The DK tank generally blames me after the group disbands I am trying to understand if it is me, the tank or someombination thereof. For example, I was running hero UK the other night and we kept wing on trash pulls andould not even engage the first boss before the group disbanded. My healing SP after self buff is over 1900 with 450 MP5. I have scessfully ran heros and got through a lot of Naxx. My main problem is dealing with boss mhans and a poor UI but Iertainly have the fundamentals of healing down spif to mylass and I generally do notause wes on trash pulls. Anyways, after the last failed group Ihked the armory of the tank to gain a better understanding of what the problemsould be and his build was 71 in frost, def rating=485, dodge = 9.5%, parry = 11.0% with 19.7K HP. Is thislose enough sh that a good healer should have made up the slk? I read that tanks (eept bears) should shoot for a def of 535. What about %dodge, %parry, HP and Armor? Is going 71 frost a good tanking build? 71 points in Frost sounds like a lazy DK who heard the Frost was the tanking tree (:P) and just ran with it. There are major tank talents in the first row of the other two trees thatan’t really be skped by a DK who is serious about tanking. 485 defense is fully inadequate for heros. That tanks wasn’t even 23 of the way to where he needs to be defense-wise to berit immune vs. hero bosses. Hell…he’s 4045 points shy of what he needs to berit immune vs. trash mobs in a hero. What you were trying to heal was a DK with 20% avoidae who was highly sueptible torits thatould knk off half his health and with a modified defense that low, he’d be gettingrit a LOT in a hero. A dently geared hero tank will have in the neighborhood of 35-40% avoidae, berit immune, and for DKs they should have upwards of 26-28k HP minimum w Frost Presee. Anything else and you’re just begging for a repair bill.
