I have started noticing a severe change in how tanking goes once I hit 50.
Mobs hit hard and I take lots of damage. I mean there has been several times where my wife was unable to keep me alive without me drinking the biggest pot I had as the mobs were just tearing me apart.
This usually involves 3-5 mob pulls where I have to pop challenging shout and a taunt to ensure I have everyone.
this is where the problem lies. I have the tanking helm from Mara that has +10 defense rating and +10 stam and higher armor class rating. I kept that just incase as I am an impale arms warrior. (Already started running into problems due to impale but nothing major that an easy kill in pvp doesn't fix.)
I also just got the helm that drops in BRD... can't remember the name atm but its like +stam +agil +str armor.
basically I am wondering if this is the time to start collecting my tanking gear so I can be an efficient tank.
I said when the run was over... "damn I take a lot of damage." and the off healer said, "yeah you do but your a good tank."
Can I get help to be a better tank?
How much defense rating should I have in BRD to keep from getting pulverized? Is this the time I have to decide to respec or just deal?
Thanks for your time.
