Min Talents in Prot for Tanking at 70Follow

#1 Nov 21 2007 at 8:41 PM Rating: Decent
Title says it all.

Keep in mind, I'm refering to non-heroics and raids. Pre-patch 2.3 I was a fury/arms warrior that no one would pick up as a tank for instances. Rather frustrating, so I respec'd to protection.

Really, I know that I can tank without being protection spec. I just want to have enough points so that the numbnuts whom I have to join in order to get my gear will be satisfied.

Any help?

I'd say for the sake of safety that something such as this will do, but won't do extraordinarily well. Imp Threat from Bloodthirst + MS, with the added 15% threat bonus

Played with a calculator. Trying to figure out a decent spec that allows me to dps well (not great, but well) and still tank 5 mans when called upon.

I could do a variant of that by doing imp slam w/2h instead of dual wield, but again, looking to try and get as much dps as possible.

Here's another stab at it from the arms point of view

If those points in protection along with using either BT or MS for increased threat via TM are adequate for tanking, then I might give it a shot.

I say any instance is tankable without protection as long as it is not heroic. But thats just me.
