I've tanked pretty much everything in kara now, and done a fair few heroics.

I can get to uncrushable now (means i lose coming close to 1k HP, so i have gear ready when i get upgrades). Recently i've been starting to build up more shield block value. Is this a good idea to do? Or better to just get dodge.

Also i've got 64 badges of justice with 5 more coming today. Any items you would really recomend buying? Or would it be best to wait for patch 2.4?

Thanks

You've replaced all of the STRONG pre-raid gear (except the legs.. Timewarden's are pretty mean :D) with something a *smidge* better, but havn't touched any of the CRAZY WEAK stuff that you pretty much "have" to take to get in the door...

Meaning:

Shoulder, chest, back, belt.

The hands, legs, head, trinkets and ESPECIALLY wrist are the strongest pieces you have when you start and the early upgrades are (though still upgrades) marginal. Looking into some of those other pieces would help for crushability (without having to sacrifice)...

I love that Darkmoon card, it's an EXCELLENT threat trinket with tons of stamina attached to it, but if crushability is an issue an avoidence trinket might do you more good. Although I'd drop the Compass before the Darkmoon.

I'd say, try to round out your set by replacing some of those weak entry level pieces so that you don't have to sacrifice so much to reach uncrushable first.

does this mean you run around crushable or not?? i cant see armory at work cause comp not working right today. even though we block alot i think dodge is good to pick up. total miss over just lowering block i would say. i only have like 211 block i'm wanting to say. then again i'm no raid gear yet and no heroic. i sit at 10.5k hp and like 11k armor ucritable and uncrushable.

Thanks for the replies.

On everything bar raid bosses i am generally crushable. On boss encounters i adjust my gear so i am "just" uncrushable (inc use on potions and food buffs - agility).

I sit at 12.5k, 14.5k (no dev aura) armor unbuffed normally. I've started gonig for block value a bit where i used to avoid it. Is good as i'm blocking about 50% of attacks (so against a hit of 1000, 20 block valueavoids me 10 damage, 1% dodge (which is the more expensive item stat) also avoids 10 in the long run). Am looking to up my block rating a fair bit (hoping for SH trinket) which should take me to uncrushable easily so i can start sorting out more stam gems.

What heroic badge item would you recomend getting? Am leaning towards the chest but don't know to wait for 2.4 or not.

I think the current badge chest is the best badge gear available for a pally tank (unless you don't have the libram of repentance yet). I haven't really decided about the 2.4 chest as I don't seem to need all that spell hit rating. I think I'd rather have the dodge on the current one. That being said, the 2.4 'warrior' tanking chest looks pretty good.
