Pre raid tank gear

Pre-raid lvl 70 tank gear

Found this post by Sabeth (of Hydraxis) on the warrior class forums over at www.worldofwarcraft.com. Should be safe there, but things happen. Bad things. In case said bad things happen to this post, I have saved my very own version of it here.

Lvl 70 Gear List

Here is a list of gear that can be obtained without stepping into a 25-man raid zone. Items are listed by item slot and, loosely, in order of personal preference. Comparing items is much harder than it used to be before the x-pac, so please do not take the order of listing too seriously. Item quality is based on the rating system as follows (at Level 70): 60 Defense Rating = 1% dodge/block/parry 18.9 Dodge Rating = 1% dodge 31.5 Parry Rating = 1% parry 7.8 Block Rating = 1% block 15.8 Hit Rating = 1% hit chance 22.1 Crit Rating = 1% crit I will try to keep this updated daily. Please post any missing items and/or information. Also, information on better/alternative enchants and leg/shoulder/helm enchants would be appreciated. Coming soon: Endgame DPS gear, resistance gear, and weapons. TANKING Shield 1. Crest of the Sha’tar – http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29176 Exalted Reward with The Sha’tar 2.
