    Naxx 10 Man ready?

    Hello guys, well i started reading TS like 2 weeks ago. So I´m kinda noob about it.

    The question is if I´m ready to Main-Tank Naxx 10 man because my Guild want me to do the job.

    Here is my armory Link:
    The World of Warcraft Armory

    I´m still undecided for Bracers enchant. I´m between +15Exp and waiting for the new +40Sta. Those bracers i got them from Naxx 25 Offtanking.

    Also I´m not really sure but I have seen a lot of people with the Titanium Chain in the main weapon instead of moongose. It´s a good option to rech for the hit cap?

    I hope you guys can help me.

    Your hit and expertise seem extremely low to me for a MT role, but I've been playing the 'touch em all' game on tanking stats for a warrior ever since LK hit. So many things to balance. You may be able to shore this up with just swapping some enchants or gems. I considered 5% each in hit/expertise to be my minimum for tanking heroics and raids and it served me well so far.

    Only recommendations I would make are probably personal preference. Swap your trinkets for stronger passives/clickables. Lavanthor's Talisman and Seal of the Pantheon are my current favorite's. Alternatives I would chase would be for +hit or +expertise.

    Also I have a slightly different take on the Prot tree in your spec. I would dump Imp Revenge and 1 point in Anticipation to max Shield Specialization.

    Titanium weapon chain is the defacto tanking weapon enchant as far as I'm concerned right now, unless you have somehow passed the hit cap on base gear. Relative to other slots, I would probably still leave the weapon chain in place and seek other mit/avoid/EH alternatives, as there aren't many on the weapon slot at this time.

    hello and thx for the feedback.
    Man you have any suggestion on gear to raise Hit and exp? (gem for it?, swap gear?)
    Also How many hit and Exp do I need?

    Mouse over your hit and expertise ratings to see your actual percentages. I try to maintain a 5% minimum in both areas, while obviously shooting for maxed EH and avoidance.

    I tend to spread things around, I have hit/expertise sprinkled all over my gear set, so changing out any one item doesnt gimp me in a given stat. Some people prefer to max the hell out of a given item, this is just my theory on chasing the balance blizz seems to want tanks shooting for in the new world.

    To answer the question more directly, figure out where you can afford a change in stats, drop in some hit/expertise rating. Enchants are particularly strong in these areas right now, so I would start there.

    The answer to your question is yes.

    I wish I could show the armory of the first time I mted the place. You're way better geared than I was then. I hit 80 Sunday night and was in there Monday night, I died a few times but it was just as much the healers as me. I dont want to sound elitist or whatever but the place isnt that hard at all, you wont be the stop gap.

    Personally I've found my health to be more than adequate and I'm at ~27k unbuffed I was gemming/enchanitng for def at first but now that gear is giving large enough numbers im using expertise enchants and expertise/stam gems. It just doesn't seem that packing on tons of stam is needed this time around.

    For the weapon im using the 26 (i think its 26 agility) but have been thinking about putting on a chain.

    As far as maxing shield over anticipation, 1% of pure avoidance > 1% chance to block ~1200 damage.

    My Armory if you wanted a reference. (specced for Malygos at the moment)

    "As far as maxing shield over anticipation, 1% of pure avoidance > 1% chance to block ~1200 damage."

    As a general theory I agree. But I noticed in pre-naxx itemization there is a decent amount of dodge available in trinkets and specific drops catered towards tanking. However there was not much block rating available so I weighted it a bit higher.

    Now that I'm getting through naxx I'm starting to get gear with block rating stacked and I can afford to move back into avoidance without breaking the balance.

    Also, I think I would value 1% block over avoidance in heriocs and large trash clearings. Blocks=damage shield crits=DW=dps=faster clears.

    I should also note that I have highly reliable extremely well geared and specced healers....self preservation should never be compromised if you need to have it =)
