, my pally healer went into h-Toc and was told 'it's really hard for healers'. But pretty quickly i realized that , yeah it's pretty hard on healers, because noone interrupts the heals, the tank doesn't disarm bladestorm (which the dps is more than happy to stand in), and everyone runs to the green goo like it's friggin halloween candy.
Yeah damn right it's hard on the healer when people refuse to use utility abilities like Kick, Counterspell, Blink, Disarm, Dismantle, Blind, Shocks, etc etc etc etc.
Funny though, that when i try to go to Htoc with my tank, i get told its really hard on the tank. damn right it's hard when the priest gets feared on the first nightmare, the mage runs across the room when chased by ghouls instead of frost nova, and the paladin doesn't pop cooldowns when the tank is marked.
=) pugging at its best.
