Even with crushing gone having nice block % means we get more use out of our BV. If we can block instead of being hit why is that a waste ? As for the tier leaning towards trash tanking, yes it does lean on the block side which is used on trash or various soft hitting bosses. Yet you can just swap out certain peices making it just as good as any other setup.
I myself more worried about warriors talents
Armored to the teeth + 6% str > 15% str ?
crit block + new sheild block VS paladin mechanics
ok im shifting topics here but my point still same dont be worried about gear it can be swapped around so easy in wotlk worry about what bliz doing to warrior talent tree. _________________ Vanqadin - Paladin - lv 70 - Ghostlands
Hmm, I think the dodge/parry ratings would have to have diminished really far to make block a better choice. Even so many would probably take more stamina over more blocking at that point. Unless they make our blocks scale better, they're just not gonna be very desirable against a 25-man raid boss ever.
Warrior tier sets got changed in the last build. I'm too tired right now to compare. Does it bring them more in line with other tanks? Were we already using the updated stats for this comparison? _________________
