Why is my hp is so low?

[Microb]

Hi everybody !
First of all, I leveled 80 a few days ago on my warrior. I was wondering if Im geared enough to tank heroics. I almost got def caped (547) and I still only got 21.5k So I dont know what is wrong.
Please help me

It is just gear, Microb. You can tank the easy heroics. Make sure that you wear your tabards to get those to exalted.

It's the gear. I cashed in after saving up forever and bought a few pieces and gemmed up. Anyway, I am on the same path starting to tank more heroics, and I was 520 or so unbuffed and it sucked. HP was low and def was close but no cigar. Now I suddenly shot to like 555-560 with big jump in HP to boot, and what difference it makes. You will get there soon. Good luck!

You are geared enough for heroics, the gear will come in time, after running heroics, then some 10man raids, then 25man raids. You can't expect to have +30k HP and tons of stats right before hiting 80. Maybe you should check Gear & Enchanting Discussion - TankSpot there are some stickys about gearing.

check this: Orly Factor - Beginning Your Tanking Career, Heroic Gear and this Maintankadin :: View topic - Tanking Gear from Level 80 Instances for Beta Testing for more ideas.

You're actually quite a ways over the defense 'cap' so maybe change some gem/enchants to stamina.

535 - minimum for heroics
540 - minimum for raids

A major reason is that you have a lot of unenchanted or poorly enchanted items. If you follow the link, you will see a list of your gear and will see which items have missing or lacking enchants.

That said, your health is not horribly low. You likely won't be able to get much higher than 23k unbuffed health in mostly blues. On the other hand, 23k unbuffed health is perfectly fine for heroics.

Just run a couple regular instances to get your gear started out till you reach 535 defence the "heroic defence cap" then run heroics and improve your blue gear with epics and stack up on Emblems of Heroisum and get your gear from the heroics and the Emblems

I can tell you what i told my guildies, i would rather have defense over stamina, but, if u wish to be that 30k unbuffed tank, thats just enchanting, and certain gear, if you look in wowhead or a site like that, you can find where certain things drop, a good ring is the hemoraging circle. link here ->Hemorrhaging Circle - Item - World of Warcraft which drops in Heroic Gun'drak.

Gems are a great way to get that extra stamina. if you have enough stone keepers shards you can go to winter grasp and get some enchants from the guy on the mammoth, (i forgot his name) and if u have a good guild that already has a mt, maybey they will let u dps, while you still are aloud to roll on the tank gear that drops, alot of tanks do heroic Utgarde pinacle, for the red sword of courage, linked here -> Red Sword of Courage - Thottbot: World of Warcraft . i hope this helps
