Ehhh...dodge?Follow

I am still leveling but I recall a blue post stating Naxx is the new Kara.

Do you have enough health and armor for Naxx/heroics?

Did you have 40-50% dodge going into Kara?

Or are you spoiled by tBC end game gear?

Right now self buffed in bear I'm at 25k health, ~26k armor, and the previously mentioned 30% dodge. That's still with mostly level 70 epics. The upgrades are coming faster now, however, and with those will likely come a drop in my dodge%...the lowest it can currently go appears to be down to 27% if I dropped my dodge rating altogether. Reviewing gear options going forward, I'm not seeing a whole lot that would contribute more to my dodge percent. If we're talking about a goal of 40% dodge at some point in WotLK, that works out to an additional 400 dodge rating (give or take) and with the exception of accessories, there is almost no dodge rating on gear at all. The only option for more dodge will come from gems/enchants, and even then it'll be an enormous stretch.

Don't forget that 35.73 Agi = 1% dodge as well. Too as lesser extent, we will also get some dodge and miss from defense which we will probably end up with whether we want it or not. I don't think it will be too long before we start hitting those levels again. Remember, once we get to that base level of stam we need, all we really have to stack is Agi, Dodge & Def (Expertise & Hit if we need threat), so it will be natural for our dodge% to start to rise as we go through T8 & T9.
