Defense at 80?Follow
Current uncritable def right now is 490, but isn't that based on mobs level 73? What would be the target def at level 80 be?
IIRC, you add +5 Defense per level, making 540 the minimum Defense for a level 80 Warrior or Paladin to be uncrittable against a level 83 mob. I'm not sure how this translates in terms of required +Defense Rating at level 80.
Druid tanks no longer require Defense Rating to be uncrittable; they can be uncrittable from talents alone.

Cool thanks a lot :) Been checking the loot tables in instances and it looks like this goal will be easy.

Assuming your defense skill is capped for level 80, you're looking at needing another 140 def skill to get to uncrittable. From some rough calculations this should be about 783 defense rating from gear to be uncrittable at 80.
The scary part is that I just threw together a set of tanking gear I looked up on wowhead and I'm only getting to around 611 defense rating before gems and enchants. And this a set entirely from heroics.
