BS for Tankadins just got better !

[Chevalier]

I haven't seen any Saronite yet (lvl 72) but Cobalt's a plenty

[Arjuna]

I bet it's like adamantite...you'll see it when you get up to 74-75 something...

[PsiVen]

Engineering can DIAF, you already get more tanking gear than armorsmiths

[cougarr]

Anyone mind listing the stats of this new blue tanking set for those unfortunate souls at work who can't get onto mmo or wowhead?

[Arjuna]

it's not on wowhead yet, only on mmo so far from what I've seen...

Can't find this on WoWwiki - do we know how much defense rating it'll take at 80 to get one point of Defense?

we probably do..."we" as in "someone with the appropriate math skills"...

[Arcand]

I have passable math skills but no information.

Somebody give me a couple post-70 data points, and I can try to fake it?

[Dawnseeker]

Idd! Really tempted to drop engy for BS now.... although my warrior's BS, I suppose I could just mine my arse off and send him all the mats for the BoE stuff, but it's not quite the same
Just need to see some lvl 80 goggles with 200 str and 900 stam now *prays*

[Zeels]

I'm not that impressed with the set tbh. Liked the felsteel set a lot better. Only defense rating on that stuff, no parry and dodge. That makes Zeels a sad panda.
