My new shoes.

I was lucky enough to get a pair of Boots of the Protector. If Boots of Elusion or Battlescar Boots ever drops, should I bother getting them ? It seems like the Protector boots are superior to both...

Where is the next upgrade to these boots ?

Boots of Elusion are way better for boss tanking and hard hitting mobs than the ones you got right now, but what you got now are pretty nice for aoe tanking.

Grats on the new boots.

Does Prince hit you for anywhere near 10k ? if yes you should seriously consider either healing instead or go back to tanking 5mans.

once one is uncrushable, health becomes the weak link

spells ignore armor, block only mitigates so much, and there are multiple boss encounters (kael'thas' 4 lieutenants, first one at a time, then all 4 at once) where a tank may die and you gotta taunt him off a caster and tank 2 bosses while the tank gets rezed (most likely druid or darkmoon card: twisting nether, remember warriors dont have mana pools and ill take a combat rez and some extra workload over a full wipe and raid boss despawn anyday) and rebuilds threat

read carefully what i had written please.

think off this: your HS is going off.. you got 10k hp and prince hits you normal around 3k.

in phase 2 he sometimes hits you 2 times in "one" strike so guess you get 6k dmg normally.

now, your Hs is going off right when he is beating on you... so you get a Crushing (means 3+1,5k+3+1,5k dmg if he hit with both attacks simultaniously, thats 9k dmg in 1 second) in a bad moment you're kissing the sand..

simple answer time, the protector boots are better:)

next upgrade possibility would be Red Havoc Boots lucky for you that you are a BS already
