How good is tempered titansteel helm?

[Boneyshanks]

So with the addition of a meta socket to Tempered Titansteel Helm does it move up Demogs list in terms of best tanking gear?

It's currently ranked 4th does that -- wondering if that consider the meta?

[loquatious]

Helm of Vital Protection is still #1

I think Tempered Titansteel Helm should be 2 or 3

Thanes tainted greathelm also includes a meta + yellow
Tempered compared to thane's has
+51 more stam,
+6 more defense
-39 dodge
-44 parry

Alot will depend on the stat adjustments of the Titansteel helm.

I read no stat adjustment, just adding meta/blue... where did you read they are adjusting the def?

[Kilrum]

Not the def, but the strength or stam stats. I will find the link and post it.

[Shadevarr]

The stats are not being reduced from what has been reported from the PTR.

the extra stam is priceless starting out for the Titansteel Helm imo, I basically got to 24k unbuffed with just craftable gear, making myself look appealing for Heroics. As a Healer anyone under that made me wanna leave.
