What are the minimum stats needed to tank heroics?
Def -
Dodge -
Parry -
Sta -
I ask because I thought I had geared up enough but my first attempt at tanking in Heroic UK was a miserable failure. I didn't have problems maintaining aggro but the healer was simply unable to keep me alive during multiple mob pulls. Here's my
armory
. I must admit I'm more used to Unholy dps from leveling than frost tanking and my rotations could use a lot more practice. Am I undergeared to start tanking heroics or was the healer lacking? My feeling is I need better gear. I'm holding off on enchants because my gear is too low.
Your spec is okay, but the problem is you have absolutely no armor. 13k armor and 18k health are way way too low for Heroics. You should stock up on some of the pre heroic Items listed on the first page. Get your rep up and don't run heroics as tank till your gear is alot better. I would shoot for 20-23k health and 22k armor minimum before tanking heroics, as well as 540 defense. You have some lvl 77 gear that should be replaced as soon as you can. Also the polearm from Kaluak rep is one of the best tanking weapons out there, go get it.
