Seem to be getting hit very hard. Gear help?

Alright. When I'm doing heroics i seem to be taking massive amount of damage for some reason. My roommate is the healer i primarily run with and at times has problems keeping me up. What I'm wondering is, is it my gear that is the problem or possibly something else. I always position myself correctly and make sure I'm never getting hit from the sides or behind.(When possible)

Also on the gear, I have a Red Sword of Courage with the same enchant as my crusher that I normally use. I just happened to have logged off with that one equipped as i was farming before logging.

So what I'm looking to find out is what exactly i can do to help this (with understandably getting better gear).

what are your tanking trinkets?

Your gear's mostly fine, but some more HP wouldn't go amiss. Grab a sta/agi armor patch from the AH, they should be pretty cheap there.

Also, get a +22 stamina enchant on your boots rather than +AP, or better yet, grab either the Knights of the Ebon Blade honored boots (which you should be able to get with quests in Icecrown), the Wyrmrest Accord revered boots or the Blacksmithing ones and slap the stamina enchant on them.

There's also better bracers from the quest line in the Occulus, so complete that on Normal for a reliable upgrade to your Tempered Saronite ones.

Being crushable doesn't help. Get a 40AP/15 Resilence shoulder enchant from Wintergrasp to fix that.

Obviously some tanking trinkets would be nice, H Violet Hold for the Block one, halls of lightning for +def and 111Stam from H Azjol Nerub.

As well as enchanting the remainder of your gear will help.

And I assume being that you are a BS you have sockets in your gloves, bracers and belt.

He meant crittable.

Your main reason for taking a lot of damage is you have really low avoidance. If you're trying to aoe tank heroics, chances are that if you're tanking three mobs, every time each of them swing, you're probably takin at least two of those swings, perhaps all three, and since most mobs have a 2.0-3.0 swing timer for trash mobs, thats a lot of incoming damage

Thank you everyone, for helping.

I see no glaring issues, even avoidance isn't that low. Block value might be suffering and more HP never hurts, but as long as you don't do anything insane you ought to be fine.

Pick up some tanking trinkets (better get started farming your daily Hadronox) and you'll be golden.

If youre doing strictly heroics you can neglect stamina a little bit. I died alot in heroics, and I found I was not dying because of burst, but just too much damage overall. Healer would spam heals, but I wouldnt be getting topped off, healer was slowly falling behind till I died.

Stamina sure doesnt hurt, but if youre healer cant keep up it wont really help. Stacking stamina but having such low mitigation and avoidance that you rarely actually get topped off to take advantage of it all just doesnt make sense.

Defence, even way past 540, will be most helpful. Try to get a helm with a meta socket too (heroic nexus or heroic gundrak), the 5% block value or 2% armor whichever you choose is really nice.

Im assuming youre not dying from burst damage....if you are then yeah you need stamina.
