hunters also are same fixed ammount hit and rest to crit + ap + agi +int. mainy sta def rate block rate parry rate dodge rate and resilience in some cases if you got all those looking good. But gone are the days of stacking warriors and rogues to cleave down everything like in classic. warriors doesnt really need that much hit to begin with as prot. Now with that said, there will still be a place for an arms warrior and a rogue in your raid comp. If you check private server dps logs you can see that even into Black Temple, your warriors will be doing anywhere between 30% to 50% lower dps than similarly geared hunters and warlocks. Critical Strike Rating is your second-best DPS stat, and can sometimes even be a higher gain than Strength depending on your stats. It takes 22.0769 Critical Strike Rating to gain 1 Critical Strike Chance at level 70. 4th adding their heavy gear dependence to boss and trash mechanics favoring ranged dps>melee dps and you start to see significant lags in dps. Critical Strike Rating simply increases your chance to land critical hits. Isn't there a block value or rating I need to hit as. From my understanding, I need 490 defense to be uncritable and at least 10k hp unbuffed for heroics. 3rd is raid mechanics favor ranged dps over melee unless you want to either be dead the whole fight or watch your healers oom before they should (look no further than Leotheras in SSC). Does anyone know any good guides for warrior TBC tank gearing for heroics Been doing research online and I'm struggling to find a TBC guide. It's not until you get a set of warglaves and some Sunwell gear that you break into the top 5. 2nd they are extremely gear dependent as another commenter mentioned, their dps sub T5, is pretty bad, and until T6 is middle of the pack. Warriors and rogues face a variety of issues in TBC in regards to getting a raid spot & dps output.
