Starting Kara this weekend and need some advice about gears.

There is a guild that ask me to MT there 2nd kara group but i'm kinda nervous to accept, seeing as I have never done kara. I've only been 70 for about 3 weeks and done all normal instance and gather as much gears as i can but its seem almost impossible for me to reach 102.4% avoidance. I've ran the macro to show my avoidance % and right now its hows 98%.

What I'm asking is if someone could check out my gears and give me some tips on reaching 102.4% and if i could attain it with raid buffs? Also, some tips on which gears i could obtain through normal instance if possible. Thanks

I think your best bet are the Felsteel helm and gloves. The helm has 12 more defense rating than the Righteous helm, and socketed with 3 solid stars of elune will serve you for quite some time, which leaves you with a bit more stamina and a lot more armor to boot. The lost spell damage shouldn't be too much of a problem, I never had real problems in Kara with aggro, since you can always use a wizard oil to more than offset what you lost.

The gloves, while having less stamina, have 11 more defense rating, and when I was still working on uncrushability, I socketed them with 1 solid star and one of those red +8 dodge rating gems, which gave me another 3 parry rating as bonus. These two items get you another 2.42% towards uncrushability then, which leaves you at 100.33.

Now I hope you have a druid in your raid, because GotW gives you another 14 agility. With kings, you'll be sitting at 155 agility, which gives you an additional 1.12 dodge over what you have now, so you'll be at 101.45, so that's less than 1% away from your goal.
Some people here said that the first few bosses won't give you much of a headache if you're just a little bit shy of 102.4.

And of course, if you have a shammy, he can drop GoA, and 77 agility, plus the kings bonus, give you a massive 3.36 to dodge, which will allow you to easily reach uncrushable.

Also, you should be able to tank the easier heroics now, at least if you have a priest or lock with you that can buff your health a bit more. You can also trade out gear for more stam, as long as you maintain 485 defense, since nothing in heroics can crush.

You are more than ready for heroics, and actually, that is what I suggest you do. Run heroic underbog (4 badges) or heroic mechanar (5 badges) until you get 15 badges and get your libram of repentance (5.33% block), as that should push you over with a single upgrade.

Since it will be your first time I in those heroics, I recomend the following group makeup:

You
Mage - sheeping
Warlock - enslaving/banishing
MH of some type
Druid/Shammy -- Off heal and dps

A group composition like that gives a lot of breathing room in both instances as some enemies hit really hard (so OH might be needed before your gear is better), and warlocks make Mechanar easy mode in a lot of parts, and they can banish the elementals in underbog.

Agreed with jere, get the libram and you're uncrushable Very Happy

I started Karazhan with a similar avoidance and a bit more health.

Get the libram as soon as you can.




I'd actually recommend Felsteel Gloves and your D3 hat instead of the Felsteel. The Felsteel hat is better HP, certainly, but the 2 piece bonus on the Paladin D3 is very nice for Karazhan. It's a set I'll hate to break (but will do so when Prince decides to keel over and cough up my damn hat)
