warriors ftw

When I grow up, I wanna let my little warrior do this.

I was in a random pug the other day, in the Pit of Saron, a warrior from hakkar was the second highest dps with 3200. Did not check his spec, but was easy to heal aswell. So this is possible they have a high amount of health. He might not have the AOE like a paladin or DK tank but when a tank does that much damage who cares.

Yeah, I love my warrior. Allows me to get close up and personal. Cant say face to face because im just ankle height anyways. lol

You'll generally find that they are capped on hit and expertise and have a crapload of block rating and block value. Their Str and AP are normally off the chart since that increases the block rating and value as well. Best site to check out those builds is www.tankspot.com. Ciderhelm is one of the best warrior tanks in the game.

I haven't worried too much about block as yet as I am waiting for the new expansion as the mechanics for block will change to where a % of incoming damage will be blocked. At present I battle to see where blocking 5K damage on an incoming hit of 30K makes much of a difference when my parry and dodge helps to not be in the same space as the hit. ICC is a different mechanic though with the dodge nerf.

Maybe I'll work up a block set to see if it's viable. Ah stuff it, 3 80's are a pain to gear up anyway. I'll wait.
