Avoidance VS Stam

Yeah, i know that this must have been brought up at least a thousand times, but nonetheless i had trouble finding an answer to this =X
So i've got my def cap and i thought to myself: "well, now i clearly have to get uncrushable, i mean block caped. Gathering up my avoidance i noticed that i was falling behind on stamina compared to other tanks (which isn't surprising) and here comes teh question: how bad do u need to get block caped? Is it worth going low on stamina?

Oranges vs. Mangoes, round two!

You want *enough* avoidance for the block cap, and *enough* stamina to avoid being killed by bosses. After that, you can do whatever you like.

OK?

Oh, but as a disclaimer, you may regret it if you don't have enough EH on certain fights (S3D, Malygos, Ulduar).

You didn't really understand what i was asking =X. Try to put yourself in a blue-geared tank shoes. The question is: while gearing up for Naxx, do i gimp myself on avoidance to become block caped? Or do i gem for stamina? Let's try to make it simpler. You have two trinket slots. What would you do, get both trinkets for stamina? Both for avoidance? Or one of each?

While gearing up for Naxx you shouldn't bother with block cap. You are supposed to be block capped *in* naxx gear, not before that.

Tanking... srs business

Here's a thread in the Advanced Training forums arguing my take on the matter:

Unless you can reach the block cap, you should gem for Stamina and Effective Health(Armor, not BV). Only after you are certain you can reach the block cap should you regem/reenchant for defense in order to hit the block cap.

...

To gear up for Naxx, take the highest ilvl tank item you can grab for each slot from heroics, badges and crafts.

Done.




There's no science. Don't overthink. Blizz employees put the thinking in, to make sure the game works with what it has to offer to you.
