Hey all,
I'm currently flip flopping between tanking and Fury DPSing for my guilds raiding needs. We just acquired a few DPS'ers so bank to tanking for the time being.
saying that i picked up a new chest plate "FINALLY" getting rid of that damn Aldor exalted tanking chest (I've had really bad luck replacing that bad boy.)
I've always enchanted +150 health on my tanking chest plates. I never even thought about it, i just slapped it on there.
Just trolling around in the trade skills section this morning, does anyone think that the +6 all stats (Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats) or the +150 HP Enchant is the better choice?
+6 all stats seems worth it, but i think i'm missing some minor point that makes +150 HP the better choice.
Thanks.
Edit for poor speeeeeling. :P

For progression raiding, stamina > everything. Since you just replaced your aldor tanking chestpiece, I can only assume that you're still progressing. It's not like you just got a Chestguard of the Warlord or something. My guess is maybe you got a Jade-Skull Breastplate, or possibly Panzar'Thar or Chestguard of the Stoic Guardian. If ALL you're doing is Karazhan, and you're not doing anything in ZA, SSC, TK, then +6 all stats -might- be ok. I say might because I still don't see the logic all that much. 60 health and a miniscule amount of dodge is not really that great for tanking. Truth be told though, I can't imagine ever enchanting my chest with anything other than +150 health.
youre correct, we are still progressing.
The guild i'm in is just starting SSC tomorrow night for the 1st time actually.
i have had horrible luck replacing the aldor chest, (the warrior chest dont want to drop off of mag and nightbane was being stingy). i was saving badges for the Stoic guardian, but i might hold off on that for other things now.
Finally last night nightbane coughed up the Panzar'Thar cheat plate.
i asked the question because, honestly, i never thought about it and just have always slapped the +150 (which i'll most likely still do)
Thanks though.

IMO if you've got enough for the stoic guardian, just hold them until you get 25 more and get the 100 badge chest. Or if you have Panzar'Thar now, maybe just get the 100 badge legs instead.
yea thats what i was thinking, grabbing the legs.
i think i have 85 badges saved so far.
either that or grabbing a few lower priced ones current badge gear pieces.
either way i have a few weeks before the guy is unlocked on our server to decide.

definitely +150 health for tanking, as Duvar said , it is a miniscule bit of dodge, that is far outweighed by the extra hp (HP mind you, not stam, so not boosted by gotw/bok )
now you have panzar'thar i would definitely reccomend getting the badge legs/waist as it really is a great tank chest (stick 3SsoE in there and your laughing)

They are the Solid Star of Elune (+12 Stam gems).
ummmm, +15 Defense
6 to stats is nice, 150 to health is so 2007. Make friends with an enchanter who is honored with the Shattered Sun Offensive.

Ahhh solid stars.
i just didn't understand the abbreviation there.
i think every slot in my armor has one.
+15 Defense?
really?
i'm way over the 490 cap as it is. i know the stats +d provides, but i stopped stacking it a long while ago.

Addition +Def adds quite a bit to your total mitigation as well.
Are you way over the cap with gear alone, or with trinkets and gems? If you are still using them to hit your cap, you might be able to change them out with the +12 stam gems and stamina heavy trinkets.

I have to disagree with this. health > everything. There are only a few exceptions to this:
1) You can't get 490 defense from gear, in which case I have to wonder how you even have 100 badges in the first place.
2) You're in Sunwell, in which case you want to start stacking avoidance. But in that case, I have to wonder why you don't already have better armor than the badge gear
3) Eternal Earthstorm Diamond > Powerful Earthstorm Diamond

just browsing some of the top guilds on my server, they all have the +150 to chest.
Which is what i got last night.
i never whent with the Eternal Earthstorm Diamond, because i dont have a yellow gem. i think i have all Solid Stars equipped.
was that directed at me?
i'm not raiding sunwell, the guild im in is on T5 content now.
