Heroics tend to hurt =(

Post by Kyearema

Recently tried out some heroics(sp<week ago> and sv<yesterday>) and I'm fairly sure the only reason it worked out was because the healer was well geared.

I am not uncrushable yet but i'm working on the badges for the libram, I'm currently at 100.01 avoidance. My defense is 508 with 11043 armor and 11177hp unbuffed. My sword, needs the spell damage enchant and bracers need the stam. I'm thinking of putting agi on my gloves. Anyways according to what i got from the pally guide I should be okay.

SP i will admit I didn't really use cc till the second boss which was fairly stupid of me and my avoidance at that time was at like 85-90 or something like that. In SV i was geared in what i have now and was getting hit for about 1.5k+ on normal mobs. That just sounds a tad high according to the guide and I was wondering if I had something wrong. =(

quite frankly, I'm impressed with your gear if it's your first time attempting heroics, it could be better, but so can everyone else.

I think the hardest part about heroics is that people tend to underestimate it, yes, it's been nerfed to no end, however, heroics are still heroics.

SV has a clearcut caster and melee mobs, it's not strange that the normal mobs are hitting you for 1.5k damage.

as for your talent,

it's my personal belief that toughness > anticipation, since you can easily grab the tidbit of defense on gear
Improved Judgement should be maxed out instead of Seal of Command
since you're a bloodelf, if you need to DPS, you can always rely on Seal of Blood.

a bit about your gear,

try to get the Crest of Sha'tar, nice customizable shield, no heroics needed
replace the 30 defense trinket with the Figurine of the Colossus from Shattered Halls
Warchief's Mantle is nice for stamina and parry, but Defense will give you more avoidance point for point, so try for Bold or Righteous, or get fanblade ASAP
the Steam-hinge necklace is nice, it makes a nice AoE tanking set but pure avoidance will give you more of a bonus in the long run unless you need it to be uncrushable, so grab a Strength of the untamed or Barbed Chocker of Discipline from Maiden

I don't believe that the changes are mandatory, but I think this will assist you somewhat.

If I may, I have a bit of a related question. Is it possible to do / start kara in this kind of gear? How hard does the bosses hit in kara, compared to the average boss / hard hitting trash in heroics?

Yes, I started Karazhan as an offtank with 9.5k hp and 80% avoidance, but taht was before the changes to Combat expertise
