Quote from the very same wowhead link you pasted:
"Effects like Armored to the teeth are based on a server side armor stat update which happens every 15 or 20 seconds where the server checks your armor and recalculates any buffs you get from that. If you pop the trinket and get lucky with the server side armor update right after you use the trinket you will get the increased attack power until the server checks your armor again."

NM, not worth the headache of pointing out how folks might want multiple more reliable sources to verify an in game mechanic.

Thanks for the reply, and thanks for quoting the very same comment that made me want to come here and ask the question I did.

Am I ready to start tanking in Naxx 10/25? I'm guessing I need a few heroic/badge pieces and upgrades on the trinkets before I would start in there....

off course you are ready, you are def capped, now its just matter of raising hp and avoidance. Try 10 man first so you get better gear there(but you can go 25 as well)

Does crit reduction from defense apply to players in PvP, and if so does it also apply to spells cast.

I ask because I've generally been wearing tanking gear for Arenas, and I've got some crafted PvP gear that might be more useful.

@mini and Phatomus, there is a armory suggestions and ratings forum that you can go to and post your armory link.

Hi, few tanking questions if anyone can help... Currently blood specd for tanking (( 47/14/10 )) I am Duel Wield Tanking (( Armory if interested, though doesn't show frost pres - Armory!! ))


I'm sitting at 31.1K life unbuffed
(Using HoW)
28.32% dodge
21.51% parry (without blade barrier up)

basically my question to the stats i posted above, since +Hit Rating is an issue for DWing, i keep getting told to of course get more Hit Rating, should i be replacing any of my dodge gems, etc on +hit/exp (at 5% exp anyways)?

2nd question, do i NEED 541def if i also have the Sigil that grants more def rating, or can i drop some def rating (For example, my belt has 2x 16def gems) which i could xchange for hit and help my hit rating and threat generation?

3rd question (sorry...have had these questions for awhile...)
Since my parry is at 21.51%, should i runeforge my Mainhand with maybe... [ Rune of the Fallen Crusader ] i ask this because i figured if i gain str, str gives me parry anyways, and I'd possibly gain threat since I will be hitting harder?

If this is the wrong section, plz let me kno and I'll post in the correct section (New to forums)

Thank you.

Defense skill only works against physical attacks. Keep in mind that defense skill is the exact oposite (and counter) to weapon skills.

Uh... no, I'm pretty sure defense applies to players in PvP (100% sure) as well as spells cast (remember Hydross? Remember getting uncrittable for him?)

Since you technically only need 540 def to start raiding, I guess you are ready. But I suggest replacing those trinkets as soon as possible, and running a lot of heroics, since there's a lot of upgrades for you in there.

It does apply to pvp melee, but are you sure about spells? The hydross attack was a melee attack that did frost damage, it wasn't really a spell (since mob spells cannot crit).

Wowwiki defines defense as "Defense is a skill that helps prevent physical damage by reducing the chance to be hit or critically hit. Additionally, it also increases block, dodge and parry"

Now blizzard tooltips have been wrong before but the Defense tooltip in no way mentions that it only works on physical damage. Honestly the only way to prove/disprove this one will be with duals with a caster.
