Tankadin gauntlets

[daviis]

Hi!

I have currently this: "Dauntless Handguards" (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25788)
I have the recipe and I am able to make "Gauntlets of the Iron Tower" (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23532#z0z).

I am in a dilemma. The epic one has a bit less stamina, but 2 sockets.
The blue one has +6 stamina and block rating. For raids which one
matters more? +200 HP or +25 block rating?

My profile in the armory: http://armory.wow-europe.com/#character-sheet.xml?r=Trollbane&n=Davis

Thanks

I can't check your armoury profile, so here's the general version.

Once you get past 102.4%, block rating starts to drop off the hit table, effectively wasting it (at least while HS is up).
Use dauntless to get you to 102.4%, and when you can, replace them with the others with 2 +12 stam gems as long as you remain uncrushable

I wrote down my stats from the character sheet:
* dodge: 13,24%
* parry : 15,84%
* block : 19,81%

If i add 5% miss chance, the 5% libram from the badges and the holy shield
for 30%, i get a total of 88,85% total avoidance. That is nowhere near
the 102% required.
I dont know what else to add, I have the best from 5 mans and some epic
gear also. Is there anything I missed in my calculations?

Thanks

You can add about another 5-6% avoidance to that figure (look at the tooltip for your defense on the char screen) for no crits from defense and stuff

[daviis]

Well, i thought, that the bonus to parry/dodge/block provided
by defense is already included in the character sheet.
In that case each point of defense adds 0,04% to those
three stats (which in my case is 5,08%) -- that would be
more than 15%... is that really true?

[Downpour]

The parry/dodge/block is included, but the 5.68% you get added to miss isn't shown

[Thels]

It's a servermate

Base miss: 5.00%
Miss from Defense: 5.68%
Dodge: 13.24%
Parry: 15.84%
Block: 19.81%
Holy Shield: 35.06% (assuming you can equip the libram, which you don't have equipped)

Total: 94.63%

Obvious items to look for a replacement: Head (Felsteel? Or go for the heroic head), Neck (CE Revered), Feet.

Get Dodge on your cloak.

Replace one of the trinkets by the block trinket from Kalitresh.

Your shield is highly aimed at stamina. Bank it and go with the shield from the first boss in Shadow Labs, until you got more avoidance.

Oh, and give my greetings to Nijntje plz.

There's also a base miss chance of 5% to count in, so add 5 to whatever your Defense tooltip shows as your miss chance.
