what's the armor cap anyway? I think I heard it was like 75%

I know there's better out there but here's mine from about 2 weeks ago (I've gotten better armor since then):

with my new set I hit 39k armor with trinkets

[Cunnelly]

How do you only have 33k stamina?

33k stam would be a lot of health

Anyway, my alt who happens to be a tank (And a very undergeared one at that, only around 4.3k GS), has 62.12% physical damage reduction unbuffed.

Is 33.000 health a bad thing in heroics?

Didnt you know the formular? Its the 80M+GS*N-Rule.

Say, your wow's version number is 3.3
That makes M = 3, N = 3

And this is the formular itself

PlayerLevel * 100 * M + N * AverageGearScore

with numbers, this is
80 * 100 * 3 + 3 * 4500 = 24.000 + 13.500 = 37.500 lifepoints as a minimum to tank utgarde keep.

Lack of keybindings makes eyes bleed!

but euhm, i think the cap is 75% yes. so the closer you are to it the beter ^_______^

[Deleted]

Hurr durr you're wrong.

The Armor cap of 75% you see only applies to monsters equal your lvl. The actual cap is something like 12500 armor above the time where your tooltip remains unchanged.

[Nillo]

The cap is 75%, which is ~ 50k armor against lvl 83 mobs.

[GaaraofSand]

Everything I need is within reach of all the fingers on my left hand



and to those bads commenting on my 33k health, I've got 55% avoidance and no buffs on that would increase my health save for blessing of sanctuary : -- I was also still in a couple blues and was wearing redemption shoulderpads lol. Renewed subscription ftw??

This made my day...I hate trying to explain to people who cry "don't be elitest! I tanked everything with my dk an i only hadz 25k hp!!!"

They refer to back in 3.0, but don't understand that dks were nerf'd tremendously, in addition to avoidance being tanked (pun)

Tanked on my 20k unbuffed warrior alt yesterday (searching for groups as a dd takes like 15 min) - Only died once because the healer was nuking and didn't expect me to take dmg !_!

Still, complaining about 30k+ tanks in heroics IS stupid (not elitist, just plain brain-dead-stupid)

as response to the OP: grats on the dream shard

The top reason to play a shaman: healer-dps. Seriously, its the new kind of fun while healing overgeared tanks.
I'm waiting for the moment when i get groupkicked for crappy dps. =D

I do it on my Paladin since we don't OOM while DPSing.

Where are you getting the average gearscore from?

that is ridiculous. by that i should not have been able to tank right at hitting 80.

[Pure Lunacy]

I had 36k armor back in TBC!


...Yea, I was a bear. >.<

[rantus]

I took it as sarcasm, as so many people have such ridiculous expectations of tanks..
