DPS bracers for tanking.

[whiskeyjack]

Now i just picked up these bracers on a naxx 25 run as no one else wanted them.I just wanted to get peoples thought on there viability as tanking bracers due to the +hit/exp on them.
Bracers of Lost Sentiments - Item - World of Warcraft

Now i am currently wearing
Minion Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft

But believe i can replace the stats lost with gemming (bar the parry).

Any thought much appreciated.

p.s. Am a BS so get an extra socket and the minion bracers have still only got the +15 exp. ench due to not being sure on whether im keeping the bracers or not

You can rock em as long as you got good healers and you upkeep your 540 def.

I would use minion bracers for patchwerk/saphh/KT/Maly and Sarth 2D+.

Was always going to keep to the 540 def

And although we have clearded Naxx we've not moved past Sarth +1 or malygos yet so.....
As to Patch im normally MT with ferals as OT so the avoidance isn't as neccessary although if i go hateful eater then i generally go max avoidance and rotate trinkets/last stand (have the glyph)

Thx Wj

(as to the quick reply.Am at work and my own boss and things are slow in January :P)

I got both bracers you linked up there, and I use the dps ones like 95% of the time for tanking.
