Here's my
tank
.
I have about 105 frost emblems to spend. What should I get next?
I was going to get the
Cataclysmic chest
next, followed by the
Belt
and then
Kraken Gloves
.
I tend to do better getting the expensive frost purchases out of the way first for some reason. That and I got the
ToC 10 belt
last night, not really an upgrade but still.
My reasoning for waiting on the gloves is that VoA may drop the
T10 gloves
, sanc or not. Also I've been waiting for LDW25's
helm
to drop but with no luck. If I get the T10 gloves and the helm hasn't dropped, then I might go for the
T10 helm
to pair them up.
Sound road plan or should I get the belt/gloves first then the chest? Technically I get better stat gains from the belt/gloves purchase now. In the end though, it doesn't matter as I end up with the same stats.

Hey Lorkin,
2 notes and then a question.
1.) Your still under def 540 so maybe socket a +10/15 Def/Sta in your shoulders to match for the bonus.
2.) +10 Stats < +10/15 Dodge/Sta or Agi/Sta
3.) Are you killing saurfang? Will you be getting a 264 Tier token any time soon?
Cheers,
Hat

1) Im under 540 but am crit immune. Not the best way to go about it but I wont be one shotted.
2) I agree, I just wanted to fill the meta requirement on the belt which I knew was going to be replaced fairly soon.
3) Yes, the pugs I get into generally clear first wing on both 10 and 25 man ICC. 25 man ICC sometimes downs fester and rot, but it depends who I pug with. 10 man I generally clear 2nd wing if there's time.
This is my alt toon btw, my main is my hunter. Was just trying to get a tanking toon geared just incase the guild needed a spare tank for alt runs.

While I really really like the Tier 10 264 chest, Its another piece that doesn't have defense on it, so it would seem like the best thing to get right now would be the Cataclysmic Chestguard
Then see if you get a token to buy the T10 helmet and hope the T10 gloves drop for you.
Cheers,
Hat

Either of these options get you to 540 defense, or really close. I know it may work now, but just to be on the safe side, get 540 defense. He is on the safe side tho. What I, and you have forgotten, is that he is using the +30/15 Sta/Res shoulder enchant. That little bit of extra res pushes him over the % needed not to be Crit by bosses. Its dirty, but it works, and because it works, its Safe.
As he gets more direct upgrades to his gear he will go over 540 naturally, and then be able to drop some of his strait Def gems for a mix and a solid stam.
But as for right now, he is good.
Cheers,
Hat

I'd get the belt first (biggest upgrade). Then, get the Cataclysmic Chestguard.
In the meantime, hope for T10 gloves to drop in VoA, and helm from LDW.
Decided to take YJMark's advice and grab the belt first. Gonna save up my frost and should have enough for the chest next week. The Ret legs dropped in VoA, but I lost the roll.
